I love the Quick Slots that are used in ME2.  But changing what is in them makes the game crash at odd times.
This typically happens during battles.  I decide I need a different power on quick access, but when I try to click and drag - the game crashes to the desktop.

Less frequently, the game will crash regardless of if I'm in battle or not.  This is very very rare - but it has happened.  However, being in battle is a guaranteed way to crash via the Quick Slot bar.

At first I thought it was my computer, my system used to be pretty old.  I've just updated, and I was hoping many of my problems in ME1 and ME2 would be resolved.  Both load and function beautifully on my new system.  Yet, this bug persists.  

Has anyone else experienced this problem? 

I've included my system information just in case.  But considering that the game runs without so much as a hiccup - I don't think it's my system.  Just the one bug.

This is a problem that's been in the game since release.

The crash typically occurs when rearranging which quick slot a power is in. For example your adept might have push in quick slot 3, and you decide to rearrange it to put push on slot 1. You might try to pause and drag push from slot 3 to slot 1, only to hard crash the application.

The best way to avoid this is to instead pause and drag push from the lower power bar up to slot 1. So you would have two copies of push in your quick bar. Then replace the instance of push in slot 3, with some other power also by dragging from the lower power bar. Be careful not to click or drag them within the quick bar once released.

Its also best to avoid doing any changes when yours or your companions powers are in cooldown. You might also have noticed the bug where trying to drag a power from the lower power bar, picks completely the wrong power (it seems to click_drag in completely the wrong region of the screen).

Related or not this bug has also been there since release. The best way to fix this is just to fire a couple of powers off into space until the game sorts itself out and you can finally click_drag the correct power.

A real shame these haven't been fixed. Especially considering it can hard crash ME2 and is so easily repeatable.

Thanks for the information!

Hopefully a patch will come out someday that will fix this.

I tend to crash my game at the most inconvenient moments.

I use that quick save feature a LOT.

Its been a long long time, and there is still no patch kinda sucks :( game crash's if you try and minimize it also if you have it so your game is windowed full screen, it doesn't allow you to drag from the bottom to the top..

Because people like you post your complaint on the forums, instead of dealing with EA support. These forums are user to user support, and if you come here you will be given a workaround by those of us who have figured one out. Go to EA support, then you will get a case logged for the fault, and when they build up the numbers, then they will start looking at spending the ersources for a bug fix.
The workaround is a simple one, set up the power hotkeys at the start of the mision, before you actually use any of the powers. Use any power thats listed on there, and it will crash when you try to rearrange them.
