This is really bugging me!! This freezing (happening quite often for my current creation, an elf rogue, but not once for my human warrior that I completed the game with prior to my elf...) of DA:O just makes me not want to play anymore...happens too often...also, does anyone know if there are any current patches for the ps3 version?

At least most of you have at least finished the game once, i'm stuck near the end with no way to finish the game. I will simply not keep on playing a game that freezes my system(that's € 400 standing there), unless to test a possible fix.

heh, i feel like we're being paid by bioware to stand up for them XDD. J/k Love ya Bioware! If Bioware cant fix it, sony wont even bother.


lol

You're just a kindred spirit who's as sick as I am hearing about people's threats to boycott Bioware, sell their PS3s, send back DOA games, and just generally flame the boards looking to draw as much attention to themselves because they're bored.

Seriously though if people don't have anything valid or useful to interject into this now overflooded topic, please STFU, play another game, wait like the rest of us for a fix and stop your bloody complaining. The game is unplayable right now. Big deal. We all know this. No need to keep beating it into the ground.

don;t know if it helps, but the game only crashes when i play my Mage......i got tired of reloading all the time so i started a warrior, and have played straight through until level 10 with not even a single freeze...

I doubt it has anything to do with the character you create. I have a mage and a human female rogue, and they freeze. And it has gotten worse lately!! I don't even get 5 minutes of gameplay anymore, before I was at least able to play half an hour or so. As much as I hate to do it, DA came out of my ps3 for now. It is just too frustrating!


i dunno......i am still playing the warrior, and still no freeze......but every once and a while i try the mage again.....and bam! it freezes

Played Awakening yesterday with the Auto-save off.... Worked much better, I played for 4h with only 1 freeze... Just remember to save yourself as often as you can! ( I have a rule that I´ll save when I´ve done enough, that if I had to do it again, I´d shoot myself in the head!) ,

We are, in fact, still working on the issue. Last week, we reached out to a number of people experiencing the issue to get further information to help us in resolving it. We're in touch with Sony to coordinate a resolution.

That's all I have for now. But we'll keep working on it!

This is it? No code review or other forms of troubleshooting/debugging? Nothing else at all?
 It's been almost two weeks since 3.30 (April 21). This lack of support is truly pathetic.

Am I glad that I didn't spend a dime on Awakening yet...


You do realize we're lucky to hear anything from Bioware right? They could very easily say "screw you all" and not have any contact with us what so ever until there's a fix, and even then they're not obligated to alert us, and there is no way to troubleshoot the problem they already tried that and all the half-assed temporary fixes have already been posted all over this thread (like literally everywhere click on any random page and I guarantee you'll find atleast one)

This is Sony's screw up Bioware doesn't really have to do anything (although it would be stupid of them not to) but they certainly don't have to post on the forum to reassure us they're working on it, you should just quit your damn complaining put the game down wait for the fix to come out and be happy we've recieved any information at all


i agree  :D

Someone has to keep saying its Sony's fault should be getting on thier backs till they give us a ladder :lol:

I just returned to DOA in the hopes that one might actually play as elf with proper dexterity mechanics and thus I was delighted to see that there was indeed a patch. Of course now I can't play due to DOA crashing the whole ps3 into complete lock. Great. It's a good thing that AFTER a 6month or so period you guys have actually made the game worse. That...that's some talent. I was actually thinking of buying the new DLC, but as it seems one can't play the game...why bother.

Just a note to whoever at Bioware is paying attention, altough it happened at the party camp, where is really seemed to lock up with some predictability was when running around the Circle Tower. I was basically just running around trying to grab stuff that wouldn't fit in my inventory before, conversations seemed fine but that running around locked it up every time.


I'm in the Circle right now, it froze a few times at Lothering. (Then I went through the world map to Denerim where it froze once after going to the smithy, then to Calenhad and the Circle without any crashes at all). Now in the Fade and so far it hasn't crashed on me at all during the bits of the Fade that I played so far. I am, however, saving every 4, 5 minutes at most or after any battle I might think I'll perish at the next time I have to do it ;)

Just hope by the time we get a fix, I'm not already used to playing the game freezing all the time. Steadily progressing, albeit slowly..

I really wouldn't continue to play with the freezing, do something else till the fix is here, for your consoles sake if nothing else.



