I really hope they take holstering for PC back in. Stupid to remove it in the first place, if you don't take it back in Bioware I will be dissapointed, nevertheless you guys are doing a great work, thanks.

Coins and exp are not properly rewarded when disconnecting from a MP game.

And a few of us are experiencing frequent disconnects that makes MP unplayable.

Ditto to this issue. I've lost out on a pretty fair amount of xp and cash (at least 550k xp) from multiplayer sessions that I get dropped from at the start of wave 10 or just before wave 11 has finished. This bug was worse in the demo (sometimes it took me 20minutes and several restarts just to get into a session!), but it's still aggravating to invest so much time on a mission only to lose any chance of a reward. It's hard enough for me to earn enough cash to afford new weapons and equipment after multipe sessions (seriously, the best assault rifle I can get is a Vindicator?), but losing what little I might gain at random is very frustrating.

Now, granted some of these issues are Origin related (I can't even get the 'Settings' menu to open! which means no DLC codes can be entered, even with an N7 Collector's Edition) because it's a buggy piece of unstable crap, but since EA doesn't give us the option to run ME3 without it, they really need to ensure that they give you folks the proper support to resolve these sorts of cross-platform issues.

That being said, I do enjoy the game a lot (GREAT writing/acting!) so far and I can be patient for the various bug fixes, but I wish that Bioware hadn't chained themselves to the corporate equivalent of a Reaper.

Me i just hope i might one play the game.. been 2 week since i got it... still not working.. I was away for a week... i hope that EA will have fix that origin bug. but No.. ni fixe.. so no mass effect 3 :-(
at least the box look nice... it make a good paper weight

Hello, investors. Commander Shepard here.
Now you know, we've sucked a lot of money into the final chapter of Mass Effect, but I here to tell you: we are not banging rocks together over here. We KNOW how to make an epic space saga. EDI?
See? DLC here, DLC there: look at this thing goin'!
Now, we have run into a reproducible "spacebar ruins everything" problem... Lots of expensive keyboards getting broken. But don't worry, BioWare will take care of it. Gentlemen: I give you the long anticipated patch. Think of it as a software-based suit of armour for your nerves. Now I am not gonna lie to you, it's been asked for for 3 years, but check this out: we told this skilled player to play on Gold: he can actually do it! Good job, patch!

Thank you for update.

[weedyfun]

good to know you're working on it.

i don't give a rats ass about DLC, to be honest, just fix the bugs and for the love of god, fix the multiplayer thing! I can't connect to some people on my Origin friends list's private games. No, I don't want to play a quickmatch with random people, i'm tired of playing with little kids taking this too seriously. that's why i don't use a mike.. i don't need one when i've got a good team.

i join their game, but it stops communicating for some reason, then i have to altF4 my game. I have checked my network and router settings and they are fine.

The big quest fixes can actually wait until the game-100%-unplayable problems are fixed. There are only four:

* The Face Import
* The DLC Authorization When Internet Is On, But EA Servers Are Down
* The Fonts Are Too Small (no need to make them bigger for everyone, just add a font size changer, say, what we have now, double that and triple that, I sincerely doubt putting in a primitive software scaler is gonna be THAT hard)
* The Where Did My Multiplayer Stuff Go

That's it. Everything else can wait. You know it to be true. All the other bugs don't prevent you from enjoying the game entirely, just from enjoying it fully, and that's a separate matter.

Thank you for the reassurance, by the way, we really needed that. Seriously. Thank you.

Absolutely agree with the above statement.

It's kinda sad that Skyrim was/is more stable then this game upon launch (it didn't freeze my entire system 'causing me to initiate a hard-shutdown of my comp). Some of the issues in this game don't even make sense, the constant clipping along every surface in every location for single-player and multiplayer, the instability issues posed by purchasing item packs in the store for multiplayer (gotta love vanishing credits and your purchased/unlocked items), clipping glitches that make the game unplayable for Vanguards if they die while charging and my favorite issue of all, the constant EA server timeouts!
When a Bethesda game is more stable than your own, you know you got problems.

 Thanks Chris. I work in a similar line of work and when our dev's roll out new versions of code, it has to go through the same vetting process. Sadly, just finding the source of the problem is often much longer (and has an unpredictable time frame for achieving) than implementing a solution. 

And by far the most frustrating thing about fixing one problem (and this goes for any software) is to suddently discover that fixing what seems like a tiny problem suddenly causes something utterly unrelated to fail (i.e. fixing a key binding bug makes your shepard look like salarian). At that point it becomes a game of bug-fix-whack-a-mole!

Thanks for the feedback, but I feel based on the severity of several of the bugs being worked on, I don't expect a patch for at least another month.

Don't forget the fact that changing the default key bindings breaks the ability to scan planets (or launch probes) on the galaxy map. Literally makes half the game unplayable. 

And the font issue sounds more like a personal preference not a bug. 

Plus the registration process is also screwed up pretty bad for PC users.

