Metadata Not Valid
If you get an error indicating that your metadata is not valid, it means that the system time (your actual Windows System Clock) is not correct. If you open it up and synchronize it (in Vista) or use a third party clock synchronization software (in XP), the issue should be resolved.

hey ive been having trouble with Fallout Broken Steel everytime i download it just sits there and says calulating down load size. i tried to call tech support but it just kept asking me about xbox and i dont know what in the world port 3074 is. please help im just a simple man who just wants to download something and get along with his life
You would need to look into port forwarding for your firewall/router software and hardware, in order to properly forward port 3074.
Don't know how to post without replying, there is no option. Anyway, my question is where exactly does games for windows live download the content to. For instance I downloaded Broken Steel (b/c apparently this is the only place you can possible get it online) and I cannot open the stuff in the geck due to no .bsa file for broken steel being there. I searched my computer and nothing new has been added pertaining to Fallout 3. Any help will be appreciated.
Depends on your OS.
XP
Vista is C:\Users\"nt user name"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC
I looked in the "users" folder and the folders it contains and there is no such "AppData", "Local", "Xlive", or "DLC" folder on my computer (i searched everywhere). I also searched for .esm and .bsa files as well as for "broken", "steel", and "dlc" and no files where found for Broken Steel. I am confused here because I downloaded it and it plays when I play my game. When I downloaded it was downloading a .bsa file? I know everyone who downloads these add ons can modify them with the game makers mod tool the "geck", but I can't fild the files anywhere on my computer. I also looked in every folder on my computer with the word "microsoft" on it. I downloaded regularly and everything was automatic. There are simply no files to be found. How can I check where GFWL is pulling the information from when I play b/c the game is deffinitely there? Oh, and I am the administrator of the computer and have access to everything. In fact my computer is only 2 weeks old and very little has been added to it. OS is vista 32bit. Thanks.
Nevermind, I found it elsewhere. The issue was stupid vista having the option to unhide files in a really nonsensical place. Thanks anyway.
Hate to break it to you. The option has been in the same place, last two OS's. Anyways sorry for not posting the files/folders where hidden,
What or where is port 3074? Some us are not techies. All I know, I bought the download for Pitt, I get the calculating error. I called x-box, they said call bethesda, they couldn't figrure. Now, I"m reading about this port thing. Can some explain it in "people" terms. As of right now, I'm frustrated that I paid for something that isn't working.
and what happens if i dont have public ip, all my ports are closed and i cant open any at all?

There is only one way. Contact the ISP.
Is there a link for the brazillian portuguese version?
Hi,
I am having this same problem. Please let me know where this is "hidden" as I downloaded the content on a different computer and I need to find it to migrate it to my gaming computer.
Please be exact as I am 58 and not as smart as most of yall.
Thanks in advance !!!
