I've got the same problem with my PS3 80GB. Dragon Age never crashed before, but after installing the firmware update ist crashes almost every time I play it.

But it never crashes at the same time or location. After reading through the comments of the other users I have to say that with me it's not that worse. I normally still am able to play it, sometimes for hours without crashing.

i dont play DAO for a while.... i will wait for a patch or something else.

But the main question is: Are they working on it?

[Ornithophobe]

You would assume so, but there doesn't seem to be much communication going on.



If they are soliciting people for information on when it crashes thats good as it means they are working on it but it's also bad because it means they haven't tracked down what it was.



If they have now done this I guess it's a matter of fixing it and pushing through an update, I'm sure (hope) Bioware will be in touch when they have some idea of the timescale involved.



In the meantime I need something else to play over my long weekend.

I can still play my game, I just keep saving a lot more then usual. i played 2 hours yesterday without a freeze! Amazing! My PS3 is connected wireless, and even signing out (going offline) did not stop it from freezing before, so I just leave it online.

As for disabling the internert connection...

I can play for ever w/o freezes if I did not connect to PSN(auto connect=off) at startup, but if I start my PS3 and connect to PSN once(e.g. to sync my trophies), disconnecting right after that I get freezes.
Now I'm not sure how the new control-system from sony works. But you may very well need to just connect once to PSN and they keep the control connection open for as long as your PS3 is online(physically).

Surely if that's a problem it's not the only one. But since the freezes are solved for many people when playing disconnected it clearly is one of the problems.

So you're saying if i stay signed off of PSN I can play DA without it freezing at all?

[Lillymon]

Well, I am from Germany and encountered the problem first on my "old" fat PS3. That one broke, so I went ahead and bought a new slim with 250gb. Unfortunately no DA data was transferred to my new system so I had to start from scratch. Which means I had no "old" save files or anything, and the game still freezes occasionally! I am saving a lot lately because it is upsetting getting the freeze after having input a lot of work and fights;) I have a WLAN connection on my PS3, and signing off the internet did not stop the game from freezing either.

lol you bought a brand new ps3 because a single game didn't work?

[Lillymon]

@Loltoids: I guess I did... My nephew was happy to get a PS3 now though since the other one was still working fine:))

[Halexvid]

mine just started freezing as well. I haven't played in about 2 weeks and just came back to it last night.

Froze 4 times, even while not connected to the PSN.



Frustrated with this game. I can't download the items earned through the EA2D flash game, and can't download the 2 free items that came with a promo card in the game box.



Been working the issues with support since 7 April with no luck yet!



Hope they work all these issues out, I enjoy the game and just want to play the damn thing.

Hey guys I may have found a solution for some people to try. Basically if ur using a HD t.v try adjusting the settings for full spectrum and turn PS smoothing and the upscale thing off. Also if your ps3 automatically attempts to sign in to the network turn that off as well . Finally pull the ethernet cable out of your ps3. In doing this I have not had a problem with freezing, I think i went for 4 hours or so....seems like a reasonable game session length no?

Yeah pretty much all of us have tried those 'fixes' but eventually it will freeze. None of our troubleshooting seems to be working. We'll have to wait for Bioware to contact us with a permanent solution.

Probably not I tried the exact same thing when I first encountered the problem and there was absolutely no change at all, but it seems to work for some people so I guess it's worth a try

[MEBengal2008]

Region: USA
Games and DLC: DAO, DAO Awakening, Shale, Stone Prisoner, Return to Ostagar, and a few items DLCs
PS3 Systems: 60GB 1st release model and 120GB Slim model

Tested Areas: DAO - Fade, Mage Tower, Denerim, Ostagar, DLC contents, DAO Awakening (various areas), etc...

Both systems freeze regardless of the area, the character or the DAO game being played.

What I have noticed is that after the game freezes the first time it is freezes quicker the second time. If I power down the system and restart I'm good for about an hour and than have to power down again or the game will freeze within 15 minutes.

The update has not impacted my other 30+ PS3 games but those games are boring when you have a game like DAO to occupy your free time.

I believe a patch is required from Bioware and if they do patch the game fix the Dagger BUG please. It is annoying knowing that a dex based rogue stinks even though most of the better talents in DAO Awakening are DEX based.

i just started playing this again as well and met with the annoying game freezes. i might of had ONE freeze before the firmware update, now it freezes with 15 minutes of starting the game. grrrr!

[Ornithophobe]

On the plus side I've now played all the way through the flash game.

[jaqe]

I'm downloading this stupid update right now, it's my last attempt to fix this



I removed disk and restored default settings.



We shall see

[LeHeup80]

I tried playing it this morning and on the FINAL part (DONT WORRY NO SPOILERS AS I HAVENT COMPLETED It YET!!!!!!!) And literally whenever I choose the whole party it freezes, when I turn around to go up the stairs to the keep it freezes, when I am in an area with too many bots it freezes, in total (before I got anoyed enough just to stop bothering) its frozen 5 times in succession. I have a question, if you do a full format to your ps3 does it reset to OS back to its original release, like re-installing windows etc. This would be an answer I would really appreciate an answer to, many thanks in advance!

[brammers_01]

@LeHeup80 Yeah I'm pretty sure it does. Which means you'll lose your game saves. Not a wise thing to do if you're that close to finishing the game...

[skoota360]

They are most definitely working on it. However, there are some of us that simply can't wait to play the game. It looks like we have found numerous ways to limit the freezing so that we can get at least an hour or two of the game without crashing.



To limit the game freezing, I would do the following: Disable Internet connection and/or unplug ethernet cable (if applicable), turn off auto-save, make numerous saves throughout the game, lower output resolution if using an HDTV ,and finally, turn off the ps smoother and upscaler (even though that probably has nothing to do anything with anything).



For some people (like me), these changes will give you 4-5 hours straight of game-play, and others, this may only give you an hour. And yes, this may not work at all for others, but, I have not had a freeze in over 3 days and a total of 17 hours of playing dragon age, so it's worth a try.



Or if you are not addicted to the game, just check this forum often, especially when Monday comes around!

I'm envious of your 17 hours of playing, DAMN (;

[deuce6000]

Starting to get aggravated with these people not getting the fix faster. I'm not a patient type of guy. Get to work people we payed to play!

[mlangford]

Region = North America

PS3 Slim

Occurs in both origins and awakenings. Awakenings and all other add-ons purchased as a dowload from the ps3 store.

Playing logged in to the psn network.

Playing on highest resolution

Freeze always occurs shortly after (within 1 min of) combat ending. Usually presents when looting corpse. Sometimes presents when walking away from combat area or opening a door. It seems to occur more frequently just after a save, but I'm not sure if that is just because I'm saving more often because of the issue. Recover by ejecting the disk, allowing the ps3 to reboot. Usually get an hour between freezes.

[FrakMyLife]

Just like to add my voice to the chorus. DAO is basically unplayable since upgrading to 3.30.

Well, it doesn't work for me!  I created a new mage today and the game freezes every 5 minutes now on my way to Irving. And yes, we payed to play the game, and we enjoy playing it so Bioware or Sony should finally come out with a fix!!
