MASS EFFECT 2 PS3 PATCH info

[PorkChopXpress]

Straight from Bioware:

"Hello everyone

First, we are sorry some of you have had problems playing Mass Effect 2 on the Playstation 3 and want to thank you all for providing feedback on our forums on both the freezing and resulting save game issue that some of you have experienced. The information and support you have provided has helped the development team to build the latest patch. We?re currently testing the patch thoroughly, we expect to be finished our quality passes on Friday. This patch is then being delivered to Sony ASAP for verification and distribution. We will announce as soon the patch is available. Please see the below patch notes for a complete list of what will be included:

Patch Notes
-Fixed a crash related to memory fragmentation. This fix will also resolve the crashing that corrupted Save Games.
-Slightly improved load times and level streaming.
-Added some telemetry to better improve future titles.
-Updated some strings to fix spelling mistakes (Sorry Kaidan!)
-Fixed the picture frame in Shepard?s Cabin to accurately reflect your love interest choices in Mass Effect: Genesis.
-Fixed a rare crash in the PSN version in Shepard?s Cabin.

We want you to be able to continue playing while you wait for the patch. While data and telemetry have shown that very few people have seen this issue, we know a few of you here have experienced this problem. There is a very simple work around to ensure the freezing and corruption issues are minimized. Simply restart your game every few hours. By shutting down and restarting your game, you will not encounter the corrupted save issue.?

Once again, thank you for your feedback which has helped us get to a resolution"


YES! Good news!

Still getting sloppy seconds off the xbox though NO BAD JUDGEMENT

In all honestly I have ME2 for both consoles (Shut up) and I'm liking the PS3 version a bit more than the 360 so yes indeed GOOD NEWS!

Irregardless of which console you own it for, it's a great game! I own it on PS3 and I think it's badass. I can't wait for 3!

And here I'm still waiting for BioWare to fix the bug that makes Shepard randomly float into the sky on the PC (and 360?).

They've had almost a year to fix it now, but apparently we're not important enough at this point?

Has Mass Effect always been of the those "buggy" franchises? Like Fallout?

Do you...like double negatives?

Anyway, this glitch was scaring me until now. Glad to hear it was fixed long before I even got a PS3.

Ah, I see what I did there, apologies. I'm American, double negatives are part of our culture. All I was saying was regardless what system you have it on, it's a fun game...agreed?

Ha ha. I had that happen to me once on the 360 version in Mordin's clinic. I had just fought my way through on Insane, and then I go through the door and float in to the sky. RAGE!

But...but the PS3 version is missing so many of the small details! Shiala, Rana, Conrad! I must disagree, for I think the 360 version is slightly better. However, still a great game all around on both platforms!

Glad they are fixing the picture problem. I was like, "Um...I choose Liara. I'm sad that you're dead Kaiden, but that doesn't mean I want your picture on my desk." How about the patch includes Shiala, Rana, Conrad, and all the other things. That would be AWESOME!

I have had ME2 for PS3 and have been playing it for nearly 24 hours now and have found no problems :/
I must just be lucky. But it's good to see that they are working on something.

Not nearly as bad as Fallout, but they don't seem very concerned with fixing gameplay bugs that aren't immediately game-breaking either.

For me it usually happens right next to Kelly on the Normandy, and also on the recruitment mission for The Krogan, and on the foggy mining planet you visit for an assignment.

EDIT: At least with Kelly it's reversible, since talking to her will bring you back to the ground.
