Forum:Fallout 3 DLC HELP!!!!!!

so im a big fallout fan. its one of the most addicting games ive ever played so i was thrilled to learn that my brother got the disc with all 5 fallout3 add-ons. im pretty sure he had game of the year addition. anyway whatever disc it was he took it back to the store after installing the packs on his harddrive. so i took my microsoft data-transfer cord and copied the dlcs from his harddrive to mine. i know thier on my harddrive cuz when i check the memory from my dashboard  it says they are on there. however when i start up my fallout3 disc the "downloadable content" selection at the bottom of the main menu is dim and unselectable. so i was wonderin if anybody knew what i did wrong or what i can do to solve my unfortunate dillema. thank a bunch!Schecter7 19:24, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

You probably need to install them with the disk. On mine, when it says "press start", press it, and then it says "loading extra content" for a short time before the menu comes up. If it was working properly, it do exactly that, and you don't do anything with "downloadable content". When you put disk in, it takes you to a menu, and you select which ones you want to install. I also installed the game itself, and all the add ons on to my xbox hard drive, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.Pappy002 05:42, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

I believe I had the same problem with the DLC on my computer, which is win7, what I did is went into computer and clicked on the disc drive where I put the DLC disc in to manually make the disc play, which installed the DLC. hope that helps some. Saxony4 05:45, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
