Ok i'm getting sick of you guys blamin EA and Bioware, when its not there fault. Don't stop reading there, because it's Edge of Reality's fault. They made the corrupt save files a bug when they made a fixed save file of 17mb. Sell to much to a vendor, store too much in that chest, and bam your corrupted. Bioware can't make Edge of Reality do anything about it because of some stupid legal thing. I just was careful not to sell much and I beat the game once and am currently working on a mage and a warrior. So stop blaming ea and start flaming edge of reality. Seriously

Down with Edge of Reality then?

Are you suggesting that selling too much stuff in general, even spread out between vendors, can have this effect? I've not encountered this bug, but am paranoid that I might, and lose a bunch of play time as a result. I've been testing my saves periodically, and backing up working ones to a memory unit for safekeeping .

Also, a lot of people earlier in the thread noted that the glitches started during the landsmeet -- has anyone narrowed down why that might be? Do Bodahn or other vendors get a bunch of new items when you trigger the landsmeet that might set this off?

[lavafrog22]

If you're selling to different vendors you should be fine. I had Bodahn 1 item away from being overloaded and went around and sold a few items to several different vendors just to see if their inventories were somehow connected. Never had a problem with my saves loading.

As far as happening around the landsmeet, I'd guess it's probably one of two things: 1.) By this time the player has finally acquired enough items to overload a vendor. It takes dumping a lot of stuff to one vendor to see this corrupt save. 2.) It's a totally different glitch that will probably be explained when Bioware releases a patch.

[man__wtf]

ive never sold enuff items to bodahn... but mayb... the merchant at redcliffe, aha!! thats where i sell all my shale crystals.. hmm.. now it makes sense.

[Stahlbrand]

Its a pretty cruddy situation, reminds me of the "FormID Bug" that hit Oblivion after the Shivering Isles patch - dropped items (including arrows) would get counted in a cell, and remembered. 50 or more hours in (especially if you were an archer) and BOOM, crash time because a limit of items in memory (FormIDs) was exceeded.



I'm no programmer, so I don't know why such limits exist, but things like this have happend before, so I guess they are hard to avoid or account for.



Hopefully this gets patched, but at least with knowledge of what causes the problem seemingly established by selfless forum posters, players can know how to avoid the issue in the mean time.



I haven't had this bug, I guess because I naturally spread my vendor business out by selling my junk as often as I can to the nearest merchant, rather than saving it all for Bodhan, or trying to dupe items or anything like that.



So, tell your friends. You know somebody playing DA:O, give them the heads up not to overload one merchant with stuff.

[AgelyssStrang3r]

i was without glitches or exploits. i know i didn't overload any vendors. i scrap anything i'm not going to be using. i had just finished my main character. male warrior, all "good" choices, dual weild, champion/berserker. turned it off and the next morning all my saves were damaged. was assuming it were some update that caused the damaged saves.

new estimation of how much i lost, as well. maybe 70 hrs spread over.... 5 characters.. i know some've lost more but still, it's a lot of work.

[shawn-m]

Well, I’ll add myself to the list of 360 folks dealing with damaged save files. I was at 50-some hours last night when I discovered 3 of 4 saves were broken. Can’t say I used any exploits in the game and in my case, the save mini-pics were OK. One thing I did notice before having trouble; the Blood Dragon plate armor had spontaneously disappeared from my party inventory. . . related?

[Raven96]

Has anyone from Bioware even said this is a problem? Their so worried about new dlc and expansion games what about us who have already paided for our game and 80hrs+ over 80hrs+ that never get to finish it. They need to atleast acknowledge that this happens and either that theirs nothing they can do about it or that they are trying to fix this update will be out 2015. -.-

[Kumamtl]

Please patch this problem...It is hard to even think about buying the expansion and Ostragar Return, if I can't access my files or a fear of future screw ups. The cost of certain items in game is ridiculous so just playing through without using the redcliffe glitch or stealing from everyone still won't allow a player to buy all the tomes, special armour and weapons from all vendors Just saving for the Magister Lord Staff was time consuming ... I am hoping that the update included in the Return to Ostragar will fix this.

