It just amazes me that you are using the people complaining the most about the game are 360 fan boys and are trying to discredit Bioware and the PS3. You act like they have no right to complain that the issue got into the GM version of the game, and want the patch released.


My point is that it's not Sony's fault that there needs to be a patch, and it is completely ridiculous to assume that Sony is being "lazy" about releasing the patch.  That's all.

Sony is actually a very good company when it comes to consumer support and if the patch is taking a bit to get certified, you can bet there is a good reason.

Experienced my first bug last night. Landed on the Normandy crash site, collected 19 of the 20 dog tags and suddenly Shepard started walking vertically till he was stuck around 25 feet off the ground. From there I couldn't go anywhere. So I saved and reloaded, only to find myself still stuck in the air.



Only solution was to restart the mission and do it all over again. Other than that though.. no issues whatsoever.

What is the point in bothering Sony to rush the patch out?  What if they did that and it turns out it causes more problems than it fixes?  Then this thread would be blaming Sony for "not doing their job".


If that's the real situation Sony should say so.

This patch deals with memory fragmentation issues, which is something Sony has to take VERY seriously as it is a patch that works with the PS3's hardware and firmware, not simply with the game engine.  Again, this is why New Vegas was patched very quickly but not all patches are.

Additionally, every credible source (ie people who work at BioWare and professional reviewers) have noted that this problem has happened to very few people.  If you read this thread, you will notice that there are maybe two dozen total people who keep posting about it - not hundreds of unique complaints.


Has happened to very few people? What credible statistics are you basing this conclusion on? The only reason I feel the need to continue posting in this thread is when posters like yourself want to suggest that it's not actually happening to anyone.

As if this is all some fabrication for the sake of a smear attempt or something. I am thrilled to have ME2 on my Playstation, even with the bugs. But my experiencing a corrupted save is hardly some thing I've made up, it's hardly something anyone else has made up, it's hardly something that is a negligible problem as you're trying to suggest.


I personally am on my third playthrough and have had no issues, and I HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN USING THE WORKAROUND!  The only thing I do is take a break every 2-3 hours if I play that long, which you should do for ANY game you play, if only for your eyes and wrists to get a break!


If you are taking a break every two or three hours... YOU HAVE BEEN USING THE WORKAROUND

Anyone who insists on continuing to complain about this problem should probably register their copy of the game.  When I see a bunch of posts by people without a "2" under their avatar, it makes me wonder.  It is not that paranoid to think that XBox fanboys might be artificially exagerrating this problem, because fanboys do things that make far less sense.  Fanboys, in case you haven't noticed, are usually not the brightest bulbs on the internet.


I'm a PS3 owner.

I'm still a Bioware fan.

I'm open to the possibility that there is a good reason for the patch process taking so long, but if there is a good reason, it seems that Sony could make the small effort of letting us know why it is the case. Especially when they waste time on a press release that is self evident with regards to people who use pirating technology. Pirates are not owed a warning before PSN permanently banishes them. Pirates who don't know they'll be caught are stupid.
 
Pirates don't deserve the time of Sony. PS3 owners who aren't using pirating technology do deserve Sony's time.

That's fair isn't it?

Is there an over/under on whether this patch or Dragon Age 2 hits first?

It'd be nice if Sony didn't remove widely advertised features like Other OS (a major selling point for those who wanted to use the PS3 as a media center) either.

But ya this patch has become something of a joke.

Duke Nukem forever, or patch that makes ME2 PS3 playable, wagers anyone?

Oh wait Duke is coming out... crap

It occurs to me that at this rate I'll actually have begun a Dragon Age 2 playthrough before I'll have started my first ME2 PS3 playthrough.



...If you had told me that was possible way back in early January, I would have laughed in your face.

Gran Turismo received it's 6th patch yesterday - so something is going wrong somewhere. How can a major issue like this not have been rushed through as a high priority patch - it's game breaking for some people.

Surely Sony can prioritise their testing protocols, so that game breaking patch fixes go to the top of the list? Plenty of patches just add features and aren't as urgent as a game breaking fix.

Also, why is it that PAID FOR dlc gets an announced release date, yet critical patches float around in the ether until god knows when. I think it's disgraceful that we received PAID FOR costume pack 2 already (surely that needed the same Sony testing?), yet we are still in the dark about this CRITICAL patch????

Hopefully it gets released soon. It's getting quite bothersome.

I've given up on waiting, I've lent the game out to a mate and I'm currently setting up a Dragon Age save for DA2.

After almost a month... that's 100% accurate. NOT patch can take this much time
to be authorize, not from Ubisoft games, EA, NIS of AMERICA, SEGA, Rockstar or
any other company or publisher take this long.



I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my Dragon Age 2 pre-order because I
won't support a publisher that lies to their consumers the way Bioware it does
cuz it obvious their are lying... like I said when a patch log/note is online
from any of my games the patch appear top 3 days later and this my friends have
take almost 24 days, this is inexcusable.

No your point is that is is only happening to a few people with no basis to back that up since none of us know how often this is occurring. Then you go on to assume those that have not taken the time to register their copy of ME2, must be 360 fanboys in here to smear the PS3.

No where did I say it was Son'y fault that a patch was needed, but if people can play a full game of ME2 within 20 - 30 hours it should not take Sony 2 - 3 weeks to post a patch.

Also, if they intend to keep their platform strong, they better keep their games working. I'm very disappointed that a release considered to be a "blockbuster" with a memory fragmentation issue is being relatively ignored by them. Surely shows how they care about the system, right? Right now i recommended my friends to buy the xbox version and I wonder if Bioware is happy to have ported such a big project to be left out in the cold by Sony. If I had a xbox myself, i would probably trade in my ME2 copy...


This right here is what I'm talking about.  I'll bet $20 you do own a 360.

What makes you think Sony is ignoring this patch?  Are you a programmer?  I have worked in QA and programming and I can tell you right now that a problem which causes issues with MEMORY ALLOCATION and CORRUPTS HDD DATA is something that Sony has to take seriously.  BioWareEA let this slip through the cracks, not Sony.  It is not Sony's job to beta test third-party games.


Pfff you lose your bet. I'm the biggest "ps3 fanboy" amongst my friends, I really don't own a 360... But I'm quite pissed at Sony because Bioware already sent them the patch and they haven't put it online for almost a month.

Nobody knows if the patch was really delivered to Sony almost a month ago. My guess is that Sony received it 9 days ago give or take 2 days, when Chris posted that the patch is with Sony now.

Still becomes ridiculous if it wont get released within the next few days.

Or something's absolutely wrong with the patch and it needed the guys from Sony to find that out (which I really really doubt).

Bioware's absense in that threat is annoying. Look how many mods they have!



Anyway I feal a bit stupid I bought the game day one, i could have bought it at the first price drop, assuming the patch will see the light of our world even by then.



If it wasnt for Mass Effect 2 I would have returned it!

I've left this thread and the "Freezing" thread for nearly a month and prazision is still spewing the same nonsense he was then. Do everyone a favor and don't feed the troll, no matter how subtle he may be.

Quit your whining people. You're lucky you're even getting a patch in the first place. A patch is a courtesy from the developers, they're not obliged to do anything further.
