Well...I first made a post about this 9 months ago. I have periodically checked back here to see if any progress was made on fixing this bug. No progress was made. I figure I spent more than $100 on DAI and DAII with all the DLC. That will be the last $100 Bioware/EA ever sees from me. It is just a game...but in most industries if a company sells you a defective product they fix it or give you your money back. Not this industry...so the only thing that we as consumers can do is to make sure that we remember who sold us defective games and not give them our money again. Or as my Granny use to say "Some other fool may come along and give them more money.....but it won't be this fool."

Yeah, I'm honestly, legitimately disappointed that it's been this long and they still haven't fixed it yet.  I feel like I flushed $10 down the toilet, you know?  It's a headache replaying entire sections to see where exactly the glitch happens, then trying endlessly to get a working save past that part.  I'm kind of happy I never went through with wanting to be a game tester when I was younger...

I'm wondering if your sibling dies in the deep roads, if you can still do both MOTA and Legacy without it corrupting. Also, if the bug seems to happen with your sibling, I wonder if it would still corrupt if you choose NOT to bring them along on MOTA and Legacy.

So I haven't checked back here in a while and my post is a ways back, which means I'll share briefly what happens with me. I have a bunch of saves, I'm very cautious when it comes to games that have choices that matter. I have a save before I started the MotA DLC, it is not corrupt. I can load it any time no problem. All saves after that, which take place in the MotA DLC, are corrupt. I don't know the exact details of party members and choices etc anymore like some people, but that's what I know. I wish that BioWare would respond on this forum or something to let us know that they're reading what we've said and experienced. I still love their games, and I think that they do an amazing job at making them and the stories that drive the game, I'm disappointed in their apparent lack of concern with something this serious. I plan on trying to do the MotA DLC again and try and finish my perfect playthrough (so perfect, it's perfect all the way through DA:O and up to the bug in DA2), something I don't want to do again.

Just completed the game again on my new account, but none of the save files are corrupt what happens is hawke shows up in his mansion like with the normal end of game and starts talking to meredith following the conversation path of the final fight and then freezes, but none of the files are corrupt? is this what's happening to everybody else on this because surely if they data isn't corrupted it can still be transferred into DA3?

Most of the people here have the same problem I discussed above your post.  The game plays normal for almost the entire thing, then at some point, usually during the DLC (MotA to be specific), the game files will become corrupt and not able to load.  The game may freeze (which happened to me), but the problem is when the files saved during the DLC are attempted to load, they say the file is corrupt.  I've never had a problem with the game freezing at the end like you say, knock on wood.

Hmmm I guess I'm lucky that hasn't happened to me, I'll keep having a look around to see if what happened to me has happened to other people.
I hope the MotA issue gets fixed before DA3 is ever released as it would be really harsh for people not to be able to transfer their save data from DA:O and DA2 after the 100 odd hours spent on the playthrough. Thanks fo you're help though Don, I'm atleast partly grateful for the fact what has happened to so many after MotA hasn't happened to me, as I personally loved MotA and would be extremely disappointed if I had to avoid it just to get a playthrough that works.

Count another "victim " here.

It's really sad to see how many topics there are about this issue and how Bioware is doing nothing about it.

My corruption files appear at Legacy bossfight and also a little earlier.

Loved the DoA and DA II so it is very frustrating knowing tha ti can't trust Bioware for the future....

Hmm...

I've done Mota without Carver (was anyway unavailable) but i dragged him along in Legacy, at it was the logical thing to do...

He has his dialogs....  interacts just fine until the saves get corrupted (Legacy endgame)

I'll try to make another run leaving him to play the Templar, i might bring Anders instead...

The game is broken anyway, and i feel robbed.

Luckyly, Post game files for my 2 charatchers appear to be uncorrupted so far.

[fervega]

Update. replayed Legacy and finished (without dying of course...), used different saves.

After completing the part of the quest in the Karta's hideout all files begin to get corrupted.

The bug might be related to the possibility to go back to Kirkwall and then continue the quest in a second moment, who knows...

What's sure is that if you aim at a 100% completion of the game and all the DLCs you are pretty sure you get corupted files making it impossbile to continue play from then on.

No hopes it will ever be fixed, so my advice is forget the dlc and possibly buy a resale / used game.

[Browneye_Vamp84]

I have a two Post-Campaign saves that aren't corrupted, but later became corrupted after finishing MOTA after finishing the main game and Legacy. Another save got corrupted after doing Legacy during Act 3 and later right before the final confrontation in main game I wasn't able to save. So, I have no idea.

