I've been doing some posting over last 2 days and I don't want to be OTT, so I'll start bothering them again in a couple of days... of course if someone else wants to message them today, then who am I to say it's a bad idea ![]()

Pig Bodine, what's the manufacture date of your console? I got a Jasper too, but these motherboards had four different disc drive models...

The first time, I simply went to character details on the pause menu.
The second time, I pressed X on the armor crafting bench.
Guess I won't be going down there again

20-Oct-2008 Wow, didn't realise it's been 6 years, and, touch wood, no problems with any game 'till now. That's quite a record. I remember going into a Blockbuster just after Xmas 2009 to buy it and the guy behind the counter bringing out a random console- and me having to get him to dig in the back and check the serial numbers, as I knew his store had one Jasper in stock, whilst he looked at me like I was a lunatic for knowing which motherboard I wanted... good times ![]()

Wow, just froze twice within 15 minutes, both times in the underforge of Skyhold.

I think if you play the game along time- you just start getting paranoid about where it will crash. I had a camp I needed to set up- pressed a it crashed, then reloaded and did it again, third time too, fourth... fine. I've taken one step and had it give up the ghost, so it seems to be fairly random, certainly on the 360.

Seems it is either a Philips-BenQ or Philips-LiteOn. With this MFR date, BenQ drives were really unusual, maybe these are the ones the game is having problems, but we need more confirmations from other people. On the other hand If your drive turns out to be a LiteOn then this could be some laser calibration problem and the game is requiring from the DVD drive more than any other game we have seen on the 360, or it could be anyhing

The 360 OS does not distinguish between the DVD drive and hard drive when reporting this error.
Just to clarify what I speak of, I'll tell a tale of 2008.
GTA IV came out, I started playing it. Unreadable disc error kept popping up. DVD drive was indeed iffy at that point. Only way I could get that fixed for free was forcing the 3 red lights.
A week later after getting it back from the repair centre, a trip which got the DVD drive replaced with a BenQ. I thought "Yay, now I can play", which was wrong.
Mr Unreadable appeared once more, the only thing I could think of was it may be hard drive thing. Removed that and could play uninterrupted. Hard drive back on, fail.
Replaced hard drive and normal service was resumed.
Tl;dr Might be a hard drive thing. Wouldn't surprise me if the installer wasn't doing it's job properly either. Hence why reinstall works for some.
Being on console we can't isolate issues all that well.

Good point; this could also be a HD problem since the console really doesn't have a specific HD failure message it may be reporting as Disc Unreadable

I just love what bioware write once:
There are also things that will prevent banter from firing entirely:
- Riding a mount
- Participating in a conversation
- Being in combat or close proximity to enemies (if you are seeing red on your mini-map, you may be blocked from hearing banter)
After patching I still run into party banter during the fighting....
And... I can see how Skyhold loads. So first sec only green grass, second bulding and npc. After more 5 sec i can see lighting/shadwos... But it still didnt crash like before patching.
Theres still are bugs, new and old. eh...

Wow, now that, as opposed to what you get from EA Help, is called analysing the problem... How can you check what type drive it is? And even then, I take it there is sweet F.A. that you can do about getting the game to work? Just wish Bioware admitted this was an issue, would be a start towards them being decent about the whole thing. Still wonder why it only has trouble with this one game.

And of course to play Dragon Age you've got to have it installed on the Hard Drive- so you can't test whether it's the drive by removing the Hard Drive and just inserting a play disc.

Hey Everyone,
This thread is going a little off the rails here so I wanted to pop in and get it back on track. We are following issues reported to us from users on all platforms, and this includes last gen. Patch 2 was focused on stability on all platforms (full patch notes), and are also looking at a number of fixes and improvements for future patches.
If you are experiencing problems, please report them on Answers HQ or tweet them to @dragonage. Unlike the BSN, these channels are geared towards providing troubleshooting and cataloguing issues from users. If you feel there might be an issue with the disc or product itself, you can also file a report here and our customer support personnel will do their best to help you.
If you notice that another user has already filed a similar complaint, don’t be discouraged from adding to their thread. This helps us keep better track of how many players are experiencing an issue and can better help our support staff troubleshoot the root cause.
Please note that the BSN does not offer troubleshooting services (apart from the help other people here kindly offer). Our devs come here on a volunteer basis to interact with fans and share stories with them, rather than to provide official support.
We appreciate your concerns and are working hard to address issues as they arise, but please remember that this forum is not the best place for you to make our staff aware of any problems you may be having.
These are currently the results of trying to contact EA help with the disc unreadable error-
http://answers.ea.co...ght/true#M14958
Just wanted to know if there is any update on whether patch 3 will fix this issue.

I re-installed the game to the HD of my 360, and what little errors I did have seemed to go away. Aside from running the thing till it freezes after 8+hrs, I've come across very few, if any issues - and it's been like that since I got the game.
I'm sorry people are having issues, guess this a YMMV issue; Just lurking on the forums till the coffee kicks in, then it's time for more DA:I.

I finally remembered to check the date on my Elite 360, its 2011. I'm guessing the last batch of Elites made, bought it when my original 360's hard drive died.
Tried to think of ways to improve the experience with the game, finally hooked up my 360 with an HDMI instead of the component Ive been using since I bought my first 360 and yeah, I feel stupid now. There is a difference, small but sharper and brighter/vibrant colours. Not sure if it improves load time or anything. I also played with the HD settings on my 360 and tv and it has made the game look nicer. I also downloaded the english voice pack on the off chance it may help. Too soon to say but I haven't had any dialogue issues since then.
I'm up to 25 hours with no freezes, crashes or any major issues.

This may make me seem like a douche, but I like how fast the Bisexual Cullen thread is moving up the ranks with positive light, while this thread is slowly dying without any actual progress.
I.. how are these two threads related?

They don't. I'm kinda tired right now. And still a little miffed that nothing has really been done for old gen. I'm weird.
Lol. Yep it would be up to BW to update us. I don't have much to update at the moment since there is no info about patch 3 and devs aren't really answering questions about old gen so situation hasn't changed ^^
