Topic: Dragon Age Save File?

So, I just replaced my PS4 hard drive and now my Dragon Age Inquisition save file won't work? I keep getting and error message when I go to load it saying can't access in-till game is fully installed.

The game is fully installed so I'm not sure why it keeps saying this? I have the retail version so all it had to do was install and download the latest update/patch which I have done.

I have read that it could have to do with the deluxe edition DLC which I have. My save has the DLC stuff on it but my PS4 is acting like it's not on their so it won't load the save? I re-downloaded the DLC but still won't work.

This is a 70+ hour save file...

Well that's ridiculous. I assume you've already done this but I would check everything over just once more with a level head and logically go through the process of thinking about what could possibly have gone wrong.

But yeah, what a pain in the arse. Hopefully you've just missed something and this isn't the end for your save!

I deleted my save (It's still on the cloud) and went in to the game just to see what would happen. I can start a new game but if I hover over the multiplayer icon that same kinda message pops up saying can't play this part of the game in-till the game is fully installed? I'm at a loss...

All my other games and saves are working fine. I guess tomorrow I will try deleting everything DA related and reinstalling and see what happens.

Yeah that seems sensible. Maybe the game just didn't install correctly or something? We can hope!

I deleted everything DA related and then reinstalled everything and it still won't work... This is the only game that won't read my save after replacing my HD so I know it's not the HD. This is on BioWare/EA and I'm very upset.

It won't let me play the online mode regardless if I try to use my old save or make a new one. It just keeps saying "can't access in-till game is fully installed" which it is. I'm not really interested it that mode anyways but why can't I play it?

70 hours put in to this game just gone. To make it worse when I'm in the game and hit load it brings up my save which says my level and how many hours I have played. It just won't freaking load it when I hit load... How can it be on there and list my stats but I can't play it?

@Splat: Man that is bad if it was me I would totally take the game back and demand a refund but that's me. The only thing I can think of is maybe contacting EA.

Yeah at this point I dare say your best bet is to contact EA and see what they say. I fear they may just tell you to speak to Sony, though, and vice versa if you start with Sony, as it'll likely be a problem that's too specific for anyone you can speak to over the phone.

Just a quick follow up @Splat, and just to be sure: are you aware that you can check how much of the game is installed by pressing options on its icon and then information? I'm sure you are, but worth asking anyway!

Yeah, I have checked like a 100 times just to make sure. The full 45 GB's plus the patch are on there. The download notification even popped up saying installed. It just doesn't make any sense? I fear I'm just SOL...

I finally got it to work haha. I talked to a guy on another site that had the same problem. He said instead of trying to play it right away after installing wait a few days for the server and your save to get on the same page and it worked.

I really didn't want to start a new game just to play the DLC...

Sweet, glad that everything worked out for you.

@Splat: this just happened to be haha but what exactly do you mean wait a few days? After a few days it was just normal and you can play everything with no problems?

Yeah, after you reinstall the game don't try to play if for a few days. I really don't know what the deal is but it worked for me and the guy who told me about it on another site. Good luck...