[hideo_sakaguchi]

I hope DA 3 has something like the Genesis comic from Mass Effect 2 for the DA 2 DLC. I've already had to replay my game over because stupid MotA corrupted my saves. I have a post game save with neither DLC quest started and it sucks. I really want to play them again (I thought they were both awesome) but I don't want my files getting corrupted again.

If Bioware can't fix the issue (which it looks like they can't, given that it's been almost an entire year now...) they should at least give us the option of picking our choices for the two DLCs when Dragon Age 3 comes out.

Not sure about that Hideo.... there are A:LOT of choices in thie game..

[TEWR]

Ah, I see this problem still exists. Well allow me to throw in some details.

The problem has little to do with MotA itself, but rather by the player initiating the second DLC in a playthrough -- be it Legacy or MotA, depending on which you complete first.

Meaning that you can only play one DLC per playthrough, while leaving the other one to essentially rot.

In addition, the save corruption also seems to trigger and unending loading screen from the Docks to the Gallows once the Last Straw is initiated. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem for me as it's happened before. The solution to it was always to save before leaving the area and turn off the game if the problem arose. Then after a bit, I'd turn the game back on and try again, where I'd then be able to continue on.

Now though, the file corruption renders me unable to do such a thing and makes the unending loading screen always happen. If I want to continue on, I can't turn off my game -- because if I do, I can't re-enter where I last saved due to a corrupted game. And if I experience the unending loading screen, then I'm no longer able to play the game.

So yea... and given how Bioware has claimed they'll still patch DAII but haven't actually made much of an effort to show such a thing -- instead focusing on their next project -- then it actually kinda leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

Especially since... well... would a corrupted game file that's imported even register correctly?

To be fair they didn't patch PC dlc authorization issues for Origins until the 3rd or 4th patch for DA2 was out. Hope still stands, I have been lucky and never had corruption issues in my playthroughs with both DLCs however.

[Browneye_Vamp84]

Bad taste indeed.

No what I meant is a Genesis-like comic that just covers the two DLC quests.  That way you can beat DA 2 (with no DLC), import that into DA 3 and cover any DLC-related crap that might be important to DA 3 (maybe like Talis).

What!? The MOTA and Legacy DLC corrupt save bug still hasn't been fixed yet for the PS3? Damn I was about to buy MOTA too, that really sucks. ):

Yeah that's why I haven't bothered with the latest Mass Effect 3 DLC to be honest.  I'd rather get the DLC I already paid twenty bucks for to work properly first.

Yeah, I agree :/

so bioware have choose to ignore this problem and focus on DA3.

[DarkJokerOfAmuro]

Ok try number ****ing THREE! since I made ANOTHER save file....this time deleting and reinstalling everything one at a time, as well as starting a file first, and adding the large quest dlcs after wards. I wont play MoTA until after I beat the main game....which hopefully it wont corrupt beforehand...but you can bet your *** i'm gonna make gonna make copies of the save file before it usually happens...which is usually during the main either before or DURING in the Gallows.

[Jtnan3]

I had beaten the game 100% for each type of character. Played Legacy (after the main game was done) Then after a couple months MoTA came out and I played and beat it with every character I had. I was also at that time backing up all my data to an external HD. unfortunately at the end of MoTA when I saved it and then transferred it to my external HD thats when the corruption happened. It has been months since that has happened and I still havent gotten the motivation to play through all of it again =/ I loved DA:O (which thank god I still have those files) but DA:II became so repetitive that it was boring. For me to go 100% again would be a huge grind.

Like what The Ethereal Writer Redux said. Wonder if the corrupt file will still import. If thats the case then problem is kind of solved for all those who have corrupt game saves

[ZincAlloy]

Wow you know what. I AM NEVER BUYING ANOTHER BIOWARE game as long as I live. I've been working on platinuming DA2 on my PS3. I had EVERYTHING 100%ed and beat the MOTA DLC before beating my game. Of course my PS+ didn't backup my saves last night and now ALL my saves are corrupted. I'm not backtracking to the beginning of the game to beat this game a 3rd time for the platinum. Bioware you need to fix this. Release 1.06 or your company is dead to me. This is beyond ridiculous.
I sunk 2 playthroughs in DA:O and 2+ in DA2, and 2 in Mass Effect 2. I AM NEVER playing another until this game is fixed.

TOTALLY AGREE! It also happens with Dragon age origins, they never repair the thropy for killing dethspawns, these two tropies still left to get the platinum.
