Massive issues with latest patch?

Usually when it auto-saves, the frame doesn't freeze but the dialogue starts after it finishes.

Now post patch, I had the frame freeze while I was mid-boost but I was able to access the menu to look at the map, ect. It was frozen a good 10-15 seconds but I waited and it went back to normal.

I had it say to reinstall awhile back (corrupt, it said, I think) and all but I was like f' that. I forced closed the game, then rebooted the system. It went back to normal after that. By the way, I'm on PS4. Hopefully, it doesn't occur often.

Here's what mine did within a half hour of the patch being applied. I saved, quit the game, then restarted and it seemed fine after that. But the map was gone. The journal. It was totally bizarre. That never happened  to me before. I've been playing since release.

game is crashing now like crazy. It also made a ton of auto saves. Not sure what the hell they did, but I had zero issues before this patch. Maybe it screwed up my save. 

Edited to add that it's doing some insane shit with the autosave function I have never seen before. This autosave insanity was ALL from me driving in kadara toward where the SOS signal marker is. I stopped to get the memory grabbed the hit the rocks scan then drove to get the relic before the game crashed. At some point it began autosaving like crazy. 

Looks like it was related to that part of the map in kadara. Ported to another part and it's going fine so far.

Ryder's hair looks a bit too glossy though. Almost like white highlights on brown hair at times. Was less shiny pre-patch.

Just an observation.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention a crash to desktop when approaching the Emergency SOS navpoint for the first time. Worked fine before 1.06. Game just automatically closes. No "Mass Effect Andromeda has stopped responding" or anything like that.

I'm having a lot of freezing and crashing issues on Voeld. Loading saves only works 50% of the time. The other half the game locks up on the loading screen.

After defeating the Architect, part of the mission HUD for that battle remained permanently on my screen. I'll have to fight it again, should I choose to continue.

I'm starting to experience more slowdown bugs than I ever did before the patch.

The game is going crazy with auto saves, creating up to 10 total, and up to three at a time.

I really like most of the changes implemented in this patch. I'm not sure whether I'll push onward; try a totally new game (I started my current one days before the patch); or just go back to HZD for a while. I love MEA, but I don't want to have a burnout. I've played a lot of MEA since release.

Good to know, even if it's just your experience. It makes me think that trying another fresh game might not be hopeless. It is annoying, since I am 100% on four worlds, and was about to begin LMs. :/ I started this game a few days ago, despite suspecting that a patch was forthcoming.

Those old saves may end up being useful solely for importing/exporting faces to ME Archives.

Infibite Voeld saves were already an issue particularly if you die fighting the architect.

It might have simply made it more common.

In the rare instance you die while auto saving these load bugs can occur. That's been since before the patch though.

It would not fall in line with western work ethics but we should really consider employing Japanese developer structures here. There's a reason why they seem to be better at making fully featured AAA releases that don't bug the hell out.

God, I wish Bioware would hire me to be in charge of their Quality Assurance department. I've been doing software QA for like, a decade, and I actually know what I'm doing. They'd also have to give me enough power to actually make the necessary changes, though, which isn't likely to happen.

...sigh

This is my third play through, I never played a ME games less than 6 times but DAMN.

I think I might just grab something else to tide me over until E3...

And now that this studio is being cannibalized we can forget a scorpio patch



Juuust great

My only issue is my Ryder keeps slowly moving out of cover, like she's floating or sliding.