Not just the potential for hdd corruption but the repeated heating and cooling of the components caused by freezes and resets could cause problems, especially in older more ylod prone consoles.

is there any sort of reason you actually found that contributed to it that can help us in the meantime?

I myself went and got the PC version, because I was so tired of the constant freezing. At one point, I got 4 freezes in a row after each reset. Such a pain in the ass.
Fallout was doing that as well. I only recently got that for the PS3, Friday I think it was. I went and got the PC version of that because every new game I made, it would freeze when you take the GOAT exam. Same spot every time, with no trophies unlocked, and more than enough space on the hdd.
DAO does it seemingly at random in every case I've had. New games just starting the Origin, in the Fade, in Ostagar, in Lothering. Freezed so much that I only got the Dalish elves part in the game before I finally just got fed up. That's about when I got the PC version from Steam on about Sunday/Saturday around there. Seems my first play through will be done on the PC.. shame really, because the PS3 version has been said to be just as good as the PC version. I thought it was anyway, graphic wise the PC is far and away better, but still the PS3 version is just as good. Stupid firmware won't let me enjoy it.
On an aside, I did experience freezing before 3.3, as I recall it would freeze in much of the same spots (randomly) as the game does in 3.3, just no where near as frequent. I have no idea what would cause it. It would do it once or twice every 5 or so hours of play time. I know it happened on all the origins I made on the PS3, but again, they weren't as bad back then. I would also experience the freezes even when disconnected from the internet, with no connection what-so-ever, but that was one time that I can even remember.
At any rate, it's just a shame that it hurts the confidence that you guys at Bioware have now with Sony. I know I wouldn't be very confident releasing content to a company that spits our shoddy firmware. Maybe that's coming off a bit strong, and probably a lot of frustration speaking that.
Here's to hoping this get's fixed. I'm a bit mad I bought both DAO and Fallout 3 and experiencing this problem, and then going out to purchase the PC versions so I can experience them like I should be on the PS3. Oh well.. hope you guys at Bioware spend my money wisely on Star Wars. Seriously, I've spent probably close to 250 dollars on you guys, but that's not a bad thing, I'm a pretty dire hard Bioware fan.

I never experienced freezes till the recent update. Even with 8 hours straight play, that was the most I did without break, but still. DAO is probably the smoothest running game i played ever. UNTILL NOW! However, i have faith that bioware and sony will fix it! I read on 2 different sites that theyre workin on it, so im sure it will be fine, dont worry:)

Saving the Game often seems to help a lot for me.
I save after just about every battle or if a lot of things happened in the game I'll save.
I played Saturday and Sunday and had maybe 4 freezes. Better then it happening every few minutes. And I try and move sort of slower and I make sure my party catches up to me. Seemed to help. I will save a lot anyways on these types of games.
But still it did freeze up on me a few times. Usually when there was a lot of action going on which sucked.


i saved after every encounter, and after collecting any loot in the werewolf ruins under the brecilian forest... it seemed to crash more often.
the more i saved the more it would crash... and the more it crashed the more i would save.

now im out of that area the game hasnt crashed once.... and maybe partly because im not having to save as often.. because the game isnt crashing.

True,it's Sony that screwed everything.Yet,bioware is the one that own the game and have to fix up everything.I know it isn't their fault,still,wanting informations and updates is our right,since we paid for this game,they don't  gave it 4 free.So please,stop with the "it's already a miracle they bother to answer you!" thing,i get enough of that on any platform/pc/game forum i go whenever there is a problem.

@ Rumtruffle: or because not being in a dungeon you get less loot so you're inventory is not full as when exploring ruins and such.

Just out of curiosity does anyone know if there are there any other games dat are freezin that we should know about? It would be handy to know what games to avoid playin untill da fix. Im worried about the way the games freezin is affecting my console. In any case it can't be good for it.

Fallout freeze and crashes a lot more since 3.30 (it had minor issue freezing,with the new patch they got much worse) But it's a lot more playable than dragon age,also because it autosave whenever you pass a door.

I agree 100%! I've been playing DAO since November, and played it through about 20 times so far. Awakening about 3 times. I NEVER had any freezes before the ps3 firmware update 3.30!!
