The ME Bug List thread

Hadn't really had much problem with the Illium ctd corridor bug before, but had a bad time with it recently. The culprit was the specific AA mode I was trying to force, or at least that in combo with other tweaks possibly (maybe altered shadow resolution).

Does anyone else have an issue with a particular ladder in the Leviathan DLC? It's on the planet where you rescue that doctor from the huge reapers attack. When I try to slide down one of the ladders, I keep getting stuck, the animation shows Shepard in a position of sliding but he doesn't, then he just stops in the same spot.
Eventually I had to reload and try it a few more times before I got down randomly one time.

In a thread I made today, I got the tip of mentioning a really odd problem I hat with the Firewalker missions. So despite the fact that in the end it worked out some how, I guess it could not hurt to report it in here. I am curious about it. And please forgive me, but I am going to place a link of my thread here instead of explaining it here again.

PS3 Oh I am having a bug infested run of ME1. Ash got stuck in an elevator door on the Presidium, that was odd and mildly amusing. But the trouble starts on Feros.

I went to Feros first (suprised at how hard it is to save Jeong, i failed, not that i have any love for him but the flirty comment from Ash afterwards is a treat.) and my team kept getting stuck. They just stand there pointing a gun at thin air where a geth or varren used to be. I've done it twice, once with an Ash/Kaidan combo and once with Garrus and Liara. Ash is bad, Garrus and Liara were both often nowhere to be seen. Luckily they'd teleport in for fights and cutscenes.

The Garrus and Liara knock out the colonists mission ended oddly. Arcelia got stuck in a wall, stopped firing at us but was equally not registered as unconscious, so remained as hostile (she's pretty hostile anyway, I suppose) and it wouldn't let me raise the ship to reveal the secret passage until I bunged a grenade at her. I did find a secret stash of grenades which i'd missed on previous visits though, because otherwise i couldn't physically kill her or knock her out.

And between Zhu's Hope and the ExoGeni tower the Mako seemed to break my game entirely. I'm merrily driving along, trying to kill geth when the Mako just stopped. Nothing worked, i couldn't jump or shoot, i couldn't even get out. I can't remember if i was actively getting fired at but there was not register or damage on my TV screen, no smoke, no fire, no red bits on the Mako icon...nothing. Then I got the "Saren" music and the game just kicked me out, no red screen, not "reload last save" (a bummer, it was ages ago, of course)it just threw me back to the start screen. Reloading had to be from the last hard save, not auto save.

Onwards to Noveria and there's something odd at Peak 15, and it's not just the Rachni. People disappear, when they're talking, sometimes not entirely. Yes, there's the lady on Feros working on the power system who seems to duck whenever Shepard starts taking to her, I assume she's very shy, but then I got to peak 15. I approach the turian guard outside the quarantine lab (yeah, the one who won't die. I met him again later, he and Kaidan embarked in a two way futile firefight for about 5 seconds before I decided to leave them to it.) He won't let me in, maybe it's because Shepard is invisible except for his head and neck! It was both the funniest and most disturbing thing i've seen in ages. Shep, I know you're an Infiltrator but you don't get Tactical Cloak til ME2! The turian scientist who interupts Han Olar in the middle of the same room did it two, one minute he's standing next to the human guy, the minute he talks, bam! he's gone. Peak 15, weird crap.

But I did beat Benezia for the first time without dying, so it's not all bad news.

I'm on an Xbox; but I've regularly experienced Arcelia getting stuck in a wall like that for me.  Ledra also is one who can get stuck in behind the railing; and Hannah Murai sometimes gets stuck under the freighter.  If stuck, they can usually be dropped with an Anti-Thorian grenade lobbed right at the place where they are stuck.  (I normally try really hard though to have my Shepard punch everyone unconscious and no use any of the grenades... for the toxic reason Shepard states).  Anyway, on rare occasion, that hasn't worked and I've had to restart that area.  I now habitually save just before taking the elevator (i.e. just after I've dealt with all the creepers and the first 4 colonists in the garage).

The un-dead Turian can usually be handled by just leaving the area entirely (heading back up to elevator or out the maintenance tunnel).  Eventually, your squad will usually just teleport in behind you.

I've never had the mako freeze up like that nor have I had friendly NPCs disappear or Shepard "cloak" in ME1 though.

BTW - Watched your video on the Varren Meat Glitch... great job!  LMAO.

I'm doing at least a brief return to a Shepard I haven't touched in a while. He's on the Mordin recruitment mission. Just got to the point where I found some looters standing over a dead turian. I shot them with a missile launcher. They disappeared. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Can you just shoot them with a weapon and end any conversation with them?

My guests keep getting uninvited on the Citadel DLC. I've been inviting people up piecemeal, waiting until I've met with them before sending out the invite. However, the next time I'd go to invite someone it would be reduced to the autoinvited: Traynor, Cortez, James, Liara, Joker and EDI - the people who would be alive in any playthrough. Anyone who might have died on Virmire or the Suicide Mission gets uninvited unless I have the party immediately after the invitations go out.


EDIT: Further result was that when I tried to have Thane's memorial service, I was immediately brought back to Glyph to have the party.  Meanwhile, Kolyat, Bailey and the salarian councilor are all by the piano staring at a picture of Thane.  They aren't speaking or doing anything else.  Tried to post a screenshot but I don't have a site that hosts images and apparently linking to an image stored on Google Drive doesn't work.

I've seen my Shepard with weird neck twists.  Like, he'll be in the former XO office talking to Liara but have his head turned completely away from her.  It's like he can't start to look at her or something.  I forget if it only happens at this time but it's very noticeable.  

Okay I am not certain whether it is a true bug, or a freak of nature glitch screaming "You are punked   ". But it is very weird / annoying no matter if it is a bug or a freak glitch.


Yesterday all achievements I hat earned so far in ME2 where there ... but I just wanted to play a bit. I remembered that I hat not researched the latest Sniper Rifle Damage I found so I did that. Afterwards I checked my achievements, ( I do not know why, but I did. ) and that was the moment that several achievements that where there yesterday, are suddenly gone. Achievements like the squad recruitments??



Any one else hat this happen, and if so where you some how able to get them back? I tried reloading previous save-games, but that did nothing for the achievements that disappeared. If it helps I play ME2 in Origin. 

I get the Traynor issues as well.

As for Kelly, any time I've romanced Kelly (i.e went so far as to sneak some in the middle of the docks holding area - MaleShep), it has locked out all the other romance options; just as locking into a romance option with someone else has locked out the option of sneaking off with Kelly.

For Aethyta, I always assumed she was being dramatic rather than it being a bug.  Interesting to know.

It was weird when I heard Conrad talk about Shepard shoving a gun in his face when that never happened.  I kept imagining he was dramatizing when he took a picture of me in a gun-holding action pose.

Any one have an idea why this happened to my male Shepard? ( Or if anything can be done about it? )
