Mass Effect 3 Character Importation Bug Fix Coming This Week

Alongside the free multiplayer additions coming next week, Bioware is also offering a series of bug fixes, which includes a fix for the character importation errors. Most of the other incidents seem like very specific isolated incidents that weren't widespread. The patch will be available on PC on the April 9, and Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on April 10. Here's the full list of fixes:

  • Fixed issues when in some cases Shepard’s customized facial features from ME1/ME2 may not be properly imported to ME3
  • Fixed an issue when quickly and repeatedly selecting to Resume a Save could result in Player Level reset and a potential locking of powers.
  • Fixed an issue when selecting Multiplayer in the Main Menu while under a poor network connection could result in an unresponsive state.
  • Fixed a potential crash while accessing an in-game terminal from Eden Prime level.
  • Fixed an issue when attempting to login while Server is down. It would display a Server Down message and accepting the Server Shutdown message would shut down the game.
  • Fixed a potential memory crash while loading a Quick Save of a custom FemShep.
  • Fixed an issue when restarting missions and acquiring an above max amount of weapon mods results in displayed debug text on-screen.
  • Fixed an issue when an unresponsive game state could occur during transition after the Conduit level.
  • Fixed an issue when DLC game saves can be accessed from an account without DLC if another account on the same computer has access to the related DLC. (PC Only)
  • Fixed an issue when saves from different accounts on the same computer may become locked if one account has access to DLC which the other account does not. (PC Only)
  • Fixed an issue when potentially the game could enter unresponsive state when transitioning from the Holding Docks area to the Normandy Docks area of the Citadel. (PS3 Only)

Now if they could only fix the bug where the game constantly reminds you that your powers cannot be used during cooldown.

  • • Fixed an issue when restarting missions and acquiring an above max amount of weapon mods results in displayed debug text on-screen.

    That was the only glitch I experienced.

  • Where is the fix for the black screen after the ending?

  • Fun fact: importation is actually a word.

  • Well ain't that nice, right when I returned it back to Gamefly...

  • Or they could just remake the whole game...>_>

  • Has anyone else run across the bug where a squad member can get stuck somewhere and fall behind, which causes eardrum-bursting explosions of static any time they shoot? It's kind of ridiculous, really.

    Also, I'd like to see the framerate smoothed out some, too. It's a beautiful game, but it slows down somewhat when it's in motion, at least in my experience.

  • nope

  • Yummy patch.

  • I should be getting my copy of ME3 this week and I can now rest safely knowing I won't have any issues importing my character that I've used since ME1.

  • sad to see no black hole bug fix yet, as thats an actual game crippling bug. cause who cares if i cant import my face, i cant even play the game anymore...

  • The last sentence - please Bioware, make this happen.

  • It's too late!  I've started my third playthrough and none of them imported!  Dont bother! Sucks

  • Glad to hear of the fixes they are making. Really the only I've had involved the doctor having her eyes closed and just shaking her head the entire time she was talking to Shepard about some bargaining assignment.

  • Nice. I guess?

  • Good good

  • It's too late now. Everyone has basically beaten it now.

  • i hate mass effect but 3 takes the cheesecake to all the fans.
