Corrupted savefiles?

Hi!

I bought this game two weeks ago, and the last week I have been playing it a lot. My first real problems have just appeared, and it's that damned DLC that is causing it. I have Blood Armor and Shale which came with my retailed box, as well as Warden's Keep that I bought a few days ago.

Problem is that my unstarted Warden's Keep isn't accessible on the world map anymore, the guy that I get the quest from isn't in my camp anymore either. I got Shale quite early but right now he seems to be broken. I can see him in camp, but if I interact with him it seems like the dialog scene is transported back på that village he comes from when you get to try to start him with the command word. The only thing that is visible is Shale, my character and the text, the rest is empty blue-colored space and then the game isn't playable.

I have tried what has been mentioned in the FAQ's about cleaning download tempfiles using the DA:O Utility. I have tried both patch 1.01 and 1.01b. I have deactivated the DLC and force-loaded a save, then saved a new one, exited the game, activating the DLC and then loading the latest DLC. I lose my Blood Armor and Shale is gone forever in the game. If I visit his village it's just empty and he isn't in my camp anymore either. No way to start Wardens Keep either but I can atleast buy back med Blood Armor from the dwarf in my camp. I have also reinstalled my game, redownloaded DLC but the problem still exist.

What makes me suspect that my savefiles is corrupted is that if I load an older savefile (last save that had DLC working seems to be one 40 hours into the game) but I don't feel like replaying the game from that since I'm on my 69th hour now.

Does anyone know any way to fix this or am I just supposed to accept this and move on in the game?

Thanks for reading!

I know this post is old, but I just encountered the same problem. I went back to camp after finishing Orzammar, and re-loading the game to clear memory leak (it had been running for a few hours). Tried to speak to Shale - got stuck with Shale in a circle of black surrounded by blue space. Trying to exit this circle gave me a rather interesting run around my campsite - from the outside. (There's a lot more map to that campsite than I suspected!)



I am concerned that I won't be able to play the game as normal from that point, though?

I can of course go back to an earlier save, but...

Its caused by continuing to play the game after the game has stripped the DLC due it thinking you no longer having the rights to its. Its a pretty nasty bug, particularly if you don't notice at the time, as any saves made in that state get corrupted. I tend to always keep one piece of DLC equipment on me at all times and obsessively check that its always there. If you notice right away its just a matter of exiting and restarting the last good save to get it back. But if you don't notice immediately there are currently only two workarounds.



1) Go back to a non-corrupt save.



2) Use the Developers Console to try and fix things up. Instructions in this thread

as 1) was no option (20+ hours playtime since then, didn't realize it was a bug at first) i used the dev. console and could finally access the contents i paid for.

what a hassle.

but thank you so much for the support!
