ME:A Bugs and Troubleshooting.

The first time I started the game after the patch it loaded OK but as soon as the game started it Froze my PC and I had to hard boot. Next time I had no issues.

So I noticed something odd. It may be a problem with the new shaders they added. I just destroyed the Kett Base on Voeld. Now when you are blowing up the fighters there obviously is smoke. I had all my settings on ultra but as soon as I did that the screen flickered. Turned it to high and no issue. So I'm wondering if something broke with the added shaders?
Oh my rig is
EVGA FTW 1070
I7 4790 3.6 turbo'd to 4.0
16 gig ddr3 ram
win 10 64
ASUS Hero VII MOBO
Corsair 1000wpsu

Yeah, I did. Several times in fact.

Look I've defended the game and I love it. But zero issues? I have to ask did you start on day one no patches?

😃

It was actually. The only issues I had were the before patched animations and some bugged quests. Overall that's it. Maybe a few FPS issues but overall not the buggiest game I've played. *stares at Superman 64.*

Oh I did. Once. Never looked back.

A few things, one since 1.08, one since 1.09 and one that carries over from the beginning, that I'd wished they would fix. First, the new(er) stuff.

Weapon menu, post 1.09 patch. Ugh. In MP, when I change a mod for a weapon, it automatically cycles back to the first weapon in that class, so I have to scroll down or up to get to the weapon I'm trying to change mods upon. In SP, same thing, but the added bonus that I can't change the mod in a weapon that is further down the list, it will add the mod to the first weapon in the list. I have to equip that weapon, then change the mod, then unequip and go back to the weapon I wish to carry. The only way it works as intended, is if I only have one weapon in that weapon class.

Since patch 1.08, in a game begun post patch 1.08, had what I thought was the game locking up after a reload to a save point (either autosave or manual) but it turned out to be Very Sloooooooow Loading ... then, once past that stretch of game play (once I got to a new map left that map and came back) the slow load went away and everything returned to normal. Have a new game, just started, where it did the same thing. Taking care of minor stuff on Eos, after visiting Aya. This time I knew to wait for the load ... had it happen on two different parts of Eos ... then everything smoothed out and load times were back to normal.

An oldie but goodie ...

From initial release, the screen goes dark most of the time when selecting menus in SP. It happens rarely in game, but does happen. I'm told it's a problem with HDR ... even though it is not "active" ... mucking up the visuals for a non-HDR monitor ... this may or may not be true, just what I've read. Still not fixed, even after 1.06, (1.07), 1.08 and 1.09 ... really past the time when that should have been fixed.

So not sure if this is a bug or what but something's up with the remnant destroyer on H407c. He is unkillable and remnant keep spawning around him. I can take down his turrets but after that his shield will not go down and remnant swarm me. I did not have this issue in my first run.

Same here. I will reload and pick some different weapons and consumables and see what happens.

I haven't no.
I won't have a chance to check before I have to go to work as I'm getting ready for bed and work is early tomorrow. If anyone knows if I've stumbled on a bug let me know so I can report it.

I'm too lazy to go back and find reference to the bug in this thread, but I found one that I think can be mitigated.

Voeld. Medical supply cache at the daar ruins. Wounded Angara. After defeating the Kett, can't engage in a conversation with her, so she never shows up at the base. Discovered that there were two cloaked critters (green dogs, can't remember what they're called) that need to be killed to allow the minor quest scene to play out. Went deeper into the ruins of the daar, beyond where the injured Angara was and found the green "dogs", killed them, went back to the injured Angara and could interact with her. When I got back to the resistence HQ, she was in the infirmary.

It's somewhat similar to the scene at the lost supplies on Voeld, where the Kett ambush results in one of the Kett being far away from the rest, typically well up the hill and the quest won't complete until you find that Kett and kill it. At least with the medical caches, the quest can progress and complete, you just lose the conversation and saving of the Angara fighter.
