Mass Effect Andromeda Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
relaxed_Taurus (@relaxed_Taurus) reported@DejavionL75163 @Battlefield @masseffect Valorant requires this. Also The Finals and ARC Raiders in Future. Most gamers haven't even noticed this because Secure Boot is enabled by default in modern systems and is a system requirement for Windows 11 anyway. It's also entirely a "YOU" problem.

Rowèna Vashar, Evil Artist (@rowenavart) reported@TigoODonnell Yeah, like this is a baffling statement bc I do not think there is a way to make mass effect more like television/cinema than it already is. Unless the problem is that today's media ecosystem moves too fast for something like a Star Trek or BSG to thrive

J. Y. Song (@Critical_Scribe) reportedPeople just need to accept when their stuff just isn’t very good at its core. I didn’t find the gameplay to be the issue with Andromeda, though it could have done with better level design. It was the writing, and many people play Mass Effect for the writing. The plot felt boring to go through and lacked the gravitas that the original Mass Effect had. Things happened, but never did I really think they mattered all that much. That is very much due to the party members, who didn’t feel all that distinctive at all from on another or were just so forgettable beyond their shared snark that I just tuned them out after a while. The dialogue choices themselves lacked any weight because most of the time you just said the same thing, but either as a jerk or a nice person. That makes choosing dialogue a chore, not something you really have to think about. The combat was pretty good though, I’ll give it that, though rather than letting us switch to all classes I’d rather they have much more robust class systems with deeper skills and specializations. That creates much more unique scenarios per playthrough rather than just swapping to whatever at any point in the game. Recognize your faults when people point them out. Dismissing those criticizing it at “chuds” is such a cope you just sound pathetic.

Kevin (@themoralskeptic) reportedThe last thing we heard is this was to be set after the trilogy. My suspicion is it’s intended as a lead-in to the next game. The problem is executives who want to use a well-loved IP to make money, but don’t understand why it’s well-loved. This is literally the problem Amazon had with Wheel of Time. If they disregard the existing fandom to that extent with Mass Effect, the show will suffer the same fate, but worse: it’s likely to have a knock-on effect of dooming BioWare in the eyes of EA’s new owners. The next Mass Effect would have to be an Expedition 33-level runaway success to insulate the studio from this degree of fallout.

fsrmn (@fsrmn_) reported@PMaka1991 Compilation of games (like AC: The Ezio Collection, Halo: MCC, Crash, Mass Effect, etc.) also needs separation of lists! 🏆
-
rosestar999 (@rosestar999) reported@masseffect can we please get mass effect Andromeda opted in for the Nvidia now streaming service? It's the only way is folks with lower end PCs can play it.
-
Skyforge2841 (@skyforge2841) reported@Pilatus_Arts I honestly think they should remake Mass Effect Andromeda. Fix the story, fix the combat, fix the game engine, fix MANY of the characters, and give us 12 squad mates, 30 explorable worlds, 15 of them for colonies, and more new aliens!
-
Richardius (@CrossKeyedGamer) reported@irockithere @RenfailSoL “Immersion.” I had no problem feeling immersed in KOTOR, Mass Effect, or any ES title. It’s a game after all. Looking at screen, sitting a room. There’s a limit. No loading screen doesn’t make you feel like a citizen of the game. Like 0.5% more.
-
👁 (@rraiden_5) reported@reddrakonmo I don’t think shep not being in andremonda was really the problem, it was mainly everything outside of combat at most being mediocre. Andremonda did feed into the idea that Shepard is Mass Effect which is why your seeing BioWare pivot back to the Milky Way and showing liara.
-
Aaron Morton (@KalisKhrom) reported@malanorea @BimbleWizard In Mass Effect one? Yeah, okay. It's a skill issue that the sniper rifle was so poorly programmed that the bullet literally teleports behind the target. Was fixed in Mass Effect 2.
-
Sarah (@yphy6e) reported**** YOU @EA LET MASS EFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION RUN ON MY STEAM DECK WITHOUT YOUR BROKEN *** LAUNCHER
-
Celest (@CelestOrion) reported@neetori_ch I had an issue with Mass Effect 3 (PS3 disc) where I couldn't get past a certain area in a mission. It was a tiny scratched area. Toothpaste scrubbing. Apparently it was just ever abrasive enough to buff out the scratch. I was able to finish the game!
-
Chris (Man Who Games) (@AlternateUrge) reportedSeen some takes on this going around, so I'll put my two cents in as a Bioware fanboy Bioware needs to make another Mass Effect, this is non-negotiable. But their problem is not needing a new IP or whatever, their problem is a fundamental flaw with their development (1/6)
-
usher jennifer hudson kapoor (@xtianjing) reportedBeen following Shepard for 3 games and he ended up DYING?!? After ALL i’ve done to unite the galaxy?!?!? you guys better fix it in the next installment @masseffect
-
Bit Azure (@Bit_Azure) reportedAn example, you could look at the buggy mess that was Mass Effect Andromeda and go "yeah this game isnt finished" but you would not be a good reference point for how the economy and triggers were broken like myself who hate played 100+ hours of the game to prove a point.
-
Star Wars Timeline (Ben) 🇷🇺🇺🇸 (@SWT_Channel) reportedMy first issue was calling it a Mass Effect game. If they called it "College Diaries in Space" or anything else, the fan reception wouldn't have justly burdained it with the franchise's expectations. BioWare and EA's disastrous experiments with full scale planets floped, the project ran aimless for years, and all veterans were replaced by college interns on their FLAGSHIP franchise. It's one retarded decision after the other that spelled doom for Andromeda.

