This freeze is effecting Bioware as much as the gameplayers. Its equal to a boycotte so they will hopefully fix it sooner or in about 2 years time at this rate...

I can't believe someone thinks otherwise just because some people didn't experience freezes! 
They probably don't own DA:O to start with so they're not freezing.
 

I can assure you that I talked to my (German) friends here which are playing Dragon Age on the ps3. And there are 5 (all) of them, plus me, and we are all encountering the freeze problem ever since the firmware update! And I am very upset myself because this makes you think that they don't even take this seriously.

Another thing that really surprises me is that neither Sony nor the Dragon Age page on Facebook has posted anything about this problem. I put the question on the board there, but not even users replied to it.

[brammers_01]

I wouldn't get too worked up over that Sony forum post guys. Thats just one guy being extremely ignorant. At least it wasn't the Sony Head of Quality Assurance saying those things.

Also those people that have only just bought the game, don't sell you PS3 (or DA for that matter) just because one game is temporarily broken. Thats just silly. I'm sorry, but it is. This will eventually get fixed. Before the update, the game ran fine with virtually no issues. You guys have just been extremely unlucky that the one time the game breaks, its just after you've bought it. I feel for you guys, I really do but you just have to wait for a fix.

Placing the blame on people, saying you're going to sell your Playstation (or throw it out the window) and re-gurgtating information thats been posted numerous times before is not going to help solve this. We all just have to be patient. The weekend is almost over which means Bioware and/or Sony are going to be hard at work trying to fix this for us soon enough.

[jaqe]

Yes I am very upset too, I replied to him in the topic you posted. It's not our fault that we are experiencing freezes. Everything else runs perfectly for me.



Well, there's is not other option for Bioware, they need to fix this - they can't leave their game not working LOL.

That's like the most worthless(yet quite well written) crap I've read for quite some time.
Sure it's a pure coincidence that a lot of PS3s(definately way more than the peeps that actually post here or on any forum) suddenly start freezing on some games right after the 3.3 firmaware update.

That would mean a lot of coincidence...not only the sheer number of consoles that were affected at the same time but only for some games.

Well you gotta love how those "brilliant" minds try to help...I for one don't want that kind of help.

You know there are some people that might actually believe what he wrote. I'm not saying that no PS3 coincedently died right after the firmware update, sure that might happen for a few, but than those consoles wouldn't play any games at all anymore.

I bet that guy has no clue about anything inside the PS3 nor about software engineering at all.

[TheDarkHuntress]

That's it for me. All the tips and suggestions in this thread just don't work for me. It's hard to get into the game when you don't know when it will suddently freeze. No more Dragon Age until they get a fix.
Turning the console off and on while trying to play this game can not be good and I can no longer do it. Here's hoping a fix is found soon.

Its a regular occurance that people who are not experiencing a problem that many other people are experiencing go out of their way to research and look for reasons why it would be our fault that our ps3's are freezing.

These are people who like to stir up trouble otherwise known as "trolls' on forums. 

Although I never understood why people who are not experienceing these problems don't want the people who are having them to get help on the problem.  It just doesn't make sense, but the funny part is that these same people who make these posts telling everyone that "if your system is messed up its your fault"  would be yelling louder than we are begging for a fix.

Its funny how the world works....

[jaqe]

^ I agree completely with DeKalle and Azohar



It's a well written trolling that's why I couldn't yell at him LOL

[brammers_01]

The reason he's trolling is to get a reaction. Don't give him the satisfaction.

[djshoom]

Ive been playing all weekend without freezing. All I did was disable internet under system settings. I plan to play this way till a patch is released.



Been playing in 2-4 hour stints if that means anything.

I'm with you on that, and is it just me or is this thread going in circles?

[Blk_Mage_Ctype]

The thread is indeed going in circles...



We've tried every possible workaround, nobody is getting consistent results, and no matter what it freezes eventually.



So lets just give it a rest and wait until Bioware/Sony patches it.

I sneezed on my PS3 once. Perhaps that is why it doesn't work. It's all my fault!!

That's why they removed the card reader, to put the sneeze sensor in.

[roguefan66]

This was odd... I was in Orzammar somewhere in a "public" place in the commons. I had to leave the game for about 30 minutes so I just left the game alone (was not paused in any way). When I came back the game was frozen. Gear and settings: 80GB PS3, internet disabled, HDMI.



