I've had the bug/glitch for sometime now where Cassandra, Vivienne, Most companions with long robes or clothing, and sometimes Solas... almost every companion pretty much: Either their clothing, arm, or anything on them will suddenly stretch and spasm. :SI've also got a bug, or whatever where they tend to walk too close when running around the map, making the spasm and body/cloth stretching thing happen even more often...I've had this pc rebuilt and upgraded several times cus of this, but nothing seems to work... is this a really bad glitch/bug, or??

I had that problem too on a different game. My fix: cold boot and update video card's bios. I'm not sure which one fixed the problem, but try the cold boot first.

Yes 😕 I am having the same Issue! I've had this pc rebuilt several times, so, I dont know if it is the pc that is the issues. I:http://oi57.tinypic.com/2q06n3l.jpg if you look behind Cass, Sera, and Blackwall, you can see Vivienne stretching 😕 I get this problem in cutsceens and ingame while playing.

its a game bug, i tested with 560ti ( my main card is 970 gtx ) and even with intel HD graphics ( onboard ) and it happens. So its neither nvidia side or Mobo side. Its a gameside issue.

why would cpu cause graphic glitches?
I dont have this issue in other games and i'm not the only one with this issue so its impossible to be cpu related.
Its the game's fault.
You could try to craft the same armor i'm using ( The armors name and where to get it is in the video description ) and start jumping and walking around with max settings if its not too much for you... Since this issue is happening with variety of people ( Consoles included ) I really doubt its a hardware side issue.

Why not?

This is what Mass Effect looks like on any AMD FX CPU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEvl9RAn2CY

Just throwing it out there. I also believe it's probably a game issue. I may try to craft that armor and have a look.

Its something related to particle quality, if i change particle quality to low it stops happening.
