Fallout 3: PC Broken Steel DLC has error after download

What are Bethesda playing at? Apparently, the Broken Steel DLC for the PC version of Fallout 3 is broken already. As explained on the Bethesda forums, the DLC downloads and then throws up an error on the screen.

According to Eurogamer who have tried this themselves, the error reads: “Not a cryptographic message or the cryptographic message is not formatted correctly. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×8009200D).”

Eurogamer also states that there are differences between the reported file-size (510MB) and the file you actually click through to download (471.6MB).

After the problems with The Pitt DLC, you would of thought Bethesda would be keen to avoid any problems this time around. Well, this clearly hasnt been the case.
