Mass Effect Legendary Edition Patch Now Available

News: A new patch is now available that will fix some of the problems people were experiencing at launch.

The Mass Effect Legendary Edition finally released last week. After waiting for many years we can now experience Shepards’s journey again. Xbox gamers have always been able to do so with Microsoft’s backward compatibility program, however, those wouldn’t have the quality of life improvements that was done for this remaster. With that being said though, no piece of software is perfect and there were a few bugs that launched with the game. EA has revealed that a patch is now live that should fix a lot of them.

The new patch fixes the following issues:

General

Fixed the main issue where the launcher would crash or become unresponsive on Xbox Series X when using a wireless headset. Please note that this can still happen if you enable/disable a headset in the launcher. A future fix will resolve this issue.

Improved iris shaders for better interaction with light and ambient occlusion.

Minor calibrations, fixes, and stability improvements.

Mass Effect

Improved terrain textures

Fixed an issue where kills for achievements/trophies weren’t tracking correctly.

Mass Effect & Mass Effect 2

Resolved an issue where the character code would sometimes not display in the squad menu.

Improvements to pre-rendered cutscenes to reduce occasional artifacts.

Mass Effect 2

Improved lighting and shadows in some cinematics.

Minor visual, rendering, and VFX improvements on some levels.

Resolved minor text issues with achievements.

Mass Effect 3

Fixed an issue where kills for achievements/trophies weren’t tracking correctly.

This update should be available to download right now. Have you been playing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition over the past weekend? If not, will you do so now? Tell us in the comments section below.