Come on, Bioware & Sony...

[tom2504]

Hmm, I've been playing 9 hours straight without a freeze...



Seems for me that disabling myself from the internet via network options fixed the problem. Strange! (Also how the hell do you kill Flemeth)

[TimeLordCat]

Logic exercise
Update applied = No
Dragon Age installed = Yes
DA Problems = None ( on my PS3 )
Problems with other games = No

Update applied = Yes
Dragon Age installed = Yes
DA Problems = Yes
Problems with other games = No

Lets see there are PS3s out there with no problems that did not put the update on and don't have DAO.
They are excluded.

There are PS3 that did not update but have DAO and some have problems and some do not.

Now there are the PS3 that did update and now DAO is effectively unplayable.

If anyone has upgraded to v3.30 and has not had any problems with DAO  / FF13 saves / or any game please post.  (If you have to stay offline you count as having problems.)

The only reason Bioware is looking into this is that they have retail machines in their offices and they froze.

Only when a Sony exec with a retail PS3 in their home freezes will Sony own up and this is a low probability.
It will take some time for the EA/Bioware team to get information from Sony about the update to verify that the changes made caused the grief.

[KaBloom-UK]

sent a e-mail to sony telling them about it (i know thousands of others have done the same but ya gotta keep moaning peeps, e-mail sony instead of posting the same thing over and over here). told them it wasnt faulty hardware, the game was new, took my ps3 back becouse i thought it was faulty and had another. Then the 1st thing i did was install 3.3 so it cant be the pre 3.3 save file issue. people are reporting problems with MW2 and a number of blueray movies dont work now either!!!



lol, ill let you know if i get a nice reply denying theres any issues with 3.3 as everyone else seems to have had 1.

[Colesslawz]

If this goes on, we may need to do a mass complaint... (Everyone email, phone, any kind of complaint... Or old fasion way write a letter)

[HippeusOmega]

I hope we get some good news by tomorrow or tuesday. Its kinda bad when DA:O is the only game really in my PS3 collection atm that i like.

I know what you mean. My PS3 might as well have been called that Dragon Age machine because that is pretty much all I play on it( well that and Demon's Souls)

Now this is weird, my games have been freezing up nearly every five minutes since the firmware update. However today while I was playing the game actually crashed, all I got was a black screen and the PS3 was locked up. When I restarted the game later it hasn't crashed since. I played for nearly three hours without the game freezing once, just some minor slowdown. Very odd.

[OrlesianWardenCommander]

Lol since 3.30 i actually went back to Mw2 for awhile just cause i hate the crashing but im on the final battle in denerim i made a warrior 2hander after i heard about this problem and hes almost finished. Just a little bit more to go and i've beat it. Then ill play awakening on him see if the 6hour thing applies to that aswell. Since the update i've played demon souls mw2. No problems and none of my friends have mentioned problems if there are any on MW2 i wouldn't hear of them cause online is still flawless. I got the platinum for mw2 so im not even thinking of testing it. Im almost positive that DAO is the only game effected. 

    I've played offline for the whole time i was building my warrior. I think its all random theres no patterns i've seen witch leads me to believe  the bioware servers are the problem.  I think online your playstations tries to contact the bioware servers to send information from your journeys in ferelden to the servers here at this website. Then your playstations when your signed out try to check if it can transfer data to this website. Why do different ps3s freeze at different times? This is a question i have been pondering on and i think although your signed out you still have internet connection. I know this cause i re-downloaded awakening offline.  But if you have a internet connection thats not very fast highspeed internet or not  this does not mean its going to run fast. Thats why people still signed out freeze either more or less depending on the internets speed but signed in to psn it trys to transfer data every 30minutes or so. Its not the model of the ps3 does not make the difference. Thats my theory once agian with a few new ideas think of it what you will. I stand behind it theres no other reason for why its freezing every six hours or every 30mins online.

[Diablo7]

Yeah it is... Probably some conflicting coding in the latest patch and the latest firmware

[ElfKeeper]

I fished Awakening without any crashes but I didn't play for more then 2hrs at a time. I wanted to start another run through of DAO but with all the problems I started ACII instead. Doesn't seem that anyting anyone has come up with works for any amount of time so I guess all we can do is wait till Sony fixes their mess. The best thing that can happen is it effects alot of people and they all complain so they are forced to do something and hopefully quickly. Lets hope there is some news tomorrow or early in the week.
