If Bioware had done the job properly in the first place this whole "wheres the friggin patch" business wouldnt be happening!!..Im sick of developers releasing unfinshed games..and if your publishers demand the game to be released unfinshed tell them to go to hell !....its not ok to sell a shirt with a cuff missing ..its not ok to sell lace up shoes with no laces...ITS NOT OK TO RELEASE UNFINISHED GAMES!!!!!!!!!.....you have a whole community up in arms because you ALLOWED your game to be released unfinished!..There Bioware ..this is one unsatisfied PAYING CUSTOMER!

I don't know what delusional 'perfect' world you are living in, but it clearly isn't earth. To use dialogue which I think you will understand. NO GAME WILL EVER GET RELEASED BUG FREE... if you think they will then you clearly are deluded and should just save yourself the anxiety and stop playing games.

"You have a whole community up in arms"
Do they? Really?
*looks at topic page count*
Page count disagrees with this assumption, if they DID have the whole community up in arms, this topic would be in the hundreds by now. Hell it hasn't even hit page 20 yet.

As has been said numerous times in this post and others, some people aren't experiencing any of these issues, some only a few of them.

Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the people that have been having the severe issues, personally I've been lucky with just a few freezes here and there as well as a couple of other minor glitches, but I've witnessed such things in pretty much MOST games I've ever played, not just ME2. Computer games can be really complex things and it can be tough sometimes to pinpoint what is causing issues, specially if people aren't having them. Sometimes these bugs can be to some extent out of Game companies hands and can be caused by hardware issues and as such sometimes it can require a patch for the hardware to fix an issue rather than the software, not saying this is likely the case in this instance, but as you brought up the topic of 'games' in general, figured you need to be reminded of this.

Comparing making of games to making shirts with cuffs or shoes with laces clearly shows you don't have a clue if your going to use such poor examples. A game missing such prime components in relation to that example WOULD have been spotted during testing and fixed, I imagine there possibly were such things but in a game akin to Mass Effect 2 there are way more variables that can cause trouble and might slip through.

A prime example, the 'stuck in the air' glitch, I believe this all comes about from the character approaching a certain object from a certain point and catching the glitch at the right point. This happens in more games than just Mass Effect and no doubt will for future games until someone works out a way to ensure it can't.

So just to close my statement, like I said at the start, if you think games will ever be released bug free, then you need to stop playing games because I highly doubt they ever will.



Your full of crap..why is it so hard to finish a game before its released??...yes people make mistakes and may miss things ...but come on of late games have been released effectivley broken you wouldnt buy a broken washing machine or the like why should I be expected to part with my cash for what amounts to an item that does not work properly!

Oh, so if I chose to romance Liara in the comic, her portrait is supposed to appear in my cabin and not Kaiden's? Huh. And here I was thinking that Bioware thought it more appropriate to have the person you left behind in your cabin so you wouldn't forget.


Speaking as an owner of both the Xbox and PS3 versions of the game, I thought the same way.  In the Xbox 360 version, I had already played dozens of hours as Sheperd and chosen to romance Liara.  When I got to my personal quarters in ME2, it was a poignant emotional callback to see Liara's portrait on my desk.  A silent reminder that even though I died (technically), and I had no contact with her...my Sheperd still thought fondly of Liara.

In the PS3 version, the relationship is about 7 cells in a motion comic.  The emotional connection, and content of the conversations with your beau from the first game in the series is just absent.  As you talk to your crew in Mass Effect, you either like their opinions, or don't.  In the romance department, I got the impression that BioWare wanted players to be emotionally engaged with their partner, that is to say ideologically in agreement with them.  The theme of acceptance of diversity is rampant through the Mass Effect writing.  Humans are eyed with distrust, and you as a human can return the favor, or be a pleasant surprise to the skeptics.  Your crew displays the same spectrum of attitudes.

Anyway, I figured Kaiden was on my desk because in the comic I chose him as the martyr.  If you choose Ashley, I assumed it would be her in the frame.  I thought the portrait was a reminder of friends lost.

