Would like to thank Bioware for making my decision easy. Going  to uninstall Dragon Age and not get Mass Effect 2 and any other Bioware items. Company is worse with its community then Ifinty Ware and they just destroyed the PC FPS community. Made several topics any have recieved 0 comments or replies. This game is more buggier then a newly released MMO

I think your computer is just retarded... You have way too many problems. I've had only one.

You have like 6 threads with issues

[lbskier]

It is? I don't see many others with issues...Also, it's not an FPS.

[Titius.Vibius]

Its an FPS? Really?

Oh and careful on the step - you might hit your head on the door frame.

The best thing about the OP's post... I love a good fit!!!



WHAAAAAAAAA



You know, I get tired of people with their welfare PC's trying to play a new game. Just get it on a console, if you can't get it to play on your computer.



And if you DO have a new computer... just wait for a patch. Do you have any idea how hard it is to write software for EVERY possibly combination out there....



So ranting = pointless.

This game is more buggier

I wish you to buy any Bethesda product. And play without patches. Especially dagbuggerfall.
Then compare to Dragon Age any Bioware product.

My computer is able to run the game maxed out and it runs pretty smooth. I spent 55 hrs playing the game I'm at the Landsmeeting part of the game and when I open the doors there is no cut scene. I cant exit out of the room and I dont have any previous saves to it. I tried talking to all the people in the room and closing the doors and so on. I'm not going to start the whole damn game again, not with 55hrs gone to waste.

[Wrekt]

Soo... you've made several topics (according to your profile 3 including this one) describing a whole of two bugs and that makes this worse than a newly released MMO?

That you didn't get a BioWare reply after 3 hours makes them worse than whatever other company that is?



Geez, people these days...

Good luck out there and don't let the door hit you on the way out I guess.

[GhostMatter]

They're not gone to waste.You surely had fun.
Your best bet is to contact support and make sure you always have a save.

I understand your frustration but it's too bad for you if you're gonna stop playing Bioware games because of a bug like this.
Tip for your next topic: make a comprenhensible first post, don't explain everything 10 posts later when everyone's wondering what you meant.

EDIT: Corrected typos.

Thanks for the reasonable and helpful reply Ghostmatter you should work for Bioware. But seeing all the problems people are having with the game just makes me relieved not having to deal with the buggy game. And they are just going to continue to dish out $5-$10 content that will last 1-3 hours sounds annoying.

[DarkOsprey26]

If you're going to leave, just do it. Makes me think, are you more upset at Bioware or the fact you didn't save the game often enough and that's what ruined it for you? The game has its problems yes, but not everyone experiences them. There are people who have played the game from beginning to end without any problems at all. You're just one of the unfortunate group who has had trouble. If nobody answers your posts, just suck it up like the rest of us and be patient.

[Dr. Scarabus]

The game has 4 autosave slots. Load an earlier autosave.

[Allan Schumacher]

I just want to say that a lot of the time we're not able to respond to posts for two primary reasons:

1) The forum moves very fast.  It is very easy to miss a post
2) We're busy doing more than just following the forum

Regarding the first point, it's certainly not our intent to ignore posts of people who have issues.  A lot of people post and it's possible that some queries get missed.  It's just not possible to keep up with all of the posts, especially since only a handful of us are able to regularly check the forums.

Regarding the second point, while we definitely try to give feedback (even a "we see you're problem and acknowledge it" helps in most cases) and possible solutions, the unfortunate fact is that time spent reading posts and making replies, is time not spent actually fixing issues.  I could have been posting earlier today, but I spent much of the morning and early afternoon verifying a bug and finding the bug in the game resources.


It's unfortunate that you had issues with your copy of Dragon Age.  As Technical QA, each issue that comes up that blocks someone from playing the game hits a bit harder, because I wish that I had been able to find the issue before it blocked you in your game.  And I'm not even one of the playthrough guys.  No one here is happy that some people have issues with the game, and we're working our best at trying to fix the issues people are having.

In any case, thanks for taking the time to post on the forums.


Respectfully,

Allan

shoudlnt have to save like 3-6 different files lol just to be safe about losing my game. Bioware should just release a functioning game instead. I'm one of the many unfortunates who had trouble with it.

[DarkOsprey26]

The game IS functioning, just not for some. And the whole POINT of the save function is so you DON'T lose your game. In some cases reloading a save doesn't fix the problem but the option is there for a reason. And what you have to remember is the game is very, very, new. Most games have issues when they're first released, that's why patches were invented, to FIX those problems. If you can't wait for a patch to come out, then that's your problem isn't it? Sitting there verbally bashing Bioware isn't going to help your situation any, now is it?

