ME:A Bugs and Troubleshooting.

On PC, mostly post patch 1.07.

Finished a play through last night ... previous finish was with patch 1.06 when it first came out ... had no problems with the entry into the control area or in the battle with the Archon's Architect or any of the mooks. Last night, there were spawning issues ... the mob spawned well back of the first entrance (which we are to battle stuff until clear, then enter). Instead, I had to go back down into the valley approach, engage mooks, so that eventually, stuff would spawn at the entrance. Something similar in the final boss battle. Stuff wasn't spawning correctly, so I'm moving around the map, trying to get stuff to spawn ... so I can kill them ... so that the relevant hacks can begin.  It's not that nothing was spawning, just that it wasn't spawning near to me ... so mostly, it wouldn't engage me.

Running around with the previous play through, came upon a Remnant location that I'd not been to before, on Eos. The Remnant were spawning inside the structure. At some junctions, the Assemblers could shoot me from inside the wall. In one instance, a breecher spawned in the open, but the rest of the Remnant were inside the structure and not visible. My AF eventually killed them all, some of the "corpses" showed up outside the structure, once they were dead. They were spawning below me as I stood atop the flat structure ... don't know if that particular structure could raise up (like a vault entrance) or have an entrance if the correct side quest is triggered ... no idea ... but this was a bit new and sorta resembled the dorked up spawning I was seeing on Meridian maps.

Another issue, AVP now seems bugged ... constantly spammed with points with no Nexus level up. I've gained ~19 cryo points in the timeframe from Nexus level 19 to level 23. I went to a previous play's save game, checked it out ... it was previously bugged, could never get beyond 19 total cryo points, even though I'm now at Nexus level 25. Tried running around doing stuff, but really don't have much left in that game, to score Andromeda points ... so can't tell if that game is bugged at 19 or if it will develop the new bug if I earn any AVP.

It's baaaaaack ... the SAM bogus email notification. Not as bad as before, but definitely back with patch 1.07.

Still can't complete the Nomad shield upgrade ... it drops from the quest list, but never actually completes. Edit add: New play through, created after patch 1.07, the shield upgrade will complete, but the item does not disappear from the development list.

Still can't complete "The Watchers" side quest ... SAM will say "stand by" and the quest active mission symbol disappears from view, the active quest descriptor disappears from the upper right corner, but the quest does not complete and stays in the log.

The "Badges" quest is still bugged ... it didn't bite me in my first run, was able to complete it ... but with patch 1.07, it hit me. It existed prior, so this is not new ... not sure what I did differently in two runs, that got hit with it in the second, but not the first. I can't talk to the Angara ambassador in the Nexus cultural center, the "E" button activates, but does nothing, so I can't finish the quest, because I can't talk to him.  Don't know if this is connected, but he has a green "ally" symbol instead of the usual NPC quest hexagon designation on the hud.  Bradly has something similar on Eos, but I don't have anything to interact with him, wrt a quest, so don't know if that is relevant.  Edit add: New play through, created after patch 1.07, was able to complete the quest.
