Reports are emerging of PC gamers being unable to install Broken Steel, the latest Fallout 3 DLC from Bethesda.
The reports have cropped up from numerous users on the Bethesda forum.
The error reads, "Not a cryptographic message or the cryptographic message is not formatted correctly. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009200D)."
A Bethesda developer responded, "Gathering more materials to report to every one on our side. Never a dull day on DLC release. Also sorry for every one that is having trouble on PC. We are looking into it."
While this is clearly not an isolated issue, it's unclear how widespread it is at this point. So far, issues with the 360 version haven't been reported.
You may remember that the last piece of Fallout 3 DLC - The Pitt - was pulled from Xbox Live shortly after release due to bugs before making a reappearance a couple of days later.
For more on Broken Steel, see SPOnG's preview and Q&A with Bethesda's VP of marketing and PR, Pete Hines.

I spent around an hour at best with stupid Xbox 360 staff that had no clue what I was trying to explain about The Pitt download with all the problems it had. Eventually after speaking to several people I asked for my points back, this was also hard and told them its not fit for the purpose etc and I got my 800points back! Redownloaded the corrected dlc and got the expansion for nothing!
Really cannot wait to get back home and play Broken Steel!!

They better f**kin' fix it! The Microsoft point system is the stupidest pile of crap that has ever been conceived by man kind! I speant half a 25 dollar gift card just to buy 1000 Microsoft points, to buy something that is 800 points(which is probably really like 5 bucks or something) only to see that Broken Steel "Failed to install" with no explanation as to why! Microsoft you dirt bag swindler! I WANT MY DLC OR MY MONEY BACK!!!
