EA and BioWare make no secret of the issues with Mass Effect. We reveal what problems they are currently working on.
Although Mass Effect: Andromeda entertains hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide, there are still quite a few small issues in BioWare’s SciFi universe. From glitchy facial animations to bugged battles and unsolvable quests, everyone has probably encountered one annoyance or another. But what are the developers at BioWare currently working on? What will be included in the first patch for Mass Effect: Andromeda?
No patch notes, but first plans for a patch
Meanwhile, EA has released a list detailing some major issues that are currently being addressed.
Performance
Crossfire does not lead to a significant improvement in performance
Dolby Vision is currently disabled on PC
The image appears distorted in the 4:3 and 5:4 resolutions
Attempting to display the game in 16:9 or 16:10 can result in the game crashing
Performance may drop significantly in the Storm Canyons
Squad Members
Squad members can be repeatedly teleported to the player and follow them even when commanded not to
Interface
(Console) Objects in space can slowly rotate or “shake” when using the right control stick
Missions/Levels
(PS4) Repeatedly skipping the intro cinematic during the “Remnant City” mission may cause Ryder to get stuck in the air
During main missions, the game does not save often enough
We are aware of some areas where mission progress is not calculated correctly. Leaving the area and then returning can temporarily fix this.
General
When moving in a zig-zag, Ryder may get stuck in the wrong animations
Sound may disappear during gameplay. Exiting and restarting the game temporarily fixes this issue.
If a new Ryder is created immediately after leaving another save, some quest items from the journal may be transferred over, leading to further issues on the Hyperion.
It is emphasized that this list is not exhaustive, and they are aware of other issues; however, those listed here currently take priority.
It is still unclear whether fixes for all these problems will make it into the first patch. As soon as there is a finished update or plans regarding this, you will find the complete patch notes with us.
