When can we expect to get a patch forr all these woes???  It's clear the game is badly broken.  Please Fix it.  Your loyal customers are anxiously waiting.  Even a date for a patch would be something.

I disagree that the game is 'badly broken' I haven't had a single issue and while the majority of people posting in the TechSuport section are those who are having problems, its a small fraction of game owners. If it was the majority, oh boy, you'd know it. Guaranteed since launch, no less than 15-20 thousand+ copies have been installed (and no I don't have that in writing but for a game like this, thats about the minimum over the course of a few days) and since the forums are relatively quiet for a new release, 'badly broken' is a stretch. No doubt you and others would disagree with me, of course.



Be patient. A patch is coming. The best thing you can do is properly aid in explaining your issue. If you've done that to the best of your ability and nobody has been able to help then hope for the best and that your issue is addressed in the first and/or subsequent patches.

I have been playing for 25 hours, only problems I have seen is some clipping, once! one of my buddys froze in place, and I got a problem with Grunts unlock ability not unlocking.



apart from that the game runs very smooth and it looks amazing on my almost 3 year old gaming rig

No the games needs patches. Seems to have alot of envirment bugs. I had to restart missions so many times to to warping and text bugs which ends up putting me in the ground. Levtating me 50 feet about the ground or leaving my body parts in a wall I took cover behind. The game was not polished.

This thread proves how badly broken he game is! I cant play for more then 10 minutes without it crashing.

I agree that a patch is needed. I have two problems; one the sound cuts out periodically and two the game also crashes once and a while at random intervals. I never had this problem with other Bioware games like ME 1 and Dragon Age. ME 2 has some issues that need to be fixed. not everyone is lucky enough to have no problems. I also wouldn't call the game broke, it is just having problems with specific settings or hardware. Bioware is also barley checking the threads unless it is an account problem.

I don't think anyone is arguing against a patch. It's pretty clear there are some issues that need fixing.  

In my opinion the game is polished. The problems don't stem from a rushed or unpolished game, they are the same problem every game (made in the last 8 years) has when they release - the multitude of systems and configurations (due mainly to the influx of 'gaming rigs' and people who build their own) that, I'm sorry to say, no developer ever tests for. And nor should they - that would not only be time consuming but also cost a fortune. And no that doesn't mean we are beta testers either, it means that the game works fine for them and their testers and for the systems that inherently meet or better what they use.

This game is significantly better than ME1. i had repeated crashes, freezes and other problems with the first Mass Effect where as the sequel so far for me has been stable. My only complaint would be having to hold down the right mouse button when scanning a planet. that really causes some serious cramps etc and would love to see it changed to a toggle or something.

Zomg yes. Just using space and/or WASD (or arrows) would be nice. I found that switching to higher dpi helps a bit though.

This may help some of you or not, either way I hope it does shed light on this whole fps dropping/crashing fiasco in terms of whether its hardware vs. the game.



I was playing this on a E6420 2.13ghz, 2gigs of ram, and 8800gt. Pretty low but definitely over minimum specs. For the most part, its playable although I fall victim to the random fps drop. Meaning, after an hour or so of smooth play, it goes berserk. The only thing that resolves this is setting the cpu affinity to one core, then back to all.



The other night though, it started to occasionally tear and Id see quick glitches in the graphics but otherwise smooth playback. Then on an elevator ride on the Normandy, my comp crashed. Got a quick BSOD and then it just shut off. Its not heat since I checked my temps immediately after and it was relatively cool. I should mention, that I was playing this on lowest settings basically.



What I did notice was that although these glitches seemed random and Im sure sometimes it was, there are a few areas where it will always happen. One is the bathroom in the Captains Room, and another is firsting entering the Omega station.







I got fed up with it honestly and just decided to upgrade. So today I quickly took it on a testrun with a E7500 2.93ghz and a Radeon HD4850. Not great, but a pretty large leap from what I had before. The playback is definitely smoother obviously but I what I did do immediately is visit these same locations that was causing the fps drops.



This is where its gets sort of interesting, fps doesnt drop anymore (at least it hasn't yet), but I do see a slight tear in the graphics. Basically, its much more playable but there is still definitely something going on with the game.



I only ran it for about 30 minutes so I can't speak too concretely about how stable it is, but this does seem to be as much of a problem with the game, as it is meetings specs. Im probably going to try and play for a few hours tonight and see how my new setup handles it. Ill try to repirt back if anything goes wrong/crashes.

i am cant hack because the controls dont work in the hacking interface

Well... I'm speaking up for the people who aren't able to interact with usable/interactive objects/people. When you approach something/someone, the reticle highlights with an orange square but if you get close enough to it, it should turn blue. However, for many of us experiencing this problem don't get that blue square unless we use various work-arounds which can be pretty tedious and cumbersome for players who just want to get through the game smoothly. Some of us just stuck while some just randomly lose the ability to interact! It's vexatious... really.

