Pre-order PSN redeemed - no items in game

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 12:24 pm

Hello,

I have the PS3 New Vegas. I installed the game and proceeded to quit the game immediately once the install had completed. I went into the PSN store and redeemed my voucher code. Success. I downloaded and installed the content from the PSN store GUI. I exited the PSN store and started New Vegas. I started a new game. After about an hour in (spoke with the lady who taught me how to shoot and gave me the rifle, poked around town a bit), I do not see any of my Caravan pack preordered bonus items in my inventory. I do not see any items under the "Downloadable Content" portion of the main menu.

I have played the original Fallout 3 roughly 70 hours; for reference sake.

Would anyone be able to instruct me on how to activate the items in-game? (I exited the game, and started a New game, once given the Pip Boy I was not able to see any of the preoder items).

Thanks in advance,
PRiz

For what it's worth the problem appears to be a region issue. The DLC has "(US)" at the end for USA, and my game has "(CA)" at the end. Might be why the DLC is not recognized.

Hoping for a fix soon.

Restarted my character for the 4th time and said to myself ...

- all this for a stupid canteen and crappy starting gear I'll replace in an hour anyway?

Now I'm lv 3 and don't care about the pre-order items. Whatever.

Otherwise, the game is working fine for me.

I save often because everyone keeps crying about random freeze/crash stuff.

Baba Booey: were you experiencing the same problem beforehand? Are you a Canadian resident?

I preordered from Amazon and got the Tribal Pack. I had no problem downloading or using the pack, I just found it weird after I entered my code it brought up two things to DL. One was the Tribal pack, the other was the Tribal pack (French Version). Huh? I dunno the Tribal pack DLed fine and works but still weird.

Uninstall US English pack, download the French 12MB pack (the French one contains both languages and is CA coded). Tested and fixed my problem.

Guys i just figured it out, i went back in and redownloaded BOTH versions, English AND French. Once you dl the french version go up to game utility you'll notice there's a nice little (CA) next to it. Crappy thing about it is you HAVE to start a new game to get the items. Once you start a new game and when u wake up all drowsy it'll say 'Classic Pack Activated' or whatever. BTW french version doesn't make your game french. I guess bethesda ment Canadian rather than french but it's workjing for me now good luck to you all.
