ok went to play 2 again reinstalled redownloaded played like 10x again heck i even redid windows 7!  so anybody get this bug fix and ghost works BUT talis right hand man dies if you use it so trying to fix that.    Also now it has another bug - when you do grunts loyalty mission you have to go up and talk to shawman so you walk up there were he is and you click on the blue outline but nothing!  

 

i found a fix on the grunt mission but still says not completed in the mission box,  you open up Gibbed and you click on grunts loyal then reload the game.

I found out what the glitch was. The drones fly UNDER the floor your standing on. I saw one go right under and not come back up.

Genius AI writing. Now i have to save game edit my way out of this.

Though its too late to waste any time fixing it as per the games age. So it will stand as an eternal testament to EA's ability to beta test a Triple A title before releasing it. =D

This is my fifth playthough and this is the first time I've encountered this!
I left Tali last to recruit so all I have to do is the IFF mission and hers and Legion's loyalty.

P***** doesn't even cover it.

Are you guys playing ME2 via Origin?  I wonder if they screwed it up somehow relatively recently.

 

My copy I bought in 2010 on Steam never had this issue that I can remember.

That doesn't mean that odd things didn't happen in some other areas.

I might be a bit late to the party here, but can't you just go to the menu, choose load and select 'restart mission'?

the ghost fix didn't work for me. it fact the game froze up and start after applying this change, and had to perform a re-install.

 

 

I restarted the mission 3 times, and have had no luck. :(

:? Hi guys, I'm having the same issues as well. Three in fact including this one...which are all fairly new ever since I installed the updates, I bought the Mass Effect Trilogy I beat all 3 games in my first play through with no bugs on 360, no problems at all there were no bugs everything seem to work properly. I played the Trilogy on Xbox 360 first then I bought the PC version Trilogy hoping maybe it wouldn't have these new bugs unfortunately I was wrong it had the same ones :(

 

So....here's the story I decided to replay them all again last year on my 360 version while my nephew watched, it worked all in well for awhile beat the first game made it to the second, after awhile I noticed the Grunt mission glitch up, just for the record I used no mods or Gibbed Save editor at all so my saves were all clean. Wrex told me to talk to the Shaman, even with Wreav instead of Wrex it did this....it wouldn't work the screen would go dark but I could still hear sfx and move my guy at least I heard footsteps of me in the same room still then if I'd reload oddly enough I'd be back in front of the shaman even if I didn't save it there or were close to him...it'd show me talking to the shaman, but then after speaking to him the screen would go dark again. So I couldn't complete that quest. very aggravating 

 

Then this Tali glitch happened during her mission, once I arrived to the scorching hot planet I beat everything, blew the rock up, went to the locker room where the weapons are talked to her on the intercom, then I go down the ramp to the door, see the drones fly by I killed them all then the Geth. On the far side of the room no panel on the door at all. I thought I was the only one with this issue.... now I know I killed them all, it appears several others have this bug. I cannot get to the door there is simply no panel on it at all! I know there was on my first playthrough a few years back before the updates I know it worked you don't forget a game this memorable like the Mass Effect Series. I played it for I can't even count how many hours for the life of me and found nothing no way to get it to open or even appear. No signs of enemies at all it's clearly a bug, even still the door should at least have a red panel on it, it has NONE! Heheh....  :pinched:

 

Glitch bug 3, to top this off I also discovered another new one. When doing Jack's Loyalty mission it automatically makes you leave when she tells you she wants to take a look around even if you permit her to and say okay Jack we'll look around, it cuts you off and immediatly shows you flying off detonating the bomb... it didn't used to do this either because I remember her telling me all about the facility, about her childhood, her room. Very annoying. Now all 3 of these bugs are fairly new, I had no mods, no hacks, no gibbed...nothing just clean saves. In every one of my playthroughs it did this on Xbox 360 and PC Versions of Mass effect 2 from the Trilogy. I wonder if the Updates may have corrupted my save files or something. Any new save I make will do this. All 3 bugs are inevitable there may be more but these 3 are so annoying I can't play ME2 the way I used to.... I fell in love with the game before, now it's partially broken because of these bugs it cannot be completed.

 

Please Bioware fix this. Because of these glitches we cannot play our great games you made for us properly the way you intended for us to. Something broke Mass Effect 2 for many players. Maybe an update or updates or something else I can't say. I don't see how it can be origin because my 360 game does it too.  -_-

 

 

Please Bioware or whoever is in charge of updates, please make an update to resolve these issues and get things back on track the way they were before if you can, for your fans. 

