My game seems to get into a mode where I cannot load, save or exit. However, I can play an move around without any problems. Help!

Need more info.
eg. Game patched to 1.02? Are your savegames under documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age 2\\Characters?

The DEMO was set that way. Is it possible that you are launching that instead? If not and you do have the DEMO installed, I would recommend uninstalling that first.

Other question, since you can't load or save, do you still resume from the autosave points or are you always starting from the very beginning of the game?

It sounds like the game didn't install properly.  If you're on Windows 7, I'm guessing setup.exe doesn't run with proper escalated privileges.  I think I had to run the installer in compatibility mode, and definitely as administrator.  If that's the case, the game itself doesn't have permission to modify the contents of your hard drive, and so you can't save properly.  You may want to uninstall and then reinstall the game.  When you reinstall, right-click on the setup file and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility."  Windows will choose the correct compatibility settings, you'll have to ok the UAC prompt before the game installs, but after that, you should be good to go.

Sorry to interupt again (simply because the original poster never came back to this post). There is another huge thread about this. It appears if you have a single core (or mutitiple core with only one core active) this problem may occur (without the patch).

Feel like I am wasting my time here though because as mentioned the OP never did come back to this thread.

With this member, getting information was worse than pulling teeth.  There *IS* a pinned sticky, after all,  That should have been referenced, and then the OP could respond fully, or decide that he/she didn't really care or not whether he could save. 

social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/300/index/6423406

And there was at least one recent message thread about the same problem that he / she could have found very easily.

It is possible that the approval/rivalry notice for a companion that is not included in the group was clicked, thus entering the character screen. This causes the game to not recognize any keyboard commands and prevents saving. The party can still move about.

I posted in a similar post, but I want to see if there is a better way to fix this issue without turning off autosave and deleting previous quicksaves.


AMD Phenom II 3.0 GHz Quad core
nVidia Geforce GTX 460
Windows 7 32bit
Direct X 11

- Bought the game off Steam
- Patched to 1.02, Exiled Prince, BE, and Rogue pack DLC
- One mod that fixes the save transfer from DAO (never gave me problems before, but I tried uninstalling it and the same problem occurs)

Same issue. Randomly, I'll quicksave, or an autosave occurs, and the game is stuck in a save loop where I can't load, save, or exit the game. The game was playing fine until yesterday afternoon, and I started having this issue. The only thing I've changed was a Steam Client update (not the beta). So, I've tried the following fixes:

- Updating nVidia drivers (had to roll them back afterwards because I was having graphical errors and the game wouldn't reload the previous save)
- Checking if all cores are being used (yes they are)
- Re-installed the game (leading to me re-installing steam and all my other games because the client glitched and wouldn't show my game library)
- Restarting computer

None of them work. I think I've pretty much scoured the forums for solutions, so I'm looking for fresh insight. Thanks in advance!

Thank you SO MUCH, Lizzbee. And thanks to everyone once else for your help. I had to uninstall the game, then reinstall it, making sure that I had checked compatibility for Windows XP. I made sure everthing (even the patch) was compatible. And now it works.

You're very welcome   

You can usually tell if an installer is designed to use Vista and Windows 7 settings by the little shield icon that shows up in the corner of the installer icon.  I've made a general practice of right-clicking every installer and choosing "Troubleshoot Compatibility" from the right-click menu and then I launch the installer from the compatibility dialog box that pops up.  Windows usually knows better than I do what compatibility settings work best with what installer.
