I bought mass effect 1 and 2 at the beginning of the summer, I beat ME1 completing all of the sidequests, main story, went to every planet, ect in 34 hours. I had noticed at the time that there had seemed to be some rendering problems. Things looked terrible, everything had jagged edges even with all of my setting set to ultra with 1080rez, textures would not render unless the camera was literaly inches away from the character's face, and many others. I patched the game and still had the problem. I eventually lost my patience and decided to ignore it and finish the game with the bugs. Luckily I was so in love with the game that I was kept on the edge of my seat despite constant bugs. After I beat the game I immediately converted my character to ME2 and started playing right away. I beat it twice with my Paragon character, and after beating project overlord I finally decided to make my Renegade Character (starting from ME1) As soon as I started my game I immediately saw the drastic changes and even more so the same glitches. I remember before playing any of the ME games that when it was ported to the PC many gamers where claiming that it was a bad port, and so I figured that this was the reason that (despite my game is patched) there are so many glitches. Just today I went on youtube and watched a video frapsed from the PC version of MassEffect and everything was rendered properly, all the glitches and graphical errors where gone. Does anybody know if there is a way to fix my problem? I'm running the Steam Version of ME1 on Windows7 64bit.


TL;DR: My ME1 is having extremely bad graphical errors and I have no clue how to fix this ****.

I have it too, It comes with the game. Mass Effect 1 was rather infamous for this.

Shame

Are you talking about the pixelated blocky and generally vomit inducing shadows on the faces in ME1? Turn off Dynamic Shadows or if you had patched it to 1.02 and the shadows are kinda chunky and hard-edged, same solution... turn off Dynamic Shadows. Other than that I have had no issues with either game's visuals and I am using my Nvidia CP to force AA on them both @ 1920 x 1200 rez on my Win7 Ultimate x64 machine.

You should also pop your system specs up to give a general idea how your PC should handle the game. A screenshot would help as well.

It would be great if you could supply a screenshot, so we can judge how 'normal' it is!



As Axis implies, the dynamic shadows are awful and should always be off. I have occasionally had LOD (level of detail) issues after patching however, and deleting my user configs fixed this up fine.

I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll post my settings and my computer specs.

I'll probably do that when I get home.

okay that was the problem. I turned DS off and it looks great.

Yeah the original values for Dynamic Shadows are borked. Mostly this has to do with the face and the way the light is reacting/shading it. It really looked abysmal. It was quickly figured out that changing a value in your .ini would fix/eliminate most of the issue but with patch 1.02 they incorporated that into the game. Do you have your game patched to 1.02? I know in your first post you said so but I am just wondering. Anyway, they basically removed those shadows from the face and it looks a lot better but if your Shepard is baldy, like mine was, the hard edged resulting shadows were pretty distracting as well. I ended up turning off Dynamic Shadows for that run. I recently ran through with a girly girl girl Shep with short red hair and was able to leave Dynamic Shadows on as I didn't find hard shadows cruising around her skull like I did with my baldy male. I could still see chunky shadows at times crossing her face but all in all it was much less of a distraction so I left it on and was satisfied. Anyway, glad it helped you out. ME2 doesn't seem to suffer from any of this (thumbs up to Bioware for not letting a 3rd party do the PC port) and Dynamic Shadows works very well for me.
