Moreover, apart from the above described critical issue, the game is riddled with a lot of other major and minor bugs, such as, for example, that I can't play the same Sheppard i've played since 2007 or the fact that my decisions made in previous games are not being taken into account.

That comment may have been said a humorous intent, but to me it seemed just irresponsible.
Unfortunately the only thing people can do is wait.

We will be lucky if BioWare fixes the bug within this month. It's a big problem and this is why they don't give us informations. Prepare to save the world from reapers starting from April the 10th...NeoBerserKer84 wrote...
I hope in this week Bioware solve the problem, then we must only wait until Microsoft will deploy the patch. We'll be lucky if this will happen on this month...

Hi, all!
It's been a while since I posted, but I unfortunately don't have an update for you yet. We're still working on it.
Do you already have an idea on the "nature" of the issue or is it still unknown?
Please continue to keep us informed, thank you.

That's not how you treat your customers. Mass Effect 3 then takes 9.5 as a vote? But we're kidding!?
all eagerly await the patch to play "maybe" to a game COMPLETE

Hi, all! Sorry for the lack of updates.
We have had different members of the team working 24 hours a day to try to understand this issue. What I'm going to say next is going to sound illogical, given the frequency of the issue, but it's the truth: this is a very, very complicated issue.
It *seems* like a "race condition". That is, the outcome of a function is dependent upon very specific timing and output of other functions. As others have mentioned, this doesn't seem to affect other language builds... so that complicates things further.
I understand your frustration.
Please know that we're continuing to work on this, though. I can't promise anything (asking for an ETA for these sorts of things is like asking how long it will take to find your lost keys) but hopefully we'll have more information soon.

I found on the web at: http://searchstorage.../race-condition
In computer memory or storage, a race condition may occur if commands to read and write a large amount of data are received at almost the same instant, and the machine attempts to overwrite some or all of the old data while that old data is still being read. The result may be one or more of the following: a computer crash. An "illegal operation," notification and shutdown of the program, errors reading the old data, or errors writing the new data. This can be prevented by serialization of memory or storage access, such that if read and write commands are received close together, the read command is executed and completed first, by default.

Well guys maybe a find a way to know what's the problem is: All we need is an xbox "vergine":if you know someone with an xbox that has never been connected to internet (without any live patch/new dashboard) we can easily know if the problem is the xbox or the italian copy of the game.An xbox "vergine" is the same in Italy and in America and also in India etc. etc.

I answer you in italian becuse no time now:se sei veramente sicuro che non sia mai stata connessa ad internet e se hai tempo fallo sto tentativo.Purtroppo non credo tu abbia la possibilità di trasferire i salvataggi con la chiavetta in quanto la vecchia xbox necessiterebbe almeno dell'aggiornamento fatto 2 o 3 dashboard fa...Se hai tempo e voglia di arrivare fino alla misisone all'accademia.....Anzi senza hd è pure meglio così capiamo 2 cose al prezzo di una.finalfabio79 wrote...

I hope everyone else here realizes how lucky they actually are to be able to play the game. Some people chose to stop playing the game because of that bug and I think it's ridiculous since other people actually cannot play the game at all. I'm enjoying the game now, and I'll enjoy it even more when that patch comes out and I'm gonna play it all over again as a badass renegade :happy:. If your game doesn't work at all, you have all the right to be angry especially because you've been ignored for quite some time, but if it's only one sidequest, please don't rage quit because it's simply childish.
Are you kidding, aren't you? Following your reasoning we should thank Microsoft for having choosen DVD format for xbox: should have they opted for SD we will not be able to use our ME3 copy like a coaster...
Personally I never played twice the same game. Like many other I prefer to explore every little bit in one playthrough.
So this bug is a showstopper for us.

allora messo il salvataggio il dlc e il mio account in chiavetta, ho collegato l altra console e passato i dati sull hd da 20 giga di serie della console (pensavo non ci fosse) tutto questo col cavo ethernet staccato, il gioco ti chiede un aggiornamento di dashboard altrimenti non funziona, fatto e mette di serie la penultima dash (la migliore a mio avviso) carico il gioco missione accademy e....... non funziona si blocca come al solito sul loading.... ; ;

Tristemente è vero: il nostro non è un mercato grosso se paragonato a uk e usa ma almeno ci dicono che ci stanno lavorando che è meglio di niente.

Ok so i guess this means that the problem is with the 360 copy of the game and not the 360 hardware itself.
So if we play a Mass Effect 3 UK copy of the game it should work.
Now i think that if Bioware release the Grissom Academy as a free DLC with the same exact files of the UK version of the game we should be able to play it.
At least that's what I think, maybe I'm wrong.

Yesterday I went to the store where I bought the game and the store clerk told me that some people with the ps3 version of the game are experiencing the same issues: the feared "Grissom Academy" bug. Could that information be useful at all?

Please do something.. such as an english DLC of Grissom Accademy's mission or something like that.
If the problem seems so serious, maybe it's better to give a temporary solution for those who want to play for the full game