People that are experiencing game issues post in my thread so it makes it easier for Bioware to help or notify the problems...

http://social.biowar...2937/1#10084888

[Sylak]

I try to replace the .dll files. But stil don't work for me. the bug is with origin that crash everytime i start ME3, so... only 2 solution left ( since a origin Update is out of my control) will be to try to reinstall windows and format etc etc... and i won't do it, so it left only the pirate version solution, until EA fixe origin. since i have paid the game 80$, i feel sad that i have the get a hacked version in order to play.

[krasnoarmeets]

I'm guessing the ME1 face code issue isn't considered that important then?

[Delusion83]

It really isn't, as one can actually make a pretty good conversion manually, that linked website didn't work for me as the converted shep looked nothign like mine but you only need a few minutes to "re-imagine" your own shep so it wasn't that big of a deal.

The game has much bigger issues, but sure if we keep in mind how this particular feature is marketed this is somewhat of an epic (launch) fail, more so if we take a look at all the other bugs and visual issues.

Shep' hands stone to Tali, next scene, suddenly stone disappears,... let's just pretend it's there anyway - seemed to work for Tali.

Or once my "sexy time" was cut short because for some reason my LI interacted with a somewhat invisible femshep,... or maybe some kind of ghost,... odd things happen abord the normandy I tell you,... that romance ended up looking even worse than it usually would.

I was wondering are they going to considering changing the journal? A lot of a threads have already talked about it, but I just wanted to know are they going to do it. It's really annoying the journal doesn't update. To me, it makes doing side quest hard since they give you a lot (which I like) but you can't keep track where to go, and know where to go. I know the map has been updated, and can help. However, I'd really like if you guys could change the journal.

^^^^ This. Hopefully they'll revamp it. It's been driving me 'el loco the past few days.

Unfortunately, all this bickering about the 'ending' might put what really needs to be tweaked in the game on the backburner for a while.

I understand this is a lengthy process, as a designer I often have to look over my scripts again and again for errors and that's just for flash websites, but I second the need to not tell us when a patch is coming, not to tell us progress every day even, just a quick sticky saying "this patch we are working through a-d issues please be patient" that would be fine for me, but instead I have to post in and subscribe to 4-5 threads for the same issue on the chance you post in one of them, contact EA multiple times only to be told to talk to you, so when I hear nothing from your team it makes it a much bigger problem. not asking for much just say you know about it, then i can relax and let you work on it even if it takes a month or more as long as your working on it i'm happy. I love Bioware games just a little more communication with customers please? thank you

[fixit6]

That's a heck of a lot of red tape to go through, wow.

No wonder swtor and me3 take so long for 'patches'.

• Once a collection of issues are fixed by the team it is put into a patch and sent off to EA and our partners at Microsoft and Sony for whats is called Certification. They also run tests to make sure that our fix works and that it does not introduce any new issues to the game or their systems.
• If AT ANY POINT in this testing and Certification process a problem is detected, the patch is sent back to us and process begins again until it is fixed.
• Once the patch has passed certification, it is released to the public via Origin, Xbox and Playstation.

So there's nobody within the development team/company that can kill two birds with one stone? I would've thought there would been someone to deal with second-party software (Origin) seeing as Bioware is effectively EA.

The only crash I had was just after watching the 1st Prothean video on Eden Prime in the DLC content.
After a couple tries I just passed on it, did other things, watched the 2nd Prothean video, then went back and watched the 1st and it was OK, no crash.

[ziyon conqueror]

Here are a few bugs I feel need fixing:

*Shepard and Liara's heads turning away from each other on Normandy after Citadel I
*Image texturing (similar to Garrus: Eye for an Eye, during the car scene) when arriving on Citadel, at first scene when rushing Virmire Survivor to hospital
*Combat rolling to the side when my finger is on the W button

[jacinda1234]

Things that need fixing and are blatantly broken and should have been fixed during development.

1. Everything button, putting 4-5 mechanics on 1 button is insane and just shows that no one at bioware knows how to actually design a game, especially since the pc version allows for re-mapping buttons.

2. FoV, the fact that i cant see an enemy next to/behind me that is literally within punching distance is gamebreaking at the least.

I played with a decent FoV in the single player and https://twitter.com/...009846320611328 this guys statement is complete and utter bull****, my advice? Fire him, obviously isnt qualified to make any gameplay decisions, that or he is lying to the very people that keep him employed.

3. Multiple stuff like texture quality being worse than the first game, animations being worse than games from 2001, lip-sync being totally off, quests that can´t be completed.

Thanks & appreicate the update Chris

Are you guys working on fixing the ULTRA LIGHT Materials Mod for Submachine Gun BUG in Multiplayer where it DOEN'ST WORK in reducing actual cooldowns on PC?

It shows a cool down reduction on your weapons screen but has no effect on your powers screen nor in actual gameplay (tested it via stopwatch)

[KeeperB5]

Any word on when we might be able to expect next patch to arrive on Origin for PC? I'm dying to start a new game but without quite as many bugs as the first time around.

[jacinda1234]

@keeperb5, Just look for any release date for consoles, chances of them releasing the patch sooner for PC (which they can) is non-existant.
