ME:A Bugs and Troubleshooting.

Getting tons of texture flickering in Mass Effect Andromeda after the update. Thus far, it only seems to affect Elaaden. Anything with a metallic color has a blue strobe effect to it. Reminds me of how the old tube TV's would 'roll' when they weren't tuned properly.


Turning VSync off doesn't eliminate it, it just seems to make it flicker at a different rate.

Doesn't occur anywhere else in the game, just the one planet. Not sure if it's a driver thing, or a game issue itself.

Current setup:

Win 10 Pro (Version 1607, Build 14393.953)
EVGA GTX 950 SSC (x2, SLI)
ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero
16 gb RAM
Intel i7-6700k
Nvidia Driver 381.65

Seems to be random. I thought it was related to the forward station deployment right after you first arrive, but it happens on subsequent visits as well. No way to reproduce on demand that I've found. Almost seems like there's some sort of loading issue or something that causes the textures to get twitchy. Maybe too much caffeine in the Ryncol?

I can see that triggering some epileptic episodes though. Definitely want to get it fixed soonest.

Reposting from earlier with some updates.

These are some of the issues I'm having after Patch 1.05, in no particular order:

• Female Ryder is invisible towards the end of movie night (romanced Suvi).
• All loading screens now say "Building shaders..."
• SAM reports I have email when I don't.
• Task: Earn Your Badge doesn't update as completed after reporting to Andraknor.
• Task: Watchers doesn't update once you've followed the navpoint and cleared the site; SAM just says, "Stand by" (you're supposed to access a console and fight another wave of kett).
• Task: Nomad Shield Crafting doesn't update as completed.
• Item Loot Boxes are bugged. They give you nothing when opened. This is apparently a known issue that occurs only when you're between levels 61-70 (see here).
• I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I've explored everything in the Heleus Cluster to 100% and I'm only at 96% overall progression. Apparently, it's not enough to scan every planet, you also need to finish every single one of the additional tasks.
• Armour and weapon vendors no longer have things to sell.
• Some dialogues keep repeating themselves even when you've already completed the related quest. Example: on Voeld, after finding the Asari ark, you still talk to SAM about tracking down the ship's location.

I'll update this list if I remember anything else.

On PC, it maxed at 500, not counting auto saves and chapter save points. I had to start recycling the earlier saves.

Don't delete them. That didn't work for me. Apparently the save logic is poorly written and still thinks you have 500 saves even if you delete all but the last dozen or so. Despite the deletion of files, it wouldn't save any new ones, even though I could use the manual save option.

On EA answers found this workaround for "Cannot Create More Saved Data For This Application " on PS4 IF you have cloud storage go to settings> application save data management >saved datain online storage > delete> choose Mass Effect Andromeda file> choose saves to delete.
Start from bottom .

Doesn't work for me as I don't use cloud.

Most of my list has been covered in some of the above posts.

1) Flickering when landing the Tempest, but it happens mostly on Voeld. (reminds me of a Jefferson Airplane video )

2) Sam always says I have new email, even after I have checked it (and re-checked it).

3) Disappearing Ryder in the final scene of movie night (Jaal is doing his best Marcel Marceau impression of cuddling with his gal)

4) One freeze during scanning among the systems. It was a derelict Kett ship - all items were collected, but the controls/GUI didn't show or respond.

5) At least one "!" point in Codex, that won't clear. Doesn't matter if I read it, "Mark All Read", or both.

On the PC, and here are my specs:

Win 10
CPU FX8350
GPU GTX 1080 FTW 8g Vram (Nvidia Driver 378.92)
RAM DDR3 16G
PSU Corsair 750W
SSD 500g

Am reporting to EA Help, as soon as I get the time. (later today/tonight)

Just switched over to "explorer" profile. The biotic dash through obstacles is awesome.... except when you go through walls and end up in a never ending fall that you are unable to recover from. Happened to my 3 or 4 times last night on the mission where we are trying to rescue Moshae. Trail of Hope I think.

Also was able to find a spot where I could boost through a wall to an inaccessible safe room to recharge shields. That was cool.

One thing I just noticed on Kadara...my first close-up conversation....Ryder's complexion has changed dramatically.  He's gone from a early-20s with clear skin....to mid-30s with acne/age spots.

Strike console is bugged all to heck for me. If I complete a mission, the exp pop up screen won't go away. I can click R1 and still cycle the options but the team option won't let me pick new missions with the screen still there. Have to use the app or do it through MP and that works fine.

Also leveled my strike team to 20 through the app and never recieved the trophy.

I've had that issue from launch. Most of the icons across the top have that mark, even if I've read every entry and checked every inventory item, I still have the 'new item here!' indicator.

- CUTSCENES: Bad frame rate drops during cutscenes. It makes me absolutely hate cutscenes. And planet traveling.

- CONVERSATIONS: When the camera is zoomed into the faces, the textures looks great. But when the camera angle changes to a more zoomed out (top 2/3 body), everything looks blurry for a few seconds before clearing up. It makes every conversation annoying ,because they switch between those two shots over and over in EVERY conversation.

- POST patch - people get that fish lip thing when they talk now. Never did before the patch, now I see it all the time!

Info: I'm on a PC, and from other posts with folks, my computer should allow me to run on high or at worst, medium settings (I have run every other recent big games like this on ultra or high, so I am annoyed in general at how much is needed for this game...but oh well).  I have textures and meshes on high, all post-processing and lighting and effects and ambient occlusion either set to low or off. V-sync is also off.
