What do you mean offloading?

I always changed my gear when I found something better if that's what you mean. I got a bad error where it always froze entering the Soul Arbiters side dungeon but they had a fix for it on the official forums. This is what one had to do to avoid it.

1. Go into the room with the book
2. Let game quick save
3. Quit game
4. Load game in the room.
5. Walk towards the book until the "touch book appears"
6. Pause and go to options
7. Turn off every checked box (vibrate, auto pick up...etc)
8. Turn all music and sound to zero
9. Lower gamma to half
10. leave menu (game will save)
11. Click book.

And Bluecast told me he had freezing issues I think and his version is the 360 so it's across both consoles people are having issues.

And I did every side dungeon, did you? It might be that I played it a lot more. In fact it didn't freeze once until after I got to the Kingdom of the Dead. So all through the Forge Lands initial stages it didn't.

Yeah, the first time it froze was opening a door to a place called the Lair of the Deposed King. Another side dungeon I was just exploring around getting my bearings on the area.

But then after I went back to the Forge Lands it froze there too on visits to it after leaving it for the first time. I also noticed it was when I was riding Despair a lot. And whenever the loading icon would appear on the screen there was an imminent risk of freezing.

Gah, I hope I don't run into these. For me, it happened when I was going to that sunken temple place.

Really??? i always thought that part was easy and stupid.

im a bit ashamed to admit my worst aggravating moment in gaming but fuck it. in Shenmue when u had to sneak into old warehouse number 8 at night. i was 11 years old and just couldnt fuckin do it. no matter what route i took i would get caught by the guards. i gave up and played jet set radio and sonic adventure for 3 months and gave shenmue another try and finally beat that part. i was so damn thrilled. the route through the old warehouse district that i used to beat that part i still use to this day when i play it. the moral or this story is i am a retard

They are running in a frenzy to patch this game on PS3/360 & PC. PS3 & Xbox 360 have the same issues. If there was ever a game to be torn to shreds by you for bugs not Bethseda this is it

Its really funny the one game everyone finds bugs in, and I've seen like 1, just goes to show stuff like this can totally miss someone.

Granted, I havn't played that far into it (played for about seven hours I think), but yeah, same for me, I haven't encountered much in the way of glitches. Only one I remember is Death's bird freezing in midair one time, but it's not like it was particularly game-affecting. Just a weird graphical quirk.

Not everything was universal but some things were. Luckily I never lost any data. But when later in the game and you go back to the cauldron. Don't unless you patch the game. That was universal meaning the game is just broken on that bit. If you ask why backtrack you don't have to just some like me do. Soul Arbiters maze is universal. But that's a side dungeon that is optional. Now this is one I didn't have an issue with but PS3 owners did is a certain lever in Judicators tomb won't work and breaks the game. So just be safe and patch it even if no issues yet.
