Hi there, I have just started to play the game recently and have encountered a bug and I am guessing this is the best place to bring it up. I have searched the forums here and elsewhere and have found others, but not many more, who also seem to be encountering it.

The bug is nothing major but is a bit annoying. Basically when I attempt to pick up a mod during missions Shepard plays the scanning animation, but no pop-up in the bottom right corner appears like there should and when I go to
a weapon bench there is no option to press X and attach the mods. I'm not far into the game, as I have tried restarting the game to see if it can fix it, but so far  I can't pick up mods during the Priority: Mars mission and during the Turian moon mission,though I haven’t got far into that one (and forget the name of it!).

Some extra details which might help I guess are that I have tested this with the latest patch, the 6Mb one,  and without and the bug doesn't seem to be present when the patch is NOT installed. However at one stage with the patch installed I was able to obtain the mods on Mars, but it was this play-through that I noticed I couldn't obtain them on the moon mission. Also I was playing the game on the 1st of July and it seemed to work ok, with no bug present, but between then and now (the 13th) I upgraded my xbox to the new Xbox S from the old arcade model, which meant re-downloading all my stuff, including the free multi-player DLC packs, From Ashes and the Extended Cut. this also meant transferring my Gamertag, which I did by USB instead of re-downloading it, if that has any effect. I also made sure to transfer content licences first. However I did not transfer ME3 saves so had to start again which is when I noticed the bug.

I know its nothing major but I'm kinda, erm, picky? about stuff like this haha so was just wondering if a fix or new patch was planned any time soon, maybe to be released with the Earth DLC? Also sorry about the long post just wanted to provide as much help as possible. And thanks for reading too.

EDIT*** (16th July): Sorry forgot to include some more information, my Gamertag is NUFC NIall and I have tried clearing my hard drives cache. Maybe that can help too.

EDIT 2*** (17th July): (As taken from post 4) but after more testing I made another profile and again, connected to xbox live and again couldn't pick up weapon mods during the Priority:Mars mission, however I decided to play on and get to and start Priority:Palaven, which is as far as I have ever got, however this time I was able to pick up the mods located in the initial camp (as I have never been further than this).
So it appears that it is the mods on Mars that appears to be bugged and not all of them as I first thought. However it would be great if others could confirm that this is the case

EDIT 3*** (18th July): Sorry for yet another edit haha, but this time I decided enough waiting I just want to play the game haha so anyway I start it up on my main profile, new career and everything. I play up to the Priority:Mars and what do you know? I can pick up the two SMG mods! I don't know what I did, although I did speak to a friendly EA rep online yesterday who said that the problem had been passed on, but I'm not sure if it could be fixed and all. Anyway I'm thinking 'could it be fixed? or is this another play-through where the mods on Priority:Palaven will not work?' well I get to there and to my surprise I can pick them mods up too, the handgun mods, and assault rifle mods. Now, I don't know if it I fixed and all, or if I am just getting lucky and that mods later on won't work. I would really appreciate if anyone else who was encountering this could do their own testing, if they don't mind of course, to see what happens.

EDIT 4*** (20th July): Scratch that last edit, it appears to be random on when mods refuse to be picked up now as I was not able to pick up the assault rifle magazine mod on Priority:Palaven, yet could pick up other mods leading up to it on the same mission. So it seems that this bug acts randomly in when it refuses to let you pick up weapon mods.

I've been experiencing the exact same bug with not being able to collect weapon mods in single-player after the latest patch was installed, and it's pretty much stopped me from playing Mass Effect 3 until Bioware gets around to fixing the problem. It's a shame too since I'd love to replay the entire game again so I can get the best possible ending and see the epilogue cutscenes added with the Extended Cut DLC. We can only hope that Bioware might release a fix for this problem when they release the Earth Pack DLC. *crosses fingers*

[Irish_Niall]

Sorry to hear that you too are also experiancing this bug, but its good to know that it is (hopefully) not on my end and that bioware can fix it. Would be great to know if they are aware of the bug or not though.

Sorry for the double post but i did more testing:

I created a new Xbox account while the patch was installed on my hard drive and played up to the first weapon mod (The SMG Scope 1 on Priority:Mars) and saved right before picking it up. I then picked it up and it worked as normal, in that the pop-up box appeared and I was able to use it. I then quit, and signed this spare account up for Xbox Live silver, loaded the game from just before the weapon mod, picked it up and no luck, the glitch/bug was happening again.

Hopefully this helps would be good to know if this is effecting anyone else out there and hopefully the developers are aware of this if it is effecting a load of us.

***EDIT (17th July): Well I got through and reported this to an EA rep online through the live chat service who said that they will report the bug to the relevent people, and that they will have to perform some testing and see if they can find a fix. Not sure how reliable these things are or how genuine but hopefully this is good news.

Sorry again for multiple posts but I feel this is worth its own seperate post:

but after more testing I made another profile and again, connected to xbox live and again couldn't pick up weapon mods during the Priority:Mars mission, however I decided to play on and get to and start Priority:Palaven, which is as far as I have ever got, however this time I was able to pick up the mods located in the initial camp (as I have never been further than this).

If. You got the space install on hard drive, I got the gears of war edition with 320 gig, fixed problems I had with boarderlands not reconizing dlc. Since then ive installed games and no problems. What wort that gonna happiness?

[Irish_Niall]

Appreciate the suggestion but I have the game, both discs, installed already. Also it doesn't seem to be a DLC issue, but thanks for the reply anyway.

Sorry just wanted to bump the topic as new edits have been added

[Irish_Niall]

Bump - also just want to confirm that I'm nearly sure that it is just random which mods cannot be picked up depending on your current playthrough, at least for me anyway. On Priority:Palaven on my current playthrough, I was able to pick up the pistol mods forund in the initial camp, however could not pick up the assault rifle extended rounds mod just outside the camp, after meeting Garrus.

[RayBang]

Pretty sure it's random. Same problem occurs on the PC and I'm pretty sure it's a result of the last patch as my game had been working fine up until that point. First time it was the mods at the Palaven moon base, second time it was the mod on Mars at the first bench (SMG I believe) and now it's the sniper mod again on Mars after the turret.

I've just given up on playing the game until the game is patched.

[Irish_Niall]

Ah, shame to hear the other platforms are experiancing this too, sorry to hear. But yeah, I'm going to give it a bit, hope that it gets patched soonish. Havn't played on myself really. It's not even major, but it's just annoying that I waited a while to get the game in the hope no bugs would be there, and played through ME1 + ME2 loads to get ready only to keep running into this haha just would rather wait for a few problems to be ironed out.

[tijames]

Its a random bug, but its frustrating for me since I want to collect everything. I don't want to continue the story until this is fixed.

[Irish_Niall]

Yeah it's a bit frustrating, sorry to hear you're having bother too tijames. Hopefully it's being worked on in a patch, but it would be great to know if a patch is even being developed or not at least.

[tijames]

Yeah apparently the patch didn't fix it. This my main problem with the game and I checked it. Still doesn't work. I at Sur'kesh just at the start waiting to complete the mission, but I don't want to just because of this problem. *sigh*

[Irish_Niall]

Yeah checked it myself, still no joy, was going to start a new game (yet again!) to see if that helps, but it's not even mentioned in the patch notes, so not holding much hope. Still have never gone past Palaven:Moon in the hopes SP would get a big update but it seems mostly for MP this latest patch
