How to download Fallout 3 (and other games) out of your own country

[Sara] · Jul 26, 2016

Hello, Few days ago me and my brother tried to download Fallout 3 from the store, but as soon as I click on "download " appear an error which say: "Sorry, something went wrong. This isn't available for your region, or the file is corrupted, or we don't
recognize the format. Find more by looking up status code 80150017 at www.xbox.com/errorhelp". My brother lives in Germany but since that we're Italian we bought our Xbox in Italy and our Xbox Live account was localized in Italy. After few research about the
error we find out that the problem was the account. So we changed country from Italy to Germany and finally we were able to download the game. After finished the download we start the game but...it was in german. No problem but, the Fallout 3 german it's too
much complicated for our german level. Since that now we can't change again the localization of the account we created another one localized in Italy. We tried with other games but nothing. That error appeaer every time. But if we change again the localization
from Italy to Germany, the games will be downloaded in german and even if the console language is setted on Italian, games will run in german. What can we do? Is there any solution? PS: Sorry for my English and all the grammar error (I'm writing from a tablet).

Promotion name: “Free Fallout 3 code with digital purchase of Fallout 4”

Date of purchase: “Thursday, November 05, 2015”

“The message with my Fallout 3 code has expired.”

I was away out of the country and could not download.

Thanks,

GH:WT bundle or 3 other games!

Those other 3 games are pants... so go for GHWT

Unless you change your other 3 games to games such as : Fallout 3, GOW2 & SR 2..

Sorry to hear it. Some content is region locked and cannot be downloaded outside the region that it was originally intended for. This would seem to be the case for Fallout 3. The best suggestion I can offer is to give the developer a try and see if they
have a way to change the language for you.

Same here. I downloaded Fallout 3 that came with Fallout 4 and the was code was accepted. However the game won't load, displaying that if I own the game or no and I should insert the disc. The code that came with the message was Ox803f8001 but no matter
how much I try, the game won't load.

Some games are region locked by their publisher. You should check if Fallout NV is available for digital download in your country.

Hi,

For issues with the download/install problem with Fallout 4 it sounds like there is something corrupt the drive or external storage (if you own an external drive). I'm not sure what that issue is as though. If other games install, but Fallout 4 won't either from disc or download, it won't be a hard drive issue. Do other games install okay?

Regardless of how you install a game, disc or digital the console always checks first if you have a digital license for the game. If this isn't found (it takes seconds) it will look for a disc. Digital downloads aren't locked to a specific account. You only need to own the game either digitally tied to your account or on disc.

So, if you have access to an external drive, you could take this to your friends console and either copy or download Fallout 4 to an external drive. Then insert this drive into your Xbox and use your disc to launch the game. This should work.

If you're having issues installing other games you may need to perform a console reset.

Which country do you live in? If you do not live in the US then your IP address will be blocking the install if the game is not originally available in your country

I live in Brazil! I have already made several purchases on Xbox Live American, such as Bomberman Battlefest, Vigilante 8, Sonic 3, among others ... That is, the only game that is having trouble is "Burnout Takedown" !!! Your hypothesis of IP blocking makes
no sense, since I made other purchases normally.

I have just searched the game for Brazil and it is not available in your country. This is as per your country's rules and regulations. I'm afraid that because of IP blocking on the game you will not be able to download it for your country no matter how
many games you've downloaded in the past.
