Hey people,

So I have started my 11th or 12th playthough of Mass Effect, this time, first time starting with Female Shepard and running a TexMod script with Garrus Face Fix package found on these forums.

I am not exactly sure that TexMod is causing these glitches, however I am sure that there were a bit too many and bit too strange for average gameplay glitches I found before.

First thing I noticed is that sometimes letters go missing or turn into solid boxes, but OK - Font errors can be frequent with textures changed with external script.

Then, I found out that I could NOT use a Paragon reply to Jeong at Feros (one saying "Look at big picture"), despite having my Charm skill maxed out (shortly afterwards I was able to use full Paragon replies through conversation with Rear Admiral who inspects your ship).

This is where things got weird.

I was having Garrus and Wrex in my team on Feros. Just as we entered the last room where you cut the ship's claw with the door, I noticed that when firefight started... Wrex wasn't there.

He just simply disappeared and HUD acted like that one time in the beginning when Jenkins gets killed.

Here are some screenshots I took:
This one shows the HUD with empty spot on the right were Wrex was.

On this one you can see the leveling screen with Wrex's place empty.

When you get halfway through the room, the two buddies are supposed to comment in the middle of the cutscene. It ended up as Garrus commenting his own sentence ;
"This looks like the containment lab"
And immediately afterwards "Maybe we could use something here [to cut the claw off]". It was two days ago so I don't remember the exact words.

Saving and then loading did fix the problem, but you can't save and load in middle of the firefight I was supposed to do with a teammate missing (rather powerful one, I might add).

Also, check this - after I finished with SPECTRE initiation, I went to the ship, conversed with everybody, and when I got to the Requisition officer, I noticed that right above  Avenger III and Kessler II basic weapons, he was selling Spectre Master Gear VII weapons. I had only maybe 10.000 credits at the time and was some low level (don't remember exactly).

I have previously loaded and finished a game with level 50 Character, saved before I uninstalled-reinstalled the game for whatever reason. So now I have a level 60 character in my Careers list, but I cannot choose a difficulty above Veteran. I suppose this would have something to do with that Master Gear weapons being sold right away at both Requisition officer and C-Sec merchant.

I have also noticed that in cutscenes and in the game, characters will sometimes appear to be holding the stock Kessler I pistol in their hand, even though they are not supposed to have any weapons equipped at that time, such as when Jeong was first conversed with, he scratched his head and pistol clippled right through it, also his fingers were straight, not gripped around a gun handle as usual.

And it also happened with Garrus on few missions where, after clearing the area, we holster our weapons but the pistol simply appears in his would-be-empty hand (even though he has a totally different pistol actually equipped).

There was also an issue where a few Turians on Noveria all had the same, and a bit strangely lit face, part where nose and above is is light-brownish color, and mouth and jaw are dark-brown color as if they were not lit by the environment lightning (like the rest of the face). I'm pretty sure I have not seen that kind of Turian face before, and not on multiple Turians either.

So that's about it for now, if anybody encountered any of these before, would you let me know if you figured out the cause and cure? Thanks!

TexMod and Face Fix package are downloaded from this forum, will find links if needed.

System running (though, I don't think it matters much),
AMD Athlon II 7750+ Black Edition (Kuma core)
AMD ATI Radeon 4670 (PowerColor's edition, with 512MB of GDDR3).
Gigabyte M52L-S3P motherboard
2 GB RAM (GoodRam I think, not sure),
Integrated Realtech 8 channel sound card

I don't think rest really matters.

Operating system is Windows 7 final version, up to date, 32 bit.

Uhh that's it, let me know what you think.

Req Officer: As long as you have the "Rich" achievement, Spectre Master Gear will always be available for you to purchase right from the very beginning of the game, regardless of how many creds you have.

As for all other problems, I can only suggest switching off texmod and facefix, and seeing if that resolves the issues. Although they are downloaded from this forum, they are not official patches or mods, but instead are 3rd party mods. If you want more support for them, you could try posting in the relevant texmod thread, or contacting the creator.
