Anyone having problems since Mass Effect patch and DC?

Mike89 · 08-03-08, 01:07 AM

I never had any problems playing Mass Effect. Now after installing the patch and downloadable content, I'm having some problems. In some cutscenes, the screen will turn to colors. I can still hear the dialog and can still access the menu but can't play. Reloading doesn't fix the problem, only exiting the game and going back in fixes it. I also changed to the 280 during this time with the 280 official drivers. So dunno if it's the drivers or the patch/DC.

Get the 1.01a patch if you haven't. It was release a few days ago to address bugs created by the 1.01 patch.

don't forget 1.01b, its to fix the bugs that was caused by 1.01a which tried to fix 1.01.

Come on guys, he just asked a question, no need to drag this out.

Here is the 1.01a patch. It is the latest version available.

It might help.

More likely though, since its a graphical issue and you changed graphics cards and drivers, its probably a driver issue.
