Hey guys, I have a sure-fire way to GUARANTEE your PS3 Dragon Age won't freeze every hour...



.... DON'T install Sony Firmware Update 3.30.



I haven't and DA has been playing EXACTLY as it did before. I will be offline until a fix is available, small price to pay, but if you haven't downloaded the new firmware and want to play your Dragon Age just wait.



Sheesh, I kinda feel like I am the only one who still can enjoy this game!

whats the point of this post

[ChrissyTina]

@brammers:  No, I haven't heard anything else from BioWare since that email went out. 

[vonFurious]

My point was to let anyone know that if they don't update to 3.30, they won't have the problem with the game freezing.



What's the point of playing a game that crashes on a regular basis and re-booting (and possibly corrupting data) again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again?



I would suggest either avoiding the update, or find something else to play while it gets a fix. Its clear there is a problem, and re-booting your system incessantly from the freeze can't be good for your machine.



What do you suggest, Scorpgul?

Its a joke! If you sold tvs that worked for a week and then just started turning off on their own, youd expect a full refund! I switched from 360 to ps3 after i found out that 360s where built by todlers who where using melted chocolate on the heat sync. First impressions.......******* AWESOME!!! Bad Company 2, uncharted 1&2........And of course, being a huge bioware fan and having loved it on 360...... i brought dragon age........not only that but i also recomended it to another PS3 owner!



So thank you Sony/EA/BIOWARE, for not only making me look a ***, but for putting a glitch ridden, half finished beta(this happend with mass effect too & KOTOR although nowhere NEAR this bad) on the shelves at FULL RRP!!!! Also for royaly shafting the gaming public by making them PAY for DLC thats meant to fix it! Gaming geniuses to con men in 1 deft move, nicely done.....RIP the bioware we used to know and love.lol

@brammers_01: No we do not,

Wtf, btw its not Biowares fault that our games keep freezing.  Its the boneheads at Sony, or is it Sony...  Im thinking its a conspiricy, its Microscoft trying to make it a Exclusive like they did with Mass Effect.  Its treason i say!!!!

[Fei Wong]

I buyed it a week ago and now i cant play by Sony's Fault, i even thought that was my game's disc or console...this generation is full of cheap machines and idiot engineers

[HippeusOmega]

I always call my Playstation systems PoS Mark w/e system they are. So my PS3 I call a P.o.S Mark III

Edit: Yes i am a sony fanboy but even i know Sony's faults

No.  It's not BW fault.  But BW is the only one that seems to be trying to fix it.  Sony has completely denied that there is any problem at all.

What holiday do you guys have on Monday, brammers?

[Grimling]

So um yea, I just bought DA:O, came home, popped the disc in and it said I needed to update to 3.3 so naturally I did. Started playing and everytime i try to level up to lvl 2 I freeze up. Did some googling and found this site...Was already upset the codes in the box did not work for Shale or the Blood Dragon Armor, but then to not even be able to play the game? And the retailer (Game Crazy) won't refund it b/c it's been opened. So i'm stuck with a $50 loss.



Not reading through 30+ pages of backstory here, but my impression is the firmware bugged DA and there "might" be a patch to fix it but bioware is charging for it? Anyone care to sum up the pertient info to what's going on here?

[ChrissyTina]

as far as we know, BW isn't charging anything. There have been issues about the redeem codes not working, but check some of the other threads regarding that. BW is currently working on trying to fix the firmware issue. The crashes seem to be completely random for the most part.



Don't let this be the thing to turn you off to the game. It's and EPICALLY awesome story and game and you'll find yourself getting attached to the characters rather quickly.



Keep an eye here on this thread to keep updated.

[Grimling]

I understand what you're saying Chrissy but how can I not be turned off on this game when I've played it all of ten minutes and can't seem to progress any further? Hit level up, spend 3 attribute points, learn one spell, and hit X to accept and.............freeze



I've reset my ps3 5x now and can't get past this point. Playstation is less than two months old and I just beat Darksiders with no issue, play modernwarfare 2 and uncharted 2 with no issues....continuing to play this game seems a bit futile in comparison.

I've had it freeze at least twice that I currently remember since updating my firmware also at random moments, most recently just a few minutes ago. Can't say it didn't happen before because it has but it seems to be happening more frequently since before it was like once or twice over the course of 50 hours but in the last two or so hours of game time, it's done it twice. >_< As for details, I didn't take note of exactly what was happening but once was while getting ready to leave camp and selecting my party, selected two characters and Leilana for my last member and it froze right after. Current one was right after solving the bridge puzzle in the gauntlet and taking my character through the walkway, Got right to it and everything stopped.

EDIT: Just had it happen again after not doing it so previously (died and had to reload), finished the bridge puzzle though I left Morrigan on one of the plates as I ran through the entry way, Alistair was making a the comment about cunning being favored as I went through and once again it froze.

I've had it do it out of the blue also before 3.30 but never this badly.


Edit: I just had it deadlock the system during a save. I thought i was going to have a ****ing stroke when i saw that. Thank god my files didn't get curropted.

lmao, I can see myself in the future doing that xD
Anyways, the only time your save files can be corrupted is when the orange light is blinking semi-evenly. Not crazy like insanely fast morse code

Actually, I've rebooted my PS3 at least 2 dozen times. No problems really except it keeps freezing, although much less so ever since I began saving every 5 steps. It seems to only happen to me when I am in a big battle where lots, and I mean LOTS of different talents and spells are being used. Either way, it seems saving regularly reduces the amount of freezes or at least detracts from the data loss if you don't have a backup file

[Grimling]

vonFurious, I did not get a choice about 3.30 really. I put DA in the ps3 and it said something alone the lines of, "to play this a software update is requierd" so i updated...



Is tehre anyway to uninstall 3.30 and go to a previous version?

[Daryn Mercio]

also, if there is anyway to reverse the 3.30, let us know. I think it was made so awakening could be played, but since Im not playing that right now, I can disable it if possible

[ChrissyTina]

There's no "disabling" the firmware update. It was launched in preparation for their 3D stuff coming this summer.



Since you already have the game installed, you should be able to reset the system to factory settings and KEEP IT OFFLINE.

So is that going to stop or at least minimise the freezing and crashing?
