Legendary Bugs | Fandom

Swqanda·10/28/2023 in Gameplay/Multiplayer

Hello, I'm a Mass Effect Tragic. By that I mean I have now purchased ME on 3.5 different platforms. I say 3.5 because I think there was some cross-over between Mac/PC versions through Steam.

In other words, Mac, PC, Xbox and now PS via the Legendary Edition.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for Mako torture.

Regardless, I'd like to hear from others if it's just particular to the Legendary Edition or peculiar to the PS version that there are a lot of bugs?

I don't recall experiencing even a tenth the amount of issues I am with the PS5 Legendary Edition games. Complain as I might about other issues, bugs were never a big one for me in any other version. But in ME1 alone I've encountered a bucketful of them. From entire bases not appearing on the map until I've exited the Mako, thus imprisoning the Mako underneath the base, utterly inaccessible to me and requiring going back to an earlier save, or glitchy faces (especially the X57 scientist, yeesh that was freaky) or just vanilla crashes in the Saren/Sovereign fight that required replaying it seven times before it finally got through to the Council scenes, these are not things that I recall ever happening in other versions.

Am I alone in this or is this a known problem for others as well?

Same as @Lethal blade00 I've played it through twice on PS (once on PS4 and once on PS5) and never encountered any bugs. I don't what's going on with your version.

I’ve had the issue where Im hiding behind cover and when I finally get out of cover my character stays looking in the same direction when I was hiding behind a wall. Im still able to shoot at my targets but its very uncomfortable cuz my shepherd stays facing the same direction and sometimes can’t see who Im shooting at. Still love this game with all its defects and shit haha

Yes! That's another bug I'm having. It's like it just 'locks' onto something, usually in the ground somewhere, and it doesn't seem to matter what I do to unlock it, it just requires time, which is incredibly annoying if it happens during a fight.

Another one is the Mako getting 'stuck'. Wheels will spin but no motion. I'll exit the Mako and find it's moved in whatever direction I'd been moving in but my character has exited where the Mako was before exiting. And this can happen multiple times, i.e. I'll run to enter the Mako, spin a wheel, exit, run to Mako, spin, etc. until it again 'unlocks' itself somehow.

And on top of that, I'm also now dealing with Sony's really awful customer service around repairing a very well known issue with their controllers (drift). I'm starting to regret getting a PS5 to be honest.

I'm on Xbox and it's not terribly buggy. There are a couple though

The stick drift is fixed on Newer versions. I have never had that problem even though I have a controller version that is prone to it. I have never eaten crisps or things with crumbs over the controller

I own it on both Xbox one and PC through Origins and I haven't noticed any weird bugs. The only one I noticed (and made me laugh) was when one of my paddle fish escaped the fish tank and was "swimming" around the cabin in ME3 which was the xbox version.

In my play throughs with both the Xbox Series X & PS5 I have never encountered any bugs. Now there is a “bug or cheat” when getting Liara. You can drive it all the way through the entire way up to you enter to get her. There’s a trick to it. Also try and not to have many save files. If you have too many, it can cause bugs

I have Mel on my Xbox. IT does have a couple of bugs. Sometimes my shepard when riding the docking bay elevator in me1 hell fall through the elevator door and slowly fall. In me2, if I interrupt the kaiden/Ashley conversation before the colony gets attacked by the collectors, my companions will glide across the field. When either happens I just restart the mission and it works fine.

Again check to see if you have too many saved files or simply re install MELE

What do you think?
