14 DAY TRIAL // BioWare will soon release a brand new patch for Mass Effect 3 across the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms, which should finally fix the face import glitch encountered by players when bringing their Mass Effect 2 save game file into the new game, plus other problems.
Mass Effect 3 was released last month and, while the game was extremely stable across the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, players have encountered a few problems.
Chief among these issues was the face import error that popped up whenever a player of Mass Effect 2 wanted to import his save game file into the new title, and resulted in the loss of Shepard’s custom face.
Besides fixing this problem, the new patch solves an array of other glitches and crashes that kept on appearing in certain circumstances.
What’s more, at least on the PC, it also remedies a few problems that came up when only one of local accounts had bought the From Ashes DLC.
Check out the full list of things included in the newest Mass Effect 3 patch below.
- Fixed issues when in some cases Shepard’s customized facial features from ME1/ME2 may not be properly imported to ME3 - Fixed an issue when quickly and repeatedly selecting to Resume a Save could result in Player Level reset and a potential locking of powers. - Fixed an issue when selecting Multiplayer in the Main Menu while under a poor network connection could result in an unresponsive state. - Fixed a potential crash while accessing an in-game terminal from Eden Prime level. - Fixed an issue when attempting to login while Server is down. It would display a Server Down message and accepting the Server Shutdown message would shut down the game. - Fixed a potential memory crash while loading a Quick Save of a custom FemShep. - Fixed an issue when restarting missions and acquiring an above max amount of weapon mods results in displayed debug text on-screen. - Fixed an issue when an unresponsive game state could occur during transition after the Conduit level. - Fixed an issue when DLC game saves can be accessed from an account without DLC if another account on the same computer has access to the related DLC. (PC Only) - Fixed an issue when saves from different accounts on the same computer may become locked if one account has access to DLC which the other account does not. (PC Only) - Fixed an issue when potentially the game could enter unresponsive state when transitioning from the Holding Docks area to the Normandy Docks area of the Citadel. (PS3 Only)
The new Mass Effect 3 update goes live today, April 9, on the PC platform via the Origin digital distribution service.
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners will have to wait until tomorrow, April 10, to receive their own versions of the patch.
