Fallout 3 Disc-Based GOTY - PEGI(Uncut)-Version Problems in Germany

I have some problems getting my PEGI(uncut)-version of Fallout 3 GOTY to run in Germany. If I insert Disc 1, it loads the german (cut)-version (where there is no blood and you can't shoot the legs, etc. off). When I change my region to Austria(where the
game is uncut and in german) or United Kingdom it also loads the german (cut)-version. Disc 2 with all DLCs isn't recognized at all.

Has somebody the same issues and found a solution?

:)

 

Gears Of War 3 Uncut or AT PEGI (Amazon)

Both the AT PEGI- and the USK-Version have a German manual and cover, they also are both playable in German and English and they are both uncut. the only difference is, that USK-Version is for sale in Germany and the AT PEGI-Version for sale in Austria.
The USK emblem is a little bit bigger than the PEGI emblem and caused to its red colour it is much more eye-cathiching the one of PEGI. If they are the same price take the PEGI-Version, if not you have to think about, whether you are willing to pay more for
having the PEGI emblem on the cover or not.

 

saints row 3 uncut coop in deutschland?!

habe folgendes problem: ich wohne in deutschland und will mit einem österreichischen kumpel saints row 3 coop spielen. die cut (usk-) version fällt schon mal weg, da wurde das spiel verstümmelt bis zum geht nicht mehr! also bleibt mir die möglichkeit
die uncut (pegi-) version aus österreich zu importieren. klingt schön und gut, doch bei dem spiel ist anscheinend ein online-pass dabei, den man aktivieren muss, um multiplayer und coop zu spielen. laut einiger rezensionen bei amazon lässt sich in deutschland
nur die usk-version aktivieren hat jemand die pegi version in deutschland schon aktiviert und wenn ja wie? wäre sehr hilfreich

 

Hi KevCole14,

Please fill in this survey with the problem you're having, it may be something the engineers can look into and sort out in a future update

Is the game disc you have a German version of the game?

 

@Sneltje: Yes, it is a German version. But there are two different German versions available: one version espepecially for Germany which is a censored (cut) version of the game (where there is no blood, you can't shoot bodyparts off an enemy, some quests
are missing, etc.). And then there is one German version which is uncensored (uncut) like the UK version (so you can shoot body parts off enemies, all quests are there, etc.). This version is sold in Austria where the censoring laws aren't that high as in
Germany. And I have that version.

 

Ok but it worked on your Xbox 360 without any issues right.

But now that you are trying to play it on the Xbox One as part of the backward compatibility it only comes up with as the German censored version right?

To me it looks like the Xbox One which downloads the BWC version checks you're localization compared with IP address and only gives out a German version and not the which is available in Austria.

Best thing to do is to use the form that Mr Xbox posted

twtpoll.com/backwardcompatibility

And hope for the best but I bet it is tough as Microsoft is bound to legal law and has to respect them per country. Now I don't know if you live near any of the borders of Austia or Netherlands maybe if you hook up you're Xbox One there and re install it,
it might solve it.

I know that Microsoft has some if these local issue here in Europe.

I live in the Netherlands and friends of my who live in Belgium have the same issues in which they want the English version but get the French version.

Hope it will be solved for you soon.

 

First, thank you for your answer.

Yeah, on my Xbox 360 it worked without problems.

I filled out the form, but as you mentioned I don't think so too that this problem can be solved easily. Only if on the disc there is a code or somewhat from which can be detected which version it is. And unfortunately I don't have the option to drive to
Austria and download it there.

But hope dies last, so maybe they come up with a solution

 

I hope so too, for you man.

Good luck and keep us updated if any changes come up.

 

Hi,

i have the same Problem. I changed to the to the austrian store and still got the censored german Version. (03/31/16)

But if it's an IP adress problem I don't understand why I can download L4D2 and Borderlands both uncensored and what's more crazy i can download Gears of War?
