If you worry about overloading merchants just destroy the items you would normally sell and get that amount of gold from the item dupe glitch, very fast and easy. I've used this method since I lost all my saves a while back and now have 5 characters finished and never had a problem with using this method. Some may consider it "cheating" but you can be quite specific with the amount of money you get depending on the item used for the dupe.

I just encountered this glitch over 50 hours of game time its probably because I overloaded a merchant by only selling crap to him.

I have not used up all my inventory slots - of that I am sure as I tend to leave most junk behind. The fade has been an issue for me in both games I have played, but never to the extent that I'm locked out, until now that is.

To clarify anyone that is still confused: The problem is merchant by merchant. Just spread your selling around Ferelden (i.e. don't sell everything to Bodahn in camp) and you'll never encounter this problem. Each merchant has a maximum inventory # of 548 slots, independent of the others.

I think the easy solution for a patch would be to simply make the merchants purge their inventory once you leave the zone. I mean how often do you really go buy back the junk you sell anyways, most of it is generic armor/weapons that never get used or useless items.

24 saves and 12 got corrupted.. 79h in -26h thank you! + no redcliffe crystal glitch

I disagree, I almost wasn't able to complete a quest cos I didn't know I would need garnets at any point and I had to travel across all of Fereldan to find the merchant i'd sold them to. I like that they don't destroy stuff, I would say that instead a merchant should not allow you to sell any more items to them once you've reached the limit, that would solve that particular glitch right off the bat.

The merchant would say: "Buy something for Maker's sake!"

Can't even describe how PO'd I am right now. I was 98 hours into the game, and had completed every single possible quest available to me up to that point. Had exited landsmeet to g rescue the queen, and had several manual saves on top of the auto-save. I went to reload a level, and every single manual save I had, including auto save, was corrupted. Bioware THIS IS BS! Not even counting the fact that in 17+ pages of forums none of your people have the balls to leave one comment. Don't even think for a second that their people don't read these forums because they are here looking for ideas and feedback. I would even settle for a generic save that I could reload, it's not like my save profile doesn't show where exactly I'm at, what level I'm at, and how long I've been F'n playing. I loved KOTOR, I loved Mass Effect, and this has pretty much ruint Bioware for me, after reading every page of complaints from so many other players like me that have had the exact same problem. Oh did I mention that I bought the game in January, months after it came out, and I just F'n bought Awakening which I'm sure I won't be able to return, even though I haven't played it yet. I'm so glad I'm no longer in the military because I would F'n blow something up right now.

Hey all,
We are defiantly looking at this issue, especially since a lot of people have lost some good hours to this crash. This issue has been added to our must-fix pile.

Roughly two weeks without further updates.  I'm not sure if this vague response with no follow-up is a significant improvement on no response at all.

Here's a situation where you have hundreds of posts documenting a serious game bug (in some detail, thanks to some observant customers), and four months after the problem was reported, EA/Bioware has taken no action to resolve the problem.

I'm not expecting a hot fix. I'm expecting some "miracle patch" like a month or so from now that patches some of the MAJOR apparent issues. I mean they have a "fix pile".

[13Dannyboy13]

The solution is a PR campaign that further makes people feel alienated.....not a patch....seriously?!.....

A timeline or update on a patch would be a start, but I'm guessing that by the time this game is actually fixed most people will have traded it in and moved on, or the patch will only fix the expansion.

I've lost the small glimmer of hope that I had a few weeks ago now....*sigh*

Hey guys i am 10 hours in the game yet, i like a lot the game so far; i am afraid of play a lot of hours and get the corrupted files, do you recomend me to get the PS3 version,? does that one get the same bugs??, I was going to get it in PC last week when it was very cheap but i dont know if my pc would hold up, so the ps3 is maybe the way to go (i would do all the origins stories in 360 for the achievements)

 I would stay the course. I've not encountered this problem so I have limited knowledge on it. From what I have read though, you should do a few things.

 1) Save early and often, multiple spots in case 1 save gets corrupted.

 2) Read what the save file says. I know more than once I went to save and instead of saying someting like "Ostagar etc." it just showed up as random numbers "123344546532312". When this happens I cancel the save attempt and try again. 2nd time it shows up as it should with your location etc.  

 3) Do not use the Crystal bug to make money. Many people have reported this as a potential problem causing the corrupted saves. Atleast it seems to increase the odds of it happening. Money can be made in other ways.

Just wanted to say that I just had the same glitch.  My top 6 saves were all corrupt this morning, and I lost about 40 minutes of play. I  have not taken advantage of any cheats, the only thing that I did  different yesterday was downloading the April Fools DLC.  The DLC took my merchant over the limit of items and now I have corrupt saves after paying Bioware more money.  Thanks guys!  Is this the same Bioware that made the original Baldur's Gate?

 Okay, 50+ hours into my awesome arcane warrior, getting close to end game only sacred ashes and an arch demon to kill...corrupted game file.  Downloaded the April Fools DLC which added a crap load of items to Camp Merchant.  Pushed me over the camp...worse of all is that I played about 6 hrs after the download before taking a break and trying to load the game later in the day.  Dead dead dead dead dead...only to find out it's too many items for a single merchant.

A friend told how great some old school RPG BioWare game was.  So...Dragon Age on Xbox 360 - I'm in,   

It seems to me that the good folks at BioWare spent many hours thinking about / designing / developing this game.  So I ask, with that much thought and effort put into this game how could this bug have been missed by their QA?  The most basic of testing would have caught this bug.  QA is designed to to see what happens at the edges.  So, while they may deny it, BioWare knew about this bug when the software was released.  I bet Marketing made the call to push the product.  I just don't believe Marking was told how devastating this bug is.  BioWare this bug is a SHOW STOPPER, GAME KILLER, GAME OVER type bug.  

So, shame on QA for not taking a stand on a bug that, get this, CORRUPTS "save" files.  If you want to see who not to hire for your next QA efforts run the Credits.

I dont understand why Bioware hasnt tried to fix this yet... I want my character back so I can buy the Expansion Pack!

Yup.  QA isn't about seeing what most commonly happens.

In my case, I was centralizing my sold goods to one merchant, in case I wanted to buy anything back later (e.g. goods like gems for the ambassadors at your camp).  It managed to render a large number of my saves unplayable, so the "save often" advice given about is not useful.

[Dragus]

I just experienced this problem for the first time. I played through all the quests, saving Redcliff for the end. After I used the ashes on Arl Eamon and moved on to Denerim, the game performed an autosave. I followed that by manually saving and then turned off the game. When I went back to play it later, I couldn't load the manual save or the autosave because the game said they were damaged.

I'm highly disappointed that a solution to this problem hasn't been found yet.

It would be nice if they would at least acknowledge us and explain that they are aware of this issue and actively trying to fix it...

[Drewbahr]

Just purchased this game about a month ago. Second playthrough, glitch just ate my current 32+ hour game AND its autosave. Only option on that particular character is to use a save that is nearly 20 hours back from my current point, which is not an option. Is there any way to salvage a corrupted save file?

[HedStr8EyesTite]

so, what do you say BW? can we get a fix?



im just gonna keep asking everyday.
