Not being able to play 1.4084507% of the missions verses not being able to play 100% of the game itself. It's not aout how many are effected, but the severity of the issue. Grissom also got almost hourly updates, sometimes about nothing at all. I mean, the shear amount of how much effort they put into that fix shows.Eloise K wrote...
I.am.relaxed.
They got that bug fixed sooner because it affected every Italian copy of the game. Not 10 out of a hundred, every copy.
So, everybody who was pissed off was spoiled? On the basis of what criterion? On the fact that they got the bug fixed?
And by the way, I'm not by any means saying that BioWare shouldn't fix this bug, they MUST fix this bug because it's their fault. And this has nothing to do with the fact that I got this black screen only 6 or 7 days ago. I am still pissed off at it since as of now I don't know if the bug will affect ME2 again despite the fact that I deleted every damn gamesave.
Since you are at it, why don't you ask yourself how many Italians who speak English have made it to this forum?
Plus, if you google "black screen on ME3 xbox" you get few results and only one video on Youtube.
If you google " bug accademia Grissom" you will get way more results, there are at least a half dozen different forums discussing about this glitch.
As I already said, any bug that prevents EVERY paying customer to play her/his game must be fixed ASAP, but it is also obvious that a problem that affects more people gets the priority over a bug that affects few, plain and simple.
It was directly acknowledged within a day of having been posted (might have been 2 days, can't be sure). Then they were pampered with constant updates (four pages worth) with regards to the status of their fix. While this thread, posted a few days before hand, waited for weeks to just get a basic acknowledgement from Bioware, and then almost a month after that for someone to pop in and start collecting information on it. You can count the number of Bioware posts with useful info in this thread on one hand (it's four btw). From this tid bit of data it's not hard to extrapolate that they weren't even working on it until that point in time.
Just a FYI, EA_AgentX's post doesn't count since if they'd've taken the time to read the issue they would've realized we can't even get to that point.
If you go to the ER because one of your limbs got ripped off expecting treatment. Except the ER was too busy to help you, because they were focused on someone who showed after you got there, with only a paper cut.

Hey 1% of tires are exploding
EA....yeah.....some people don't like the way the decals look.....we'll get to the exploding tires problem once we've fleashed this decal issue out.
For the last time, the Grissom Academy bug only prevented you from playing 1.4% of the missions (even less than that for the entire game). It WAS NOT NEEDED (therefor non-essential) to complete the game.

We do not have a patch for this yet, but the team continues to work on a fix.
In the meantime as a work around, you can continue to play Mass Effect 3, but you do have to skip this mission. I know this is not ideal, but it does let you continue to play ME3 until a patch is ready. This mission is not part of the critical path, so the game can be completed without playing this mission.
Yes, it did effect an entire country, and it did detract from the overal story by not completing it; but it did not prevent you from playing the game altogether, let alone being able to see the main menu at all.Chris Priestly wrote...
All bugs are investigated by the team and are prioritized in a process called triage. Bugs are triaged based on how important they are to the game and how many people are encountering them. This means an issue can be extremely important if it effects a lot of people OR that an issue that effects a few people, but prevents them from playing the game can both be equally important. The team works to fix as many issues as possible in a given patch process. I want to reassure you all that BioWare IS working on fixing the issues you are reporting and we are working on patching to get you the fixes ASAP. We appreciate your patience and assistance as we work to resolve these issues.

Sorry, my bad. I should have said that *I* don't know what's causing this. Someone clearly does, and I'm tracking them down.
The Last time they even posted anything (back on page 72) in this thread was almost two months ago. Since this was posted right around the release date of the Resurgence Pack.Thomas Abram wrote...
Click for this post.
I am not belittling what the Grissom issue was. Only pointing out the inaccuracies in Bioware's statements and actions.
I honestly don't want to see the Grissom issue brought up any more.
It's dead (fixed), stop necro-ing it.
It took me well over an hour to find the posts and info I wanted. Please stop bringing this up.
Just to recap a few things:
- This is what Bioware is doing to us.
- They have top men working on this issue.
- And...
