Mass Effect PC patch 'coming soon'

by David Hinkle on Feb 2nd 2009 1:00PM

It's been a long time coming, but BioWare has finally informed us that a patch is in the works for the PC version of Mass Effect . Word comes via the official forums, where community coordinator Chris Priestly posted a note on the planned update.

Priestly says that Bioware has been watching the community and gathering feedback from various users having issues with the ported game. The patch, being developed by BioWare and Demiurge, will work with all versions of Mass Effect PC (including retail and those from Steam and other digital distribution sources) and should be available "soon."

Sheperd looks really weird in that picture

Yep, because the true sheperd is the woman :p The voice acting for her is much better imo.

I disagree. IMO I feel the male voice is better. He comes across more natural and less forced in his acting. But again, that is my opinion. At least we both have a favorite :-)

Fun Fact

The voice of Female Sheppard did Bastila Shan in KoToR (also by Bioware)

Jennifer Hale is her name.

(she also did Naomi in the Metal Gear Solid series)

Also, I agree the female voice was far too forced, which was disappointing. This is coming from a big fan of the acting for Bastila Shan too. Overall, I thought it was the supporting characters that had the best voice acting, not the main ones.

Another interesting fact, is the female love interest in this game did the voice of Carth in KoToR.

Good timing, i haven't bought the game yet and its only 20 dollars.

Yeah, thats fine and dandy. Now if Steam would only let me FINISH DOWNLOADING the damn thing I would be happy.

I hope this fixes the sound problems. Every time I go into menu and come back to the game sound just goes static on me. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from Steam so many times it doesn't seem to work.

I love how Joystiq tosses 'port' in there like it's some kind of bad word. There's nothing wrong with a port, especially when the game was developed for a platform that is more or less a computer anyway.

All platforms are more or less computers. In fact, I could suggest that since the PS3 allows you to do Linux installs and the Wii has a web browser that those systems are more "computer-like" than the 360 is.

@akamagi

I think Marty was referring to the 360's architecture which is so similar to the PC bar a few bits. Meaning that porting from 360 to PC is super easy and shouldn't create a loss in quality, unless you're rockstar....

That is exactly what I meant, Klepto.

AkaMagi made a stupid argument anyway - by that logic, the DS would be "more like a computer" than the 360.

hopefully it will fix the glitchy shadows on faces

DRM removal?

Buy the Steam version.

...Unless you already bought it retail, which is your fault.

How about some more frigging DLC?

Agreed 110%

I'd rather ME2.

Or Dragon Age

speaking of PC, why dont we get a PC tab for all that news?

Here here, PC is pretty much the only platform I game on.

Yeah, at least link to BigDownload.

Controller support please!!!

In other news id confirms a patch for Doom 2 is in the works.

Yes, because a 7 month old game and a 20 year old game both need updating

i Still think Big Download deserves its own tab.

arghh. This was at Deez.

So what is actually needing to be patched? Mine has always worked fine...

Same here, I enjoyed it more on PC, and that's odd since I usually never play games on my pc.

I think the 360 version could use an update as well. Seriously, how hard would it be for them to give us a new inventory interface? I'm sure they've already got one in the works for Mass Effect 2.

Plus if you copy your game to the 360 to play the game from the hard drive (as per the NXE) you get an audio glitch when you save (or it autosaves) the game and it cuts out the music after the save. That would be a worthy bug fix.