 

 

         

 

      Thanks for reading    

 

                       Sincerely  ~Simdrew1993

It happened to me as well on my last playthrough. I'd never encountered this bug before and it was incredibly frustrating. I had console enabled with EpicLegion's PCC Patcher tool so I typed Ghost and noclipped straight to Reegar. That set off the conversation.

 

The major issue is that you have to kill all the enemies (including EVERY drone) for the door to open up. It's intentional so that you don't just rush through the level. But the problem is one of the drones glitched like crazy and wouldn't show up. The battle music would keep playing which meant there were still enemies around......but nowhere to be seen.

 

I thought maybe they were hiding somewhere so I completely nuked the area with the Cain, but didn't work. Then it occured to me to do the ghost thing. The only thing you miss out on is the radio-Reegar convo and opening the shutters. Just noclip straight to him to trigger the conversation.

This is still a problem for me, I can get through it with ghost glitch, but Reegar dies as a result. I'm doing a 100% paragon run and I want to know if theres a way I can get past this dumb glitch without Reegar dying. Or at the very least, if there's some way I can screw around with the files to make him alive again.

And is there just no way to completely clear the room? I've caught the drone that glitches into the wall several times, but not quick enough to kill it, is there anything I can do?

The only time I had an issue at that door was because one of the probes was still alive.  They can get knocked into a wall and get stuck on it.  Usually if you walk around the area and make sure they are all dead things will be fine. 

 

I hope this helps.

Weird I didn't use to have this issue before but now it's EVERY TIME! Talk about frustrating I think the game updates caused the drones to glitch or something. Same with Grunts Loyalty Quest it glitches terribly to where that quest is unbeatable so therefore no happy Grunt, sorry bud! And for Jacks Loyalty mission, it glitches up to where it skips to the explosion even if you say your going to look around first nope you don't get to that's more of a letdown than a bug like the other 2. Game didn't use to have these major issues, because I use to play it just fine, it has to be game updates or something screwed with everything. They need to fix these asap if they plan to re-release these on new console platforms or make them backwards compatible otherwise people are gonna be pretty ticked when they see all these new problems for themselves, it annoys me that none of these have been fixed yet, the game came out in 2010 not sure when updates did but like I said when the game first game out these problems did NOT exist none of them, that I assure you. So devs have had more than plenty of time to sort this out.

This sounds serious.  I am playing the Trilogy from Origin.  Can I expect to run into these glitches?  And I understand that if you can't do a loyalty mission that means that you will loose these characters on the Suicide mission.  I really don't want to loose Tali.

Hi Mberry, yes indeed it is a very serious bug many of us are having. I first got it when I purchased the Xbox360 Trilogy at first it worked then after I installed the updates/patches I believe that is what broke the game and caused it not entirely sure but not sure what else it could have been you see the game originally worked flawlessly nothing serious like this anyway then game breaking Bugs/Glitches that prevent mission completion. Then I had later purchased the Trilogy for PC hoping I could play it again and that maybe it was only a console defect, and it automatically installed the updates through Origin so it too was also bugged unfortunately. Yes I believe you are correct, that if you cannot do a character's loyalty missions that character will die in the end, since you cannot do Tali's or Grunts I believe they would both die in the end of the game, unless someone hacks the game with Gibed Save editor which many are doing to try to get around these bugs, I've done it before too in the past, although it can cause more problems in the end to do this and it most likely will not fix everything so I wouldn't recommend doing this unless it's a minor edit. The devs need to fix this like I said there are 3 bugs unless I'm mistaken and there are more.

 

 

And it's Loyalty missions, In Tali's a door will not open some say a drone flies out of the map either way the door has no interface at all not even red like most doors that are locked, In Grunts mission on Tuchanka the Shaman glitches up to where there is a serious dialogue problem screen goes black then you have to reload a save or shut game off, and Jacks loyalty mission which the dialogue has a minor screwup and skips ahead half way through a scene that kinda breaks the lore and you don't get to know more about Jack or look around first which is rather sad since it breaks the story a bit, and I'm sure nobody wants Tali and Grunt to die if they are playing a Paragon. Maybe I should make a video on it all. If there are more serious glitches please PM them to me and let me know, and provide proof if you have any. I don't think enough people are bringing this to the developers/devs attention this needs to be addressed ASAP! 

