You won´t lose what you paid for....it is sad that you cannot play now, but at least you will probably be able to play the stuff in the future. Still better than saying to quit completely and the money is gone for nothing.

Just play something else and get back to DA sometime, when hopefully all is fixed.

Well im keeping my hopes up i got my money out of the game beat it 15times. I ususally play call of duty or demon souls since this mess started although i've heavily cut down on my gaming since DAO was broken.

This just sucks...DAO is my favorite game for my PS3, but if the patch doesn't work, I have to choose to either be able to access the PSN and get online, or be able to play DAO.

this really is truly unacceptable business practice by Sony. How are you gonna tell a company that your gonna release the patch at a certain time and 7 hours later it still not be up for NA. I dont blame Bioware at all for this whole mess.



Sony was the one who had to rush to release a firmware update for 3D fuctions when there arent even any 3D games out at all, no 3D movies are out yet, and im sure 99% of PS3 players wont even have a 3D tv anytime in the near future. This was just Sony doing what they always do. Try to be first in line when it comes to new products and features and half the time ends up causing issues cuz they just had to rush instead of taking extra time to make sure everything worked properly in the first place.

I agree Bronzchulo 3D tv's wont be main stream for many years. I hear they give you headaces and dizzy spells anyway.

Replace Sony with Microsoft and it's even more true.

EDIT: Not to say Sony doesn't, but all I could think while reading that was Microsoft.

It sure seems like the patch works! I downloaded it this morning, and have been playing without any issues for almost 2 hours now!

The patch works! You just have to be online/signed in to the PSN, start the game, and it will automatically prompt you to download!

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. :(


Even tho it probably is of no help for you, at least the german version(DLC of course) of Awakening is suppossed to work with the US Version of DAO. At least that's what the support team told me...which I couldn't test yet because of the DLC bug(not showing up any content).

I'm not sure about Awakening, but at least DAO has german and english support. My guess is that Awakening only has one the region-specific language(since it's rather huge and a DLC). Surely this shoudl not have any impact on any Disc-Version, but why make a Disc-Version with german support if you're never gonna sell it in any german speaking country?

It surely sucks and if you ask me is quite silly, especially considering the fact that the PS3 itself is region-free.

I was surprised myself that Germany already got it this morning! Not sure how Sony handles it with these updates, but I'm sure everyone's gonna get it throughout the day.

those who dowload the new patch and still have freezes:

- did you play DAO with the old save games?

- did it still freeze when you tried a new game?

- or...... ???

So is the patch available in North America yet?  I am in NA but there is no patch when I load DAO.

Humm...if the patch worked when BioWare released it and now when Sony releases it, it no longer works....something is amiss here.

We are very pleased to announce that there will be a PS3 patch available later tonight for the Playstation 3 version of Dragon Age: Origins. The patch is expected at 12 Midnight tonight PST for North America. We do not have an exact time for Europe, but we hope the times will be as close together as possible.

This patch will fix the recent crashing that was caused by the upgrade to the 3.3 firmware update. It will also fix the in-game DLC store to show free DLC content redeemed with promo codes and it will also fix the bug with darkspawn trophies. So again this patch will fix:

* Crashing caused by the 3.3 firmware update

* Missing free DLC content in the in-game store

* Darkspawn trophies

This patch is expected later tonight for all Playstation 3 fans in North America and Europe. Big thanks go out to the team and to the good folks at Sony for making this a priority to help us launch The Darkspawn Chronicles which will be available starting tomorrow.

Darkspawn Chronicles will be available for the PS3 in North America at approximately 4pm PST tomorrow May 18. It will be available for Europe on Wednesday May 19, when we know the time, we will let you know.

So that's 3 a.m. EST I think if I have my time zones right. (my comment here, not Chris) :D

NOW is 8:30 am PST, they said it will be available at 4pm, so please wait a few hours more. Regarding European users, should be available at midnight, so NOBODY can tell at the moment if the patch worked or not.



The patch some European users downloaded and tested may have been a mistake or similar. To check if the patch is the right one, you should see if there are trophies regarding Darkspawn Chronicles.

how can i deinstall firmware update 3.3, want to play DA:O without freezes..... because i want to see the end >.< of the game and the Awaking addon


I think you can format your hard drive and everything should be the way it was when you bought the PS3; I AM NOT 100% SURE THIS DOES WORK FOR THE FIRMWARE THOUH.

But the downside would be to lose all savegames.


hmm if i format my hard drive, all data are lost... the savegames doesn't matter, BUT how should i get my awaking and DLC's that i buyed if i can't connect to psn without firmware 3.3 :o


Theres really no easy way to deinstall a firmware update I have seen hardware from other websites that claim to help you flash the ROM side of the PS3 n you put what default patch you would like in their such as 2.20 ect but im not willing to spend 70 US dollers to flash my rom side of the ps just to play freeze free n

Hello gamers~



i've been following this topic, since i updated to 3.30, i was on my first playthrough. Now it seems we have a patch update. i have yet to see if it helps or not.



anyway i am on my secon playthrough now (before patch) and i have only crashed ONCE



this is why, i save every after every major battle or item, conversation, anything i dont want to do over again.



i have also discovered that i crashed more as a mage, than my rogue. yet get enough templars or mages on the screen and it will crash. it seems the more bodies or graphics going about on screen, determins weather or not you are going to crash or not.

so save alot in graphic intesive places.



thats what i am doing on my second playthrough and as i have said, i have only crashed once, perhaps it is just luck
