I wonder if the guys at Bioware are safe asleep right now, thinking they solved the problem and everybody is happy....

Once you have updated your PS3 firmware there is NO going back, you cannot roll back to a previous version and a format will NOT remove it. hope thats clear now :)

I was very very happy when i saw "patch 1.02 is available now" then i played and thought "YEAH I can play more than 10minutes, but if the game crashes after 12 or 15 minutes"so I started my computer to look if somebody else has this problem" :crying:

ok it's clear now Steve.... so i have to kick it out of my window :pinched:
damn it ... sony update you ******* firmware!

Like I said, maybe this IS actually your patch, and it was uploaded in the wrong PSN, being incompatible with the EU version.

But I understand that no US-player wants to register for the EU store to play the guinea pig and find out.

Sony NA decided they didnt feel like releasing the patch to the US.  Like always Sony NA doesn't wanna do crap

the best way to update your firmware is to download it by pc and save it to a USB.. update you ps3 by using a USB data.. it is more safe than updating your ps3 using internet.


I'll bite. Why is it "more safe than updating your ps3 using internet"?

first, updating ps3 using internet is far too slow, not like updating using a usb... Sometimes updating your ps3 using internet, may cause your ps3 to break, because of the corrupted data that you download... i tell you it is more safe to update your ps3 using a usb rather than internet.. if you like more information go to sony playstation website, click forum, choose ps3 updates... there are more topics about 3.30 firmware problems and the best way to update your ps3.

This is just more speculation, but these forums have slowed down quite a bit from the Euros, not sure if that's a time-zone thing or they're all actually playing. The reports are mixed 1-2 friends from Europe say no freezes, others on here still posting about freezes post-patch. Oh me oh my. :(

Patch opinion after 3H.



PS3 still seems to struggle a lot but now it finds a way out of the framrate locks, no crashes so far after 3H.



But i have to say im rather thankfull to Bioware for trying to fix it in some manor at least.



Conclusion: Im done with PS3 DAO now... and not going back.



Im going to save up for a monster rig instead to play these kind of games as fluently as possible because i´ve grown so tired of this under the last couple of weeks.



I wish everyone else on this forum good luck with the PS3 version... peace out.

This patch is surely regionfree since it does not change anything language-specific. Even if it would do so this game has multi language support. (The language of the game depends on your console settings. I'm using the US Version with german as language.)

This means even if they send the patch meant to be for NA to EU it would not be a problem.

As for your idea of trying to update the US-Version with an EU account; I tried that and I do not get any patch.

It's pretty simple either Bioware missed something while looking for the reason of the freezes(which can happen to every developer, and actaully does) or Sony ****ed up somehow, tho I don't know how they could **** up a simple download...then again everything is possible.^^;

When you download the firmware either via the PS3's network, or via a USB stick, it saves the PUP somewhere on the local drive, then executes the file which reboots and runs the firmware.

If the data gets corrupted at some point, it won't pass the file integrity check, and it won't execute. You either have a working firmware file that passes validation and matches byte-for-byte whatever hash Sony are using; or, you have a corrupt file that doesn't validate.

And you run into the same probability of that happening whether you download it via the PS3 or via USB.

I've done USB downloads and it's definitely quicker than using PSN, but I really don't know where this "oh it's safer" mentality has come from. It's not just you, I see it everywhere, and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

True but from what I have been seeing on this forum, it doesn't look good. Guess I will just have to try it and find out.

 -update-  Hard to try it when it's not out here yet.

Well, maybe you are right, but I guessed there must be differences because the Awakening disc version from the US does not work with the original DA:O from Europe either...
Now I am really wondering what the daybrings, and if this all clears up later on.

Would be pretty stupid to release the wrong patch to the wrong region. However, it is true we don't have the patch yet.

I almost don't care anymore, this is one lady who is getting fed up with the whole thing.

In germany we have no disc version of awaking.
in all stores the shop assistants tell you, that you only can get awaking over PSN.
thats the reason why i cant register it on the bioware forum.
i could play for approx an hour......next freeze. so problem in EU isn't fixed... hope you guys have more luck with the patch

I know there is no disc version in Germany... I am German too.^^
For that reason I wanted the US disc, but it is not compatible.

As for the patch, I´ll just keep my PS3 offline until the problem is resolved. I am sorry for everyone who already has firmware 3.3 and still suffers freezing. :(

You will have no choice but to quit the game. If this patch doesn't work it will be weeks before another one is reaedy.

No, it this doesn't do it, I will trade the game and move on.
