Let us mark the 1 week (and change) anniversary of the Day Sony Took Dragon Age Away!



Maybe we can fling our now unusable DAO discs in the air like at graduation?

Just spend the last couple of hours testing multiple games.



Uncharted 1: No problems

Uncharted 2: System crashed when attempting to download the 1.7 patch. The patch installed fine the second time and i played single player for an hour without problems. Multiplayer on the other hand took at least 10 minutes before i could connect.

Final Fantasy 13: No problems. I've heard a lot of people had problems with their saved games not loading. I did not have this problem

Darksiders: No problems

SF4: I was missing a lot of trophies for some odd reason. I was suddenly getting trophies, i'm positive i had earlier.



I'm kinda glad i didn't find any other freezing problems(at least my bluray is fine). The only problems i did have again seemed to have something to do with network connectivity, They made quite a few changes to trophies in the patch. I'm starting to wonder if that part of the update is responsible for messing things up.



Any updates on a possible fix would be welcome...

At least Bioware is working to repair something they had no hand in creating. It will probably come down to Sony releaseing a new update patch.

Hi All, I was contacted by Bioware Staff and I have answered a series of questions - I thought I'd share with you all, the ADDITIONAL points I made:

WORTH MENTIONING:

Whenever a ‘Freeze’ happens, the Music/Sound effects continue in the background.
I have noticed, after listening intently, that music/sound effects appears to be looped.
The only instance of sounds not continuing during the ‘Freeze’, was when Jowan was talking to my character and the game ‘Froze’. Jowan actually finished a sentence, without moving his lips, then I realised that the game had ‘Frozen’

I have noticed that if I load an AutoSave and play, the game will ‘Freeze’ within about 15 minutes of play.
If, however, I load a Manual Save and play, I can play for up to an hour. This is only if I make regular Manual Saves at points like:
1. Before entering a new area
2. After entering the new area
3. After an eventful dialogue where an Important plot point has unfolded.
4. After making a change to a character or ‘tweaking’ abilities, or talents.

Also of importance; it would appear that waiting until the ‘Saving Game Data’ image that appears on screen, has completely disappeared, before moving the character or doing anything like accessing the map or inventory, or accessing the Spells/abilities ‘Radial Menu’ – can help to reduce the frequency of the ‘Freezes’.

@RoboNemesis Nice and detailed, awesome. Quite a few of us got that email I think.

If anyone else out there has been contacted by Bioware, if they could be as detailed as possible in their reply, just like RoboNemesis, then hopefully Bioware can fix this and we can all go back to playing Dragon Age properly.

As some of you know, I played off and on all day yesterday without any freezes. Once I settled down and played a solid hours, it finally froze. I did make sure to manually save after every conversation, interaction and battle. When it froze, I was in the Brecilian forest walking around the campfire. If I remember correctly, I had gone about 20 minutes without a save before that point. Not sure if it has anything to do with anything.....

Just wanted to keep you posted as to what I encountered yesterday.

Edit:  Just noticed missing the number of hours i played....   3.5.

HAHAHA!  I thought the same thing!  I constantly had one eyebrow raised.  I'm surprised it didn't stay that way!

When I field tested with a new profile (with no trophies) a few days ago and played with no DLC, I was amazed at how smooth the frame rate and animation was. Unfortunately it too crashed...

Hello, it's me again.
I was testing other games as well, DA:O is on the bookshelf till it's fixed - not going to reset ps3 anymore, I did it too many times already.

FFXIII - played for a few hours, 0 problems - everything works just fine, saves as well
Uncharted 2 - works just fine
Resident Evil 5 - same as above

Bayonetta is working as well.

Yeez, I want to play DA:O ;(

Freezes for me as well on PS3 slim 120MB. It has done this about five times in two hours by now, completely ruining the game play (obviously). The freeze seems to occur pretty much randomly, sometimes while just exploring and sometimes in battles. Music keeps playing after it freezes. It reminds me of the bug in Fallout 3 which had the same symptoms as well (although not happening this often).

Btw, the controller is completely unresponsive. Pressing/holding the PS-button does nothing. The only way to get out of it is to press the power button on the console.

Adding: The problems started today. I added 3.30 update several days ago and have had no problems at all. Maybe this is related to the current area (I'm i "Lower ruins" in the Warewolf dungeon)?

Yeah I reckon you might be onto something. Only thing is not everyone gets freezes at the same time or every 6 hours like you do.

True but im offline i've been up at night thinking about how this might be possible. I think hardware and software is coming into play here. My brother has the same type of ps3 i do we can both play for 6hours but from the info i've gathered here slims and and first gen fats freeze even when signed out. I think the slims and the fats try to contact the bioware servers or check if they can upload data more then the secound gen ps3s. But its just a theory my guess is as good as any at this point.

Thought The Issue Was Limited to Just Awakening, but was doing a 8th playthrough on Original Origins and just as I am about to fight In Tower Of Ishal top floor Game locked up can hear music and all, but no response to any commands none of the PS3 buttons work not even the home key to quit game. I know it has issues since newest patch with Awakenings but until last play on 4/27 not had freeze/lock up issues for original game. I do not know if there is anything else to add as it will now happen any where any time fighting opening radial menu,casting a heal, and basically anything at all randomly does it even standing idle doing nothing at all now crashes it. The only way to restart game is eject Disc and wait for system to figure out the game disc is not in drive anymore.

Second floor is where mine has been freezing on saves, not always though, seems to happen a certain amount of time after entering the level.

I went through the mage tower yesturday and only frooze once then was good for 6hours. Its all random my theory still stands as the most solid reason why its bugging atleast imo it does.

About recreating the crash. Isn't it common to freeze during pause menu? I mean, press "start" and after several minutes in the pause menu the game will surely freeze, no?

I've actually frozen more using the radial menu and/or in the inventory.

I only was able to force it to freeze once when i was fighting connors demon with morrigan.

Called inferno casted fireball casted winters grasp casted drain life in a sequence of about 30secounds. But even then i almost had played for 6hours. Its all been completely random.

I've frozen casting spells, Walking around, fighting, ect its all random to me no pattern and i've never frozen in the middle of a cutscene or an talk sequence.
