Hi

Yesterday I run into this bug too. Fortunately I have many saves so I only lost about an hour game play. First of all; my money on Bodhan "overloading". Since my corrupting saves start after I did some buy/sell in the camp. I sell my stuff elsewhere and… voila, my saves stoped corrupting. After this I spend a lot of money to buy back useless stuff and destroy it. Saves work fine.

About BioWare/EA. They WONT FIX IT!! Simply because if they can they already did it. Therefore they CAN’T! Not unless a mayor fix, witch they won’t do. And because they won’t fix it, they won’t respond it too. So I suggest to everyone to move on. It is a sad thing I know. But after 6 month all of us have to face it and deal with it.


Yeah ... no.  That's complete crap.  They CAN fix it, and it is their QC team's JOB to fix it.  So bull****.  Stop being an apologist.

Actually they can fix the game, they just have made no effort at all to do so. Amazing how a modder in his spare time can fix most of the bugs, yet the company that makes the game does nothing. The fact remains that they have done nothing to fix this game, and everything to get more money out of us instead, seems all the money goes to PR and marketing instead of actually using some of it for support. They have a few options for fixing this bug so saying it can't be done is wrong, they simply choose not to sadly. I do agree though that it really is time to move on, they've made it very clear by their actions that they really don't give a f*ck about fixing anything unless they can find a way to make money off of it. When six months later we don't even have minor tweaks to fix smaller bugs it just goes to show what their attitude is about support for this game.

Their customer service is a complete joke-- if you call, they point you to ea.com.  If you go to ea.com, they point you here.  If you go here, they pretend not to see the issue and post self-congratulatory topics instead.

I'm not sure if this is the exact thing everyone is talking about, but my saves are acting really weird now. I was playing a file where I tried the dupe glitch, making an extra file in case anything happened, and sure enough, I notice some stuff start to happen. There would be a slight lag anytime an onscreen NPC talks (where the screen doesn't change perspective). Small, blue graphical things would surround my character. And worse yet, when I went to Denerim There is a weird black area eminating from what appears to be my character's field of vision and it starts lagging horrendously.

I deleted the save immediately. However, I noticed it now affects a save before I did the glitch. Now frightened, I checked some saves with totally different characters months before I did this exploit and it seems to effect them too. I can still save and play though, but the game scares me with how weird it is now. Is this similar to what it happening to everyone else, or is this totally different?

P.S. not sure if it had anything to do with it, but I recently bought the Collector's edition even though I had most of my saves from the regular edition, and added the CE DLC. Not sure if this influences it at all or not....

UPDATE: I just found out this graphical glitch is happening with all my games, not just Dragon Age, which means this is an XBOX problem. Oh joy.

damn, that sucks man, sorry to hear about your xbox issues.  if your lucky itll be rrod and youll just have to send it in for a free repair.  my first xbox got rrod about a year ago, sent it in, and had it back in 1 week and 1 day.

I doubt I'll be buying any more Bioware games in the future, thanks to the abhorrent response to this thread.

Yea, add me to the list of disgruntled/disgusted customers.

Same problem as most others, 40+ hours in, just finished Landsmeet, saved just before so I could see/control the story branches from there. Tried to reload and BOOM, corrupted. Last possible save file that now works is about 7/8hours behind.

I've used no exploits, but I have been selling everything exclusively in the Party camp so I've obviously hit the limit as has been discussed previosuly. (well done to those who took the time/effort to test the limits and how to reproduce)

To be honest, im shocked this got through the testing processes. I work in QA in the games industry myself and something like overloading venders would be something that should be checked as standard in a game like this. Very sloppy indeed.

Now, IF they manage to release a patch to fix this on consoles it will probably only fix it in a way to stop it happening again and is unlikely to recover/fix any affected save files due to the nature of the file. In a fit of desperation I even tried to import my character from the corrupted save file across to Awakenings in the hope it was only the character data it was puling from the file, unfortunately this doesn't work either and gives you a hard lock-up (full console crash/freeze). Which suggests the files are unrecoverable once corrupt.

So yea, once I calm down and can bare to face the game again i'll have to re-do Nature of the Beast, the alienage and landsmeet -sigh-

Well, the fact that the first title update (the one that was supposed to come with RtO and ended up locking all your specialisations) passed "Q"A speaks volumes. By contrast, this bug is actually "hard" to find. For the spec-bug, it would've sufficed to load one single save game and level up after installing.

Hed, the literal translation would be

Can't save the game anymore, respectivley can't find the saved game.
Uninstalled and re-installed 3 times, now I only get "Runtime error" when trying to start it?
No idea what's happening, somebody please help...!

Runtime error sounds more like a PC problem to me?

Wasn't aware of this first issue, I joined the DA:O party quite late, so never experienced it myself, but from wht you write I agree, would not have taken long to level up a few and relise that Spec's were locked.

To respond to your point about how the vendor overload bug is "Hard" to find, I have to disagree. From my experience (and depending on the genre thats being tested) when it comes to vendors/shops you'll ask the Dev team 2 simple questions: 1. is there a maximum capacity it can hold & 2. are you sure? and then you head off and try to break it anyway. I'm just amazed someone didnt try to plow 1000+ items into one shop and never saved/reloaded that file. They probably did plow 1000+ items in, ran about a bit and did other things and never died/reloaded. It happens i suppose, but still a bit of a calamity.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going to blast Bioware for not having this title totally bug-free, because thats pretty much impossible due to the scope of the game and in  general i'm happy with the product i've purchased and am having fun with it. But on something as fundamental as vendor/shop code on an RPG, its pretty poor form


sounds more like a PC problem to me?


Yea definately.

Probier mal diesen Link für die PC-Version, aber stelle deine Fragen in englisch, dann ist die chance auf eine gute Antwort höher.http://social.biowar...tegory/58/index


Translation:

Try this link for the PC version, but put your question in English to have a better chance of a response.

(Have lived in Germany for 2 years or so, so have picked up the lingo)

Why are they bringing out new DLC when they haven't fixed the original game yet? God damn they fail! >_<

Because EA cares nothing about the games, only the amount of money they can squeeze out of the people buying them. It's simply greed, they will never fix this game I think, it would cost them money that they could br wasting on useless DLC and marketing bs.

Apparently, computer users and now PS3 users can get nearly-immediate response to game-ruining bugs, but us here in 360 land? We gotta wait for over half a year for any response at all.

 I thought the same thing. Looks like it's about time to formally give up. We've been patient long enough with absolutely no results.  Nothing more to say really.

Yup, I trading this in probably in a few weeks, it's not worth the bs. Instead of a fix they announce more DLC while doing nothing to fix the game, gredy f**kers, I  hope that they realize that they're losing the fans that have been loyal for years with their lack of support. Not that they care, but I won't be wasting my money supporting them anymore in the future, the Bioware I knew is officially dead, just EA remains.