OH and remember the saying "A watched pot never boils."?  I want ME2 to be patched just as much as the next gamer, but seriously folks...  The patch is not being purposely delayed, no more than BioWare maliciously released a game that *may* eat your saves.  The approval process for DLC is arduous and clearly favors first-party developers who have constant access to it.  Then comes the exchange of funds for hosting the updates and DLC.  The process is what it is though.  It's obvious the patch is coming, and can't feasibly arrive any sooner.  Just accept that BioWare will update the community as soon as the patch passes certification and is ready for deployment/download.  Daily updates of "Still waiting for word from Sony!" or "Patch failed cert...resubmitting with recommended changes" would not speed the process up any more.

I assumed this as well. Whoever lays down their life for the mission ends up on my desk. There have been occasions though, where the photo doesn't exist on the desk... I can't remember the string of choices that leads to that though. I've never seen Liara on the desk... granted I almost always choose to put the mission first.

This was posted ten days ago, but it still hasn't been apporved? We won't be getting it until it is apporoved right? Also, will anything be done about the sound problem?

I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering.

I've noticed that "the freeze problem"/"corrupted data problem" only occurs if you've been playing Mass Effect 2 for several hours. This can't be entirely true. Yesterday I played for half an hour and suddenly the screen froze just as I was about to save the game.



The only option was to restart my console, but as I entered the game again my save data was corrupted, and the only option was to begin a "New Game". :(



I've been playing 60 hours and all of a sudden all my Mass Effect 2 saves are corrupted...



I truly hope this can been fixed.

Exactly! Even though in both of my play throughs of ME2 I was still romancing Liara, I fear that if I romance anyone that actually is one of the official characters you can romance, Shepard will put the photo of Kaidan face down. Now, since my Shepard had no romantic interest in him, why would she choose to put a photo of him away when all she's doing is romancing someone else who might very well know that she didn't have any relationship with him? 

I'm almost surprised that there wasn't a moment in Lair of the Shadow Broker where Liara takes note of the portrait of herself in Shepard's quarters. Having it be Kaidan would have been most awkward.

Its not an issue that will be addressed in the patch, but Bioware are aware of it, but it'll take time to sort out (if it ever does get sorted out) because they have to play the whole game to find the problem.

I was too lazy to manually count how many cases of corrupted save game files there have been reported on this forum so I created the following poll:

Are you experiencing ME2 freezes and/or corrupted game save files on PS3?

...just to get an idea how many people this does affect.

I know that it's not very scientific to promote this poll on technical support pages as people reading these pages typically have some technical problems and hence the results might be a bit biased.  ...but I believe that there are also many of us who are visiting this particular thread to scout news on the patch.

Bioware is aware of the issue and are looking into it, but will probably not be in the current patch. It will probably be in the next one especially since it will require a full play through in order to determine what is the issue. I also believe that they are looking into the audio sync issue as well.

Shame it takes so long. I personally am waiting to start my next NG+ playthrough since I would like it to work as intended. I think when you import a ME2 character file, it isn't reading it properly.

In the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 is a lot of bugs and glitches. I have personally met them more than a hundred. These flaws are very much spoil the gaming experience.

During the ride to the "Hammerhead" ,mission "Project Overlord" I saw a lot of glitches. Ground textures look too square and the car fall through objects.

During the mission of loyalty Thain Krios I met a worker and chose the option of dialogue, suddenly he was gone and I could do nothing.

I've never been so worried about playing a game in my life. Mass Effect 2 is seriously on the back burner at the moment. I'm contemplating returning my copy and just bargain binning it when it's cheap. If Bioware was a face, I'd punch it.

If you can save, save on a different spot and restart the game. Hopefully there was no damage. If there was, I hope you were able to back up your file.

I encountered this once before. I simply restarted the PS3 and it was gone. No corruption.

Hey Chris, I was curious if u guys will be able to fix the insanity trophy glitch problems and ng+ features after this patch is done? Beat the game tonight and must say it was a good game despite needing to take steps to make sure my files didn't go wonky. Was gonna make a Adept on Insanity mode but i think i may just do another normal mode file till the insanity mode gets fixed. Cause like i said ppl reported it has a attidute problem at times.