Does this unit have a soul? (@somewillwin) reported@LFaunts I’m…. Weary. I’m not a fan of adapting choice based games (I have this same issue with the upcoming mass effect show) But I have also been pleasantly surprised with the names associated to it
-
Will (@Iceman0686) reported@WeAreMassEffect I was hoping for more Andromeda content or at least a new DLC bridging the Andromeda galaxy to Mass Effect 5. One of Andromedas big problems was dialogue. They tried to make it sound like a 'CW' teen show. Mass Effect is supposed to be gritty and dark not childish teen angst.
-
Elysian Fields: Reborn launching 3/28/25 (@ElysianFields_0) reportedSo I saw the comments from the director about Andromeda, and I have to admit, he has some points. I played Starfield for 2 hours and then played, and best Mass Effect Andromeda rather than finish that. Andromeda has its problems, but at least its not Starfield.
-
Someone’s Favorite Problematic J Name (@heymrholman) reported@StabbyPotat0 Walking Dead, Mass effect 3 (only if you played the previous 2) and lowkey Borderlands 2 was PEAK
-
James Bennett 🏳️🌈🇺🇦🌈 (@UncleUrdnot8291) reported@luskybe @havonetae @kalaelizabeth Except it's a fanon conclusion, not canon. In canon, yes the cycle is broken so we can't be sure, but Mass Effect has a fairly realistic take on human nature. Conflict is inevitable. Might not happen straight away, but it will in some form, large or small scale.
-
TrustNoOne (@ErrickMedina) reported@masseffect servers down?
-
The Gaming Cowboy (@ThatHorseGuy117) reportedApologies for ending the Mass Effect 3 stream early. The audio issues between the quiet dialogue and overly loud SFX were creating a frankly awful viewer experience. I am definitely going to try and find a way to fix that for next time.
-
FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported“Busy workin” is not an update. It’s what studios say when they need players to stay calm while they figure out whether the next thing is actually coherent. Mass Effect doesn’t have a lore problem. BioWare has a trust problem. Silence stops feeling strategic when the last few years went the way they did.
-
Doc Savage (@DocSavage45899) reported@DynamoSuperX Hmm.. the only problem is, this is sounding like Mass Effect. It would need to be done right..
-
Lobo (@LahuLobo) reportedOkay so APPARENTLY Mass Effect 1 Legendary will ALWAYS crash when I try to mark weapons as junk in my inventory and throw them out. Why... WHY
-
John Smith (@JohnSmi04183166) reported@RobustandTangy @poems_past I will never forget the crash out he had when people were not paying attention to this boring **** during his Alan Sleep playthrough. The chat was discussing football and Mass Effect waifus and this pig rogged out and started banning LMFAO
-
ace_eisu (@ace_eisu) reported@kalaelizabeth See I feel like that's the issue to me. People want Mass Effect and there's certainly very strong elements of what Mass Effect is which Andromeda lacks some of and other part of community which thinks of ME as tale of Commander Shepherd and that's why it struggled the most.
-
Quesomodo (@TheQuesomodo) reported@ABasicAlt @kalaelizabeth Because if they crash and burn with a new IP, the Mass Effect title still has value to sell off. I am well aware they are working on the Next Mass Effect game, and I really hope that it won't be awful... but hope in one hand....
-
Imapeeplenow (@demon_slick) reportedGot that Mass Effect deal for 6$ and playing the campaign from ME1 but it had me solving mysteries and **** so I just hopped in my ship and headed to the stars. Trouble is, I'm weak AF because I didn't do all the missions.