Haha thanks but Allan just showed why he IS I think.

I find it hard to blame Bioware myself for bugs(except Redcliffe...) because it's a large large game and that makes it hard to test on all the hardware configurations.

For your problem, your best bet is to contact support, really. Even if Allen answered here, I doubt he can do much like this. Place a ticket and refer to this thread, maybe someone can put in direct contact with a QA person, like Allan. I've found that Bioware is a company that cares about it's players. Some people says EA does not but recently, I've found it's the contrary.

Yes, saving often sucks but it's very useful for these kinda things. RPGs are, by definition, large and expansive, so bugs are normal. Anyway, you should always save before a major plot point:ph34r:
You played 55 hours too so it DID take a long time for the bug to appear 

The content is also optional. You can't not get it. It's additional revenue streams with more fun for players. Anyway, there will be a ton of player-made content so I think it shows that they trust their content will be of quality, a lot of mods are often better than their original game.

Compared to a lot of the recent games that have come out, DAO seems to be in very UN-buggy state. Those that followed the last two Bethesda PC releases will remember the slew of bugs they had upon release. Considering the game has only been out for 3 weeks, and there already two patches released should easily convince anyone of Bioware's sincerity in solving everyones problems.



With all due respect, BioWare really doesn't have to even deal with half of these issues. It's a known fact that forum posters make up on average of about 10% of a games players. Considering that half of those people have problems, that's only 5% of players posting issues here. However, BioWare is pumping out fixes/patches regardless of that fact.



I've purchased every BioWare game since the first Baldur's Gate, and I personally will continue to do so, as they have proven that they can squash bugs, that they do listen, and they release the best RPG content on the planet.



So ninjakittie, leave if you want, but you'll end up just missing out on a slew of top-notch games in the future.



With regards to saving games, Why do you think on consoles RPG dev's give you so many save slots? It's common knowledge to save often, and save many. RPG's are the hardest games to make, and almost always have odd quest bugs. I personally save roughly every 10 minutes, just in case. Saves take up next to no hard drive space, and can save you headaches like these. But, as Dr. Scarabus said, load an earlier autosave. You may lose a whopping 20 minutes of gameplay, but that is practically nothing if you've already invested 55 hours.



Being counterproductive and demanding never stems results...

[BittermanAndy]

I'm actually reasonably impressed with the quality of Dragon Age. In over 80 hours of gameplay I've had four crashes. Two minor sidequests have got into a state where they won't complete. Given the complexity of the game, not to mention the depth and breadth of it... that's not bad. (DLC is another issue given that Shale no longer works for me and Soldier's Peak has disappeared before I could even visit - they've definitely let themselves, and us, down with that - but DLC aside, it's not bad).



Unfortunately even when a game does pretty well with bugs like DA:O has, some people will still suffer. It's the nature of software development. Not a single computer program ever written is 100% bug free, and it is completely impossible to test on every single possible hardware and operating system combination before release. They've not done perfectly, but they've done quite well considering that perfection can't be achieved. That's not much solace for someone who *is* suffering from difficulties, but it's sadly true.



So, I'm not upset about the fact there's a few bugs in DA:O, I'm not even *that* upset that there are bugs in the DLC (though it is pretty poor form). What *is* upsetting is that there's no sign of a fix for these issues (I mean come on, guys, the DLC debacle is unforgiveable) and no ETA on when that fix might come, either.



Jumping up and down and shouting about it on a forum that doesn't have constant monitoring by Bioware (not blaming Tech QA guys like Allen for that, it's not their job, EA should be able to afford to employ a community manager!) unfortunately will achieve nothing. I'm not completely sure what will. All I know is, they've just announced new DLC. I, for one, will not be buying that DLC, or any other EA or Bioware product, until the existing DA:O DLC bugs are fixed, because at the moment I've thrown away £10 on DLC that doesn't work, and I have no intention to throw any more money after it.



Just my thoughts.

[KingDumpty]

Bioware games are some of the best games out there!

[R1Driver]

Well, I just had a BSOD today, makes me think of the Hellgate-days ... Just hope it wont happen to regularly ..

Because in the whole history of mankind, data has never been corrupted before due to a long and varied list of reasons. You are the victim of your own actions, take responsability at least of that part (that not of the bug, which is Bioware's). I must have like 16 save files for my current playthrough and cycle through them as needed.

Looking at a forum and saying a game is buggy is like sitting in front of a mechanic shop and saying all the cars are defective.
