True but if reinstalling is a temporary fix as you say people had it freeze again after then you might as well just disable the net and wait for a proper fix as its another temporary fix with the same result

The werewolf ruins/skeleton battle by the Arcane warrior gem room froze up on me last night as I was targeting a skeleton with my bow while stealthed on my not reinstalled PS3. But playing without my internet on allowed me to play for about an 1 or 2 (I always lose track of time when I play) without any freezes.

I don't envy the developers on this one - it seems very random and can sometimes take hours to happen. Been trying hard to find a reproducible case, no luck.



It went away for a couple of days while I did the quests in Orzammar, then it came back right after Oghren joined the party and we got to the first cave in Carridin's Crossing. This is the cave on the top left of the map, with a trench in the middle, spanned by a stone bridge. The crash was happening every few minutes in this cave, and it seemed to calm down after I cleared all the mobs up to the Hurlock Alpha that stands on the arch of the bridge. Once the cave was fully cleared, I didn't see a crash again until some of the other caves.



It's going to be rough to track this down, it might be some sort of threading/IO/concurrency thing, something with how the memory pages line up, etc... who knows. A couple of times the PS3 crashed with the bluray drive stuck spinning.



Good luck. Sucks on Sony that we can't back out of patches. Never thought consoles would start to need "restore points".

So far from reading the posts people seem to be crashing around whole Ferelden lol Fade, Deep Roads, Ostagar, Mage Tower, against Archdemon, against Loghain, Denerim, Lothering

What would be the effect of formatting the HD on the PS3? Would I be able to avoid the newest patch install?

Yes but as soon as you want to access the net for anything including installing the newest Dragon Age patch you will have to install the latest PS3 firmware which is 3.30

I have been playing offline.  I just un-installed and re-installed.  We'll see what happens.....

[goalerjones]

Sony said to uninstall/reinstall too...



So would I have to forego all the DLC I paid for too if I formatted then just stayed away from online connectivity until this got fixed? I don't recall what got fixed with the last patch anyway, but I know for sure my game didn't lock up...

You will be gimping the game even more even if you wont be affected by the crashes as the DOA patch made the game much smoother than it was before plus yeah as soon as you will try to download any DLC it will require you to sign in to PSN which will automatically tell you that you cannot go any further without installing 3.30

[ChrissyTina]

You won't be out the DLC, but you will have to access the online store to re-download it onto your PS3, thus forcing you to install the new firmware.

Bah bloody game just froze as soon as I entered Tower of Ishal on this new character. Thinking of actually taking a break from the game now. I swear that switching the PS3 on and off constantly can potentially break the system

If Bioware said anything, wouldn't it be in this thread????

[Azohar]

Its really strange because I havn't done any of these "fixes" and one night it will freeze every 5 minutes and then you have a night like tonight where I play it for 4 hours straight with no freezes or hiccups or anything. Like wtf is going on here?

[Scorpgul]

Ok just to edit my post about internet now suddenly I am getting several crashes without internet sigh lol just when I thought I made it stop. At this point I've got no idea whats causing it lol only Bioware and Sony know

Its a shame because this game has quickly become one of my favorite games.  I love it.  I'm on my second playthrough with a mage (played a DW warrior last time).  I just wish I could play it without having to save every 2 seconds for fear of it locking up on me and loosing my progress.

@ChrissyTina has reinstalling made a difference? I just uninstalled everything as well and now I am downloading all the DLC. Hope this works now will post again on what happens

It is a shot in the dark but let me know if that helps Scorpgul and i'll probably do the same.

[ChrissyTina]

Lemme give it a go and see what happens....but if I remember correctly, other people have done it with minimal succes....meaning...it does eventually freeze up again.....will keep you posted......

Edit:  Firing it up now and playing offline...

im regretting buying dragon age.

[Choronzon]

Oh thank the gods... I was worried that my new PS3 was broken... this game crashes when the cat next door snores... It is being a major pain. And yet it is so cool that I am saving every minute or so just to make sure I can play. Sheesh.

It´s sad that such problem ruins the game for those who just bought DA. For those who just wanted to play it again and maybe test some new DLC´s like me, its bat but not that worse as for new gamer cuz they wasted their money until this problem is solved.

Hope Bioware can fix this problem soon
