Broken Steel got the nick "Broken Still" even before its release, but it looks like it's living up to the name. Kotaku and Eurogamer are running stories.<blockquote>According to early posts on the Bethesda Softworks forum and our own experiences here, the DLC downloads and then throws up an error.
The error says: "Not a cryptographic message or the cryptographic message is not formatted correctly. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009200D)."
There also appears to be a difference between the reported file-size (471.6MB) and the file you actually click through to download (510MB). </blockquote>Bethesda replies by way of Dermont.<blockquote>Still looking into. I advise every NOT to try to hack the .cab file or anything to screw up the game in this state. Just continue to report any new issues found to the correct forums threads. Thanks for you patience and once again sorry for the inconvenience.
Bloody thing is still kicking and screaming on our end to, so we feel your pain (I even used my own M$ fun point to buy the add on).</blockquote>For comic mockings, see Penny Arcade and Backward Compatible.
Anyway, Bethesda is once again blaming Games for Windows Live and professing their own innocence, though I'm not sure I'm buying that one again. The file's been pulled from GfWL, and this is the official reply via Hardforum.<blockquote>As we reported previously, PC users who downloaded the Broken Steel downloadable content via Games for Windows Live this morning were treated to a "cryptographic message is not formatted correctly" error. We contacted Bethesda's Pete Hines, who explained that the error is related to Games for Windows Live.</blockquote>Thanks Eternal, Ausir, tfp, VRaptor117 and steppenwanderer.