 

There are not that many bugs in Mass effect 1 or Mass Effect 3 that I know of those games work fine still unless I'm mistaken, only Mass Effect 2 is what is serious. Many are going to be playing the Trilogy soon I'm sure since before the launch of Mass Effect Andromeda, this is going to tick many off if it's not fixed. I know that if the devs tamper with a previous patch and try to make a new one there is risk of the game locking up/breaking, although with these problems already out there I think they should try what they can. There is a potential chance they can fix it though, they could probably just roll back to the default game and remove the patch altogether, It's better than having the game bugged up I guess i don't know how that would affect dlc might not affect it at all, It may work for them. Nobody is going to want to play a broken game.

I'm just going to point out that unloyal squadmates do not necessarily die in the suicide mission.

 

I also never had any of these problems using the original pc release version. (But plenty of the old 'got stuck in terrain'-bugs)

Considering the (relative small) ammount of people reporting these bugs here or on the ea/answer hq site, it also does not seem to affect that many.

Hi there KrrKs, Thanks for the information on loyal companions, good to know they don't die. With this mission bugging out Tali cannot be recruited at all so she cannot be a part of the Normandy which is quite sad for many. And first off you don't know how many have been affected by this no one does, just because these people reported the problem here on the forums doesn't mean they are the only ones to have had these serious bugs, maybe it hasn't been triggered by everyone, I believe it is patches/updates that trigger them I may be wrong but my game used to work just fine. Small Majority, well Mass Effect 2 is an older game many don't play it anymore so only so many people would notice and it would be those that do play it although with the new Mass Effect Andromeda coming out many are going to start again or for the first time for newcomers. You cannot claim to know exactly how many have and haven't had this problem. We don't know how many have filed report tickets under technical support many could have. Plus not everybody gets on forums and reports them, so who's to say how many have these issues. Although more and more people have been having these very same bugs/glitches lately, I thought it was only my game at first then I looked it up and stumbled across the forums where others had the same thing wrong. Plus not everyone is going to know it's a bug if they are new to the Mass effect 2 experience they are going to think they are missing something get frustrated and quit instead of looking for answers, but if they do look hey that's good because We are just trying to make others aware ^_^ 

 

I am sure many have these issues just not enough are speaking up about it, I encourage them to perhaps it can lead to a fix later who knows.  

 

 

Hey Atomkick Shinoski, that's a very interesting find! Glitch to get around a broken bug hmm hahah....Maybe that could help us out! Still we'd be left with an Unloyal Grunt, darn it Grunt! Hahah. Thanks for sharing :)

But if you don't get Tali's loyalty that will effect the geth/Quarian in ME3.  Naturally I want to save them both and have Tali live.

My game is the Trilogy version from Origin.  Is everyone having this problem?  Or is it happening to some?  I noticed that this thread started back in 2012.

In all my time playing Mass Effect 2, this is the first time this has ever happened to me. :o
 
Time to gibbed save editor out of this stupid thing.
 
EDIT:
To help those who are stuck with this...
 
I downloaded this patcher app: http://social.biowar...m/project/4715/
 
I then backed up these two files:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\CookedPC\Engine.pcc
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\CookedPC\SFXGame.pcc
 

When you run the program, open these two files and then click Load Packages.

On the Engine tab, tick 'Unlock in-game console'.

Then click Save Packages.

 

The message log should show that the changes were saved successfully.

 

When you load the game, you will probably be in the section just before the battle with the door that doesn't open.  Clear the battlefield of enemies, and when you get to the door, press ~ to access the console, and then type Ghost.  You will not be able to use mouse look at that point, but you can walk forward.  Note that the level will not load, so you'll see floating enemies and a whole bunch of nothing.  Hit ~ again to get the console back, and type the command Walk.  The game will then resume and the level will load.  Walk up to Kal'Reegar and begin the cutscene for the next part.

 

Note: This fix means that even if you get Reegar to stand down, Kal'Reegar still dies.

Just played through this part of the mission on PC/Origin.
The green panel appeared when the team was still on the opposite side of the room and enemies were present.
When the team got close enough to the door, the geth stopped spawning. The door could be opened.

If you use the modified Gibbed Save Editor to add Research Projects early, please keep in mind that certain areas won't load correctly.
The following items will be added upon completion of Tali's recruitment mission:
Plot/Research: Tec_AssaultRifle, Tec_MediGel
Plot/Mission Rewards: Sun_TIA
Plot/Henchmen: Tali acquired, Tali is selectable
If Tec_AssaultRifle was already added manually to the save file before entering the area with the geth drones, the door on the other side won't have any panel to interact with.
So make sure to deselect this item - or all of the above items - in the save editor before attempting Tali's mission.

I only ran into this a few times - I had a few drones (well hidden) left to kill.   Do a sweep up.
