fallout 3 game of the year edition prompt for dlc installation not showing up

Try installing the game from the DLC disc instead of the Game disc. If I remember correctly, that was the way to get the DLC for the Game of the Year edition of Fallout 3 and the Ultimate Edition of Fallout New Vegas. You will need to uninstall the games first.

The reason Hexic HD never showed up, is because you never actually purchased it. You can however get it from the xbox.com website, and once you do it will show on your xbox one in the ready to install section. The dlc for Fallout 3 is compatible. What
you didn't say is which version of Fallout 3 you have (game of the year or the seperate dlc discs) the xbox one should recognise the discs and install the dlc.

I have a fallout 3 problem myself. I have fallout 3 GOTY, my game disc does not read well on the one but the 360 it reads fine. the dlc disc of fallout 3 is fine and can read on the one.

Because I preordered fallout 4 I got fallout 3 game itself for download but no dlc with it so I put in the dlc disc and the console installed the dlc no problem. I run the game and check downloads and none of the dlc shows up at all not even when I load
the game but it's on my game manager as installed...

Are you trying to use the regular fallout 3 disc or the game of the year edition? I've read a lot of posts saying there are problems with the game of the year edition saying it won't work or it won't let you install the dlc. Do you have any other backwards
compatible discs that won't work either or is it just fallout?

Hey Babb

Thank you for providing us with this insight.

In regards to the game you speak of, the only version of this title we have on the Store is

Fallout 3. There is no version of the "Game of the Year" [GOTY] edition to download digitally.

That being said, if you installed in physically via your disc, this would indicate why game does not show up in your Ready to install section of your
Games and apps.

Alternatively, you could own a digital version of your game, and you could install that to play the base game, but since you have all the downloadable content [DLC] attached to the physical copy, you would have to insert that into your console in order to
have access to this.

This is also the case for any specific games that carry that GOTY anagram, such as the Fable 2 Platinum Edition, that includes all the DLC on the disk, but if you try to use a regular version of the game, you will be unable to load your save data. Its a
lil different in that sense, however I have no experience with Fallout 3 GOTY edition as I no longer have that title physically :c and you need to use that 2nd disc in order for you to access the DLC in Fallout 3.

I hope this was able to clear up some confusion for you.