Plenty of us want to see this interactive problem resolved (link below):

Amen Brother.  I cant play for more then 10 minutes without it crashing, stuttering or putting my head through the wall while being raised 4 feet off the ground, amd stuck there.  I am also unable to execute the Bartender quest.  That is how far I have gotten.  You can't Esc from it and Alt Tab won't doanything.  So i had to turn off my PC by hand 3 times.  I am F5-ing almost every 5 minutes so the game doesn't start me back at the beginning of the quest I was on.

The game is broken, as the link zulu21 shows - in great detail. When you ftgure this board as represenative of all those with problems in their games that don't post here for one reason or another, you must assume that we are not just a splinter group of ME2 bashers. Nothing could be further from the truth,  I just don't think ME2 should have been released with these antique gaming problems.

Game:

DVD Boxed Retail Collectors Edition

System:

Dell XPS 730
Windows Vista Ultimate S.P. 2    32 Bit
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X 9970  Overclocked
Water and Air Cooled
3.20 GHz   3.20 GHz
4 GB RAM
NVIDIA  GeForce 9800 GX2
Creative XBS-FI

I think that's it. 
It's proven to me that it can handle everything I throw at it, including Adobe Suite CS3 Web Premium, working and turning 600 dpi images in Photoshop no problems.

We need a serious Patch ASAP.

I cant even boot up the game anymore after the recent crash that already has a topic up to 4 pages currently.



This game definatly needs a patch. Seems like no one at bioware wanted to test it out for Windows 7

[ill_paisa]

ok, this is pissing me off... my character just randomly floats and i have to restart the game/reload... i wouldn't have a problem with that if i could start from the the same level... but nooooo i have to start from my last save which was 3 hours ago :|



i'm not amused.

This game is not up to the standards I have always expected from Bioware.  I dont understand Biowares silence either this isnt like them not to have an update to the players out by now.  I really dont understand how these issues werent caught sooner!!!!

[EnderZak]

To the poster who said it's a only a small fraction of users with problems...I don't agree with that.  I've been a bioware fan for years, and generally active on the forums with each of their new releases.  This one sure seems to have a lot more issues.  I agree with another poster...this isn't up to the normal standards we have all come to expect from Bioware.

This isn't my first time with a game that crashes (all games will on occassion).  But it is my first time with a dozen crashes within the hour.  It's so bad, I've stopped playing.

My computer should have no issues at all:

standard retail DVD game
Vista 64 bit SP1
6 gig ram
GeForce GTX 260 (core 216) driver 196.21
I7-920 - overclocked to 3.2 with temps in the 45C range
Good clean power, plenty of hard drive space, and plenty of cooling.

So...as the OP said...PATCH NEEDED

[Tuchits]

this is starting to ****** me off. a few times now after scanning a planet, i cant get out. half to alt-ctrl del. kill the game and start over

scan the damn planet again. the scan for minerals chit is lame as it is

[NorseDude]

Out of curiosity, what OS are you running it on? As for me, I'm on Vista 32-bit. After 13 hours, I've had a glitch once where I walked around in the medbay in the Normandy and started walking on some pipes near the ceiling. I walked backwards, popped down to the floor and played as normal. No bugs here.

[Dannyboyslim]

Badly broken is the original release of Boiling Point, this doesn't even come close. If there's an issue with some peoples systems, and there's not a connecting reason, how will a patch help?



For example, EnderZak, your system is pretty powerful, should be no issues there, but you're having "a dozen crashes" - but there are loads of peeps with the same/similar/lesser systems who are playing the game without fault. That surely implies that there's a problem at your end.

A patch? Sure, for issues that are effecting all, or owners of a certain item (say an ATI graphics card or something), but I doubt any company in the world has the facility to address every single issue with every single system.



I feel for those of you who are having issues - particularly game breaking issues - but perhaps before clamouring for a magical patch that will cure all your woes, look at your system first. If you find a common thread connecting the same errors (like they were all manufactured on the same day or something), then is the time to let Bioware know so they can patch it.

[mr_luga]

I'm running on Win 7 64 bit

EDIT: In response to Dannyboyslim, yeah true, what I'd like to know though is that Bioware is ontop of it, that they are aware on the problem, if it takes some time, fine, but I'd like to know it is atleast in motion, I hate not knowing if im waiting for help, but not knowing if it's coming or not.

Paying full price for a game you cant play kind of blows

I can't even get the game to launch... That's a pretty big problem for me...

[Taithrah]

I love the people easily blaming peoples rigs. Half the issues have no connection to there high end computers, look at the crazy floating / clipping bug. I have had that happen to me multipule times, has no connection to the PC, its the coding..
