brand new PS3 slim 160gb hd..updated firmware.
Honestly..does that really matter at this point. There's a few things I'm noticing after reading all 22 pages of this--insanely frustrating--problem:
1. It occurs on all consoles new, old, small HD or large HD.
2. It occurs at any point in the game.
3. It can occur in combat, when looting, zoning, conversations..in short..there's absolutely no rhyme or reason.
4. Once it starts freezing..it doesn't seem to stop.
I feel like the only thing this COULD be is corrupted saves. What else could cause a game to work perfectly until it freezes once, and then proceed to freeze continually almost every time. I'd wage more on this based on how many people claim deleting all saves and starting over worked for them(but honestly, I do not wish to start over). It started freezing for me at the dwarf expedition to deep roads, but I have roughly 15 hours played due to all the side quests I've done. So far..it worked perfectly until I began the dwarf expedition. After that, it now repeats the same pattern every time I play it:
1. Load times begin to increase substantially with each screen.
2. Actions in game began to load as well. Looting can take 1s of load time.
3. Then it freezes within 5-10 minutes of further play.
I truly hope something is announced soon..at this point I refuse to continue to try playing because I DO fear for my PS3. I can not afford another one, and I do not want to risk its life by constantly performing hard shut downs.
I'd expect bioware to be working diligently on this, though..as much as I adore the company(all their games are my favorite rpgs) the further this goes the more at risk they put themselves for a relatively hefty class action lawsuit, I'd imagine. I, along with many others, are already frustrated at paying $60 for a new copy that they can no longer play, but god forbid what happens when a substantial amount of people lose their PS3s due to shut downs proceeding the freezes as some most certainly already have.
I agree with everything that ikarimalice wrote. I have been watching this thread since Wednesday the 9th and hoping that Bioware would find a fix quickly and I would be able to continue playing the game. So far all I've received from this thread is more frustration that on day 11 there's no word or update or even just someone from Bioware popping in every day or so to update us on what they are doing to fix this.
I have not been able to play DA:II since the morning of March 9th. I feel like I pre-ordered and paid for a $60 dollar signature edition paperweight. I don't even want to attempt to play it anymore until this situation is resolved because if I did play and this awful glitch caused my PS3 to break then Bioware would have an entirely different problem on their hands.
This is becoming more and more troubling every day and the lack of acknowledgement from Bioware is especially worrisome. Isn't there some sort of news source (kotaku, ign or gamespot maybe) that we could contact? Perhaps if word gets out about this freezing issue to a larger audience then maybe we'd see some progress.
