I have never done any glitch. I have had two files with corrupt saves. Both games were past landsmeet and after RTO, but before the patch and re-release of RTO. I got it the first time and cleared the cache to get specs back, then actually played it through with 2 different characters. I did not unlock the achievement though (since the glitch wasnt fixed yet). I had to go back to the last save before RTO, also any save after that was also corrupt.

glitch exploit or not. The "New" Blacksmith in Redcliff (who has a great bow) is no-no territory in my current and LAST playthrough. My game hates that guy. More and more, I feel that the people saying it's an npc inventory issue are right. I sold him the crystals, and in buy back they were different prices! Some were buy back prices and some were purchase prices...now I know something is wrong. I feel that if you used that exploit the game should STILL delete the items you have sold after you exit the vendor menu. That's just standard operation. I want my money back...Sorry, stated that several times already.

Danny, seriously, If you have played a major game release that has been as broken as this , I would LOVE to know what it is. I mean a real game, not some game you buy because you have everything else already.This game isn't an MMO to be patched and fixed. This game is broken. We should be able to play this out of the box and never have to go online AND have few, if no issues. Freeze up? Sure, no problem.Corrupting my saved files, no f'n way! Who's fault it is I don't care. Edge/Bio/EA...either way it's still broken. That's bad business, and you can't expect the people that purchase your product to "Just deal with it". Some of us are fed up with "just dealing with it".

Is this STILL an issue? Seriously? Really?



I'm surprised they didn't patch this within the first week. Hell, I didn't even know about it until just now. I'm no longer going to use just 1 or 2 saves to save on HD space. I'd rather be careful and finish the actual game.

This very well may be true. It does appear that the majority of posts I see from people who claim they haven't used any exploits to gain money tend to be where they've gotten the new blacksmith to appear. Could just be coincidence. I still think the majority of these problems are stemming from people selling too much to a vendor. Lavafrog22 clearly identified an upper limit earlier in this thread. The irony is that a problem like this is totally expected if you must have a hard cap on save file sizes and you know a little about programming.

I would like to address your other concern. What you see with the "buy back" prices is not something wrong with the vendor. In fact, it is functioning completely normally. When you sell an item and then leave the vendor, the item stays in the buy back screen but the price changes to full price, as if the vendor was selling it normally. Buy back prices only apply when you are currently buying and selling. Once you leave the vendor screen, the deal is done and you don't get to buy it back for the same price.

If you travel to another area and straight back, the next time you see the vendor the item will have moved from buy back to junk. Finally, the next time after you travel and come back the item will move into the appropriate tab of the vendor's actual inventory, appearing as if he was always selling it. Or you can just travel to 2 others areas on the world map and come back. Accomplishes the same result.

I saw above all the games listed...Assassins Creed was just outright boring after awhile but I never had one bug when I played and I thought it was a very smooth game. Kotor (1 and *2) were fine. They only flipped out when I screwed with them ( Looting that dead body over and over). As for Fallout 3, which I consider Bethesda and I'm not about to get it out and look at the box, I never got into. I played so many hours of Oblivion that I just couldn't handle that style of game play again. However, I did play it and I do remember bad saves, but only on the scale of Oblivion bad saves ( just save it again). Never nothing compared to what you see here. Please, don't get me wrong, I love this game. I got it because of the other mentioned games. I can deal with a few bugs but I refuse to deal with a broken game. Those others were no way close to this. I really do wonder, what the hell is up with that?

This is ridiculous!! I just got the saved file corrupt tonight after logging over 100 hours on my first and only character. I can't believe that they are ignoring the issue the way they are. I emailed them as well and hopefully if we keep harrassing them we can get something accomplished. I didn't even do any of the glitches. All I did was return to Redcliffe to complete some of the side quests, and while there bought some items from the Bartender and Blacksmith but sold nothing to them. How stupid that you can't even return to a location on your map and buy items without screwing your game and progress over. I'm not even going to start another profile/character after this and sure as hell won't be buying anything else from them.

Yes, I encountered this issue just this past weekend.  I am at the *Final Battle* with my first character on my first full playthrough and cannot finish the game.  Upsetting, to put it lightly. 

Multiple saves don't help.  Every save I currently try to make is corrupted.  This character is done.  Sadly, don't know if I will try another.

When I play I worry about corruption so much that I just use the dupe glitch for my money and destroy pretty much everything else. Really sucks though having to cheat through the game just to keep it from corrupting my saves (againImage IPB).  I keep a few armor sets etc in my chest at Warden's keep and some weapons etc but mostly I get rid of anything that I probably won't use.

After reading all these posts though I'm starting to wonder if it's more than just item overload that will corrupt the saves. Since the save file is a fixed size it corrupts when there is too much data I think (merchant overload for example), I don't know much when it comes to the technical side of this but maybe there are other bugs that cause the save file to go over the limit. Anyone with technical knowledge have a guess at what these could be?

You can add my name to the list also. I have a "good save" in camp. After that I went to the Peak and dropped off some stuff and went to Ostagar. I have about 10 corrupted saves from the Peak on. I lost a good 6-7 hours of Saturday Morning game play. I'm going to have to return to Returning to Ostagar. So much for saving often.

I am a little PO'd.  :crying:

Just wanted to bump this thread to the first page since its getting buried by the server issue.

Still no word on if they are even planning a fix? Shouldn't be too hard to work in a patch for this programatically. Just a purge on inventory items after a few hours of game time.

Stopped playing when it happened to me about a month ago. I want to finish the game / start a new character, but don't want to bother if this will keep happening...

Hmmm...looking more and more like Soldiers Peak may be the main culprit screwing things up as far as the corrupted saves issue.Thoughts? Think about it. The Staff you get is a half assed version of the one in the game and the shield is also a half assed version of Duncan's shield. That tells me that someone wasn't paying attention to what was going on. My friends who don't have DLC (do to the economy some have let their Xbox live or even internet accounts laps) have yet to run into an issue with DA:O. Meanwhile those who have used DLC and have never glitched anything are getting corrupt saves. Practically stating the obvious, but still, food for thought.

The only thing I can really think of for the peak corrupting a save is maybe overloading the chest or the 2 vendors there. I just use the smith to upgrade gear really, other than that I just dupe items for gold till there's a definite fix for the corruption issue.

Well. deleted all my saved games,DLC, and deleted and re-installed to hard drive. Got xbox live update and then re downloaded all DLC. May use level glitch if it still works, but leaving the money glitches alone. Third time going through,so I know what most of the stuff does anyway. Rolled an elf mage. Going for my glyphs, mage, most of the spirits, and some entropy thrown in so I can debuff when I get my Arcane Warrior. May also choose 2nd specialty, not sure what through probably healer.If it doesn't work this time, I give up. Will post how it goes.

What do you mean it worked for you? Were you able to play your corrupted save files? or does it get rid of them? I sthis the patch that automatically updates when you start the game (I just did it)? I am still unable to restore my saves.

Ugh, just corrupted with my first Rogue playthrough at Landsmeet 55 hours into the game. I sold almost everything to Bodhan just out of convenience - guess that is what did it.

Pretty sure that's what happened to me when I lost all my saves, now I just destroy everything instead of selling and use the item dupe to get gold. Sucks having to cheat your way through the game but I've got about 4 characters finished and a few more at various points in the game and haven't had any more corruption issues. Just be careful not to overload your chest in Wardens keep, pretty sure that also causes corruptions.
