Well thats interesting
Weregamer- i think your idea worked,
First time i tried it happens as i said, loss of textures (shale just stood there not talking) when not logged in.
Restarted game did manual login (not ticking 'always logged in') got into game had the items told game to logout, all items kept.
I have now tried playing content without logging in at all, and it worked...... Soldiers peak still completed, textures still there, shale talkative etc.
Made a save while logged off, restarted game loaded up that save - shale worked, items worked, went to camp all was good, went to soldiers peak quest still completed post-quest content working.

Everyone, try logging off, and staying logged off. I doubt it will fix broken saves but it MIGHT (assuming authentication servers are problem) stop the issue occurring in future.


EDIT- Will let you know if issue reoccurs, (normally happens after multiple hours of gaming so i'll let you know

I lost Shale completely. When in the party camp, there is an 'X" on my minimap showing where he should be, but he isn't there. If I leave camp, he is no longer available to join my party. Quest shows completed, and he is not back in the spot where you first find him.

Same problem here, I just hope that they will find a workaround that will let us use saves that are already corrupted. There is no way that I will do Heaven dungeon crawl again, my feelings about that place are about the same as Shales affection to birds.



BTW, this is some nasty stuff, considering how "optional DLC" Shale really is. That is no way to treat a lady, I demand epic crunch mode from Bioware until we have our talkative golem back



I miss the good old times when I didn't have to worry about game expansions working due to authentication errors...

@Raiithe

just to confirm, ur method doesnt work for broken saves =(

[koshiee]

Exact same problem here. Hopefully they come up w/ a fix for this soon.

[omg give me a user name]

hope this gets fixed soon, im waiting for a patch

[Shilarva]

Check Penny-Arcade.com, even they've brought up the issue.

[zaltanek]

I am having the same issue

[Tshaka]

I have these issues aswell as people have mentioned in this thread.

[Krobon]

I personally believe it might be a conflict with wardens keep, it worked perfect on the latter patch when I didn't have wardens keep installed, but once I downloaded and installed that, I couldn't talk to shale anymore.

[Stalewee]

nothing to do with the patch. I haven't patched

[Dangqi]

nah, it happened for me way before i got warden's keep...

[Halfwar]

Honestly though this is why having DLC check every-time to see if it is valid is ridiculous, right now I'll be honest I'm a little "jarated" with the whole situation. I love Bioware's games, but cmon this is just a slap in the face to the gamer. This entire problem was based on fact they added in DRM into something that didn't need it. Now I'm stuck with all the equipment that was in my chest gone, shale gone, and my warrior's head is cold =(. Granted I got my helmet back but shale is no where to be found. Great game Bioware, but any more DLC that comes out just isn't worth the hassle if its going to screw up because my internet sneezed or your server sneezed.

reinstall will not work unless you have a save prior to the problem.

I also don't have Warden's Keep so its not an issue with the DLCs bugging each other.

I subscribe to the theory that its the blasted online portion of this that is corrupting our savegames....FIX please, it should not be nessecary to be online while playing a single-player game because you want a form of DRM.....annoying.

I think its not the Wardens Keep.
i didnt bought it yet...when this dude came ( forgot his name) with his interesting dialog and then... "buy dlc" i ran away... and was able to talk.


I think its a random thing, it happens after several hours.

Reminds on Oblivion, when the savegame was crashed after several hour.


Anyways, Dragon Age is Awesome.

[Krobon]

Hmm well, like I said it was my personal experience, but I hope they fix it soon, I haven't been able to experience the storyline of the new companion at all because of this.

I've actually managed to solve this issue without reloading a save. For me I would be running under the map and be placed far away and under the map. So basically I just ran towards the map and when i got the map I would run towards an area transition and click on it. Everything goes back to normal for me when I do this.

Are you sure everything got back to normal?

When I "teleport" from the camp I can by a few tricks get back in there, but Shale is still bugged and I'll get teleported away if I try to talk to him again.

If I bring shale with me and talk to him elsewhere(at least at the locations I've tried) shale will turn into a statue and the areas textures will go black.

Either you're very lucky or you haven't fixed anything.

[Katalyze87]

Well everytime i talk to shale i get the bug, so i just don't talk to shale, but everything else is fine. I don't really ever need to talk to shale.

Yeah but at the moment there's no solution until Bioware starts doing their job.

[searanox]

I can confirm the problem isn't related to Warden's Keep, since I don't have it, but it might be related to losing the connection to the servers. In my experience the whole online component of this game has been a nightmare from day one.

[Tshaka]

Anyone have a solution to this problem? I will use Shale alot in my next playtrough and dont wanna risk getting the game Fu*ed up after 40 hours of gameplay.

[hellfrog]

Does this glitch also restrict Shale from gaining or losing influence via choices (as opposed to gifts)? I ask because I just completed Orzammar and at the final choice, Shale stated that he liked my decision, but after the conversation ended, only the other two party members had a change in their influence. However perhaps he wasn't supposed to be affected, although that seems counter-intuitive.
