Strange issue whereby some certain equipment items on both my main and Alister have
disappeared?

My main (Human Noble) lost his gloves and Alister lost his shield and boots.

I am about 17 hours in and if I load an earlier save game (only a few hours in) all the gear
is on my characters.

Any ideas?

[Grrrumbl]

Same problem occurred with me. Just made a post. shoes dissappearing during Dwarf Noble Origin. And first playthrough Wynne running without all of a sudden. (Not sure but I think I had a similar problem with Alistair)

[Ethel Reptile]

Me too, except that when I go back to earlier loads the screen shot shows the equipment, but when I load it it's gone!

[shannox]

And now it happened to me. Alister is buck naked, missing most of his weapons, and my main lost his staff. What the hell?

[Vulcor]

Not only equipment is dissapearing. I have all addons and one of them i bought.

For a day ago the game downloaded some new content. A daggar as thank you gift for purchasing an addon. But that messed up my game and my mage was nearly naked but worst part is that my wardens keep where i had stashed lots of items was gone. The keep is no longer to be found on the map. So that was an odd trade, , give me a dagger as thank you for buying wardens keep, that dissapear when i got the dagger.

I had the same problem at one point, but after turning off and restarting the game, I had everything back. It was really weird because the screenshots at the save points clearly showed that I had a shield on my back, but when I loaded the save...no shield.



But yeah, quit out of the game completely. Posted about it here. Then went back into the game and poof my equipment was back again.

Argh. I just decided to live with it the first time this happened, but it's now happened twice in two days. This is a game-breaking bug. I've had my best sword with my best runes disappear, as well as my best mage staff. Prior, it had been Alistair's equipment disappearing. What garbage.

EA is subtly telling you to play this single player game online. That's all.

I haven't been losing items on the same scale but my city elf rogue keeps losing his dusk ring, which is rather infuriating. It would be taking realism to extremes if I discovered that my character was actually forgetful and dropped his ring at camp.

Or our characters are being stolen from by the thieves that rove accross Ferelden.



It's weird, because I've had no problems with DLC. The items which have disappeared for me were launch-day non-DLC content.

I have given up on 'quest' DLC (Warden's Keep and Stone Prisoner). They won't work, and until they do, I will play without purchasing any other DLC quests.

[MingWolf]

I had a problem similar to this a few days back. It all had to do with my DLC-related content. Found out it was because, for several days at any given time, my game had trouble connecting to my account. So my DLC items went poof, and both my Warden's Keep and Stone Prisoner quests resetted. In the end, I simply loaded up an older save when things got back to normal.

[Cenzored]

Great to hear my problem is is shared with many others.... My mages staff disappeared in my load game, and when i try to load a previous save, it is still gone! This staff has cost me a fortune, and really really really hate it if its gone! What is this crap? Can we get direct techical support for this or not?

[Cenzored]

Yes, its a bug. Apparently solving the problem is done by just restarting the game. As simple as that, at least that is working for me. Still strange though.

[Ags7682]

Sadly, restarting the game inn't really an option for those of us who have played days/hours since the event occurred.

[Cenzored]

no, i mean, if you realise your equipment is missing, by loading the last saved game. You must then restart the game, and load the last saved game. My equipment came back as soon as i did so.

[Yst]

Correction on my part: my missing items *were* DLC content. They were Warden's Keep drops/items which I'd long since forgotten were from Warden's Keep. They disappeared after a series of in-game timeouts connecting to EA's servers. Presumably, this is intended functionality.

Correct, that is as intended (to prevent piracy); it disables unauthenticated DLC.

Fascinating. So if EA has trouble with their servers, those playing the game risk having their game messed up - just to avoid "piracy"? 
What is really the point with authenticating DLC every time you play the game - if you pay for it, why do you have to reauthorize it every time you play? COULD it be that EA wants us to hook up to their servers, so that they can collect information about the users they can sell to 3rd party vendors?

The DLC distribution system is the most overrated entity since Judas Iscariot won the "best disciple" competition around year 33 A.D.
It pains me that all that fantastic stuff which greatly adds to the gaming experience is marred by a draconic system that does nothing else than cause a lot of problems for the users.

Well. I don't know what to say. Except that this strikes me as the worst design feature I have ever encountered in over 20 years of gaming. If my online connection (which it was not, in this case, as I had other online services running persistently and router logs showed no blips), or EA's servers, or the connection between the two, experience connectivity issues at any time in an 80 hour playthrough...my offline items - which I paid for - get deleted. How long has it been since Steam got online purchasing right? And how does a *massive* producer with unlimited resources get it so wrong at this point in history.

To be honest, you must have missed Fallout 3 and the other Games for Windows: Live games. Any game with DLC (on PC especially) requires you to be connected to the internet at all times to play and it's similar with the XBox 360 for certain content. Whether it's the worst or not, it's been around for 4 years or so and isn't likely going anywhere.

I just lost my DLC staff. If I load older saves where, judging by the screenshot, it should still be there, the save game is overwritten with a "staff-less" one. To put it bluntly: I want either my damn staff back or my money.

I'm really not at all sure what to say in response to that.  It's certainly one of the more outrageous claims I've seen lately.

That's totally untrue, we've even had Bioware devs (Jason Leong) state categorically that people shouldn't need to be online to play DLC. Also the 360 doesn't require you to be online either.