[LordNader]

It has happened to me, I may have an idea what caused it It may be one of these 3 things.

1. I bought a manual for a berserker and talked to Oghren who taught me how to be one.

2. Money glitch.

3. I input a promo code which didnt work because it wasnt registered yet. I think it may be this because some of the corrupted save files are the same number I had for the promo code.



I'm at the point in the game where i just left Ozamar and completed the 4 main quests before the landsmeet. The corrupted save files seem to appear more after I receive shale and oghren's personal quests and after I talk to oghren about being a berserker.

[LordNader]

I just tested my theory and im beginning to think that the stahlbrand is correct. I completed the Oghren quest and saved and the file was fine. Then I went to soldiers peak and sold all the crap i got from ozamar to dryden and then saved and the reloaded. The file became corrupted. I also bought the crap from every other vendor in the game specifically t sell to dryden since he upgrades armor and weapons as soon as you sell him stuff.

Thats what i have been asking... I have yet to see anybody other than regular forum users even acknowledge the issue exists.  I asked the same question in the new thread posted over in the "updates" forum... they seem to mention every issue in that post except the broken saves. 

I havnt had this issue yet, but im kinda paranoid about it.  Havnt even played this game all the way through yet and i have had it since Christmas.... somehow its just not as fun to play when your always worried your saves might get corrupt.  I have been playing ME and ME2, waiting till this game is fixed before i really get into it... if its not fixed soon though, ill probably trade it while its still worth a buck.

[Skykilr1]

Same thing happened to me. My character got killed, so I loaded my save, said the file was corrupted. So then I went back to the autosave, annoyed already that I would lose about 30 minutes. Well TADA! The autosave was corrupted too. So good by to Dragon Origins. I had already prepaid for MassEffect2, but after that I'm done with Bioware. I don't care how great a game is, if you can't play it. Paid $60 for a game, paid for all the DLC, even bought the strategy guide. So in total I spent about $95 and spent 50+ hrs. I loved every game from Bioware, KoTor 1 n 2, Jade Empire, ME1, etc... With that said, unless they figure out a way to fix it I will NEVER buy ANYTHING else with Bioware's logo on it. Fix the damn thing already. Bye Bioware.

Same here, I just need to get some fre time and I am going to change this game for any other at Blokbuster.
Bye Bye Bioware.

well, this sucks.

As a customer I'm relly not interested who of the game makers is to blame. And I'm certainly not obliged to pinpoint bugs nor find ways to fix 'em. All I know I've a legal right to get a product that works to compensate the do' I paid. Phew, what a waste.

Nice that one good samaritan takes their side, tho'. You're a stockholder, then? Have a good one, nevertheless.

[Brawler44]

It would be a good start for EA/BioWare to at least confess they know about this problem. And after that they could admit it's a bug indeed. That's certainly a lot easier than trying to deny something hundreds of gamers have experienced. Then we could be friends again.



This may be one of my utopian dreams, or maybe, just maybe I wanted to be positively surprised.

[RyanLenox]

Great....1 month since the corruption cursed my game and still no official word. We all are in The Fade of Corruption and none of the mages in Bioware Tower has tried to free us;maybe, to start this quest they will need the "Staff of Responsability", a very rare and legendary item......

So what is the limit?  You must know since you were "1 item away".

good question!?!

has anybody downloaded todays title update and tried to load any of thier broken saves?  just curiouse... they may have fixed and just not mentioned it.

[Wicked 702]

Um, go back and read some earlier posts. It's there.....

[RyanLenox]

I have just downloaded the update; unfortunately, the saves are still broken. The update is only related to Return to Ostagar and the specilizations bug; maybe next time...

[Ashadoa]

I have got the same problem.

All 8 of my saves are corrupt. The first time I found them corrupt was today, after the update (though I expect this was just a coincidence).



I had 64 hours of gameplay and was doing the landsmeet



I really hope they fix this.

[Raven96]

I doubt they'll fix this, I've yet to see them even acknowledge this is a problem.
