I've noticed while playing my shields aren't recharging, which is making my insanity playthrough substantially harder. Turns out an old bug from Mass Effect 3 PC version is still in the code, having high framerates keeps shields from recharging
To "fix" this issue - all you have to do is cap your framerate to 60 FPS. It's a real bummer though, not being able to play at high FPS because a decade old bug didn't get fixed.
Would be nice to be able to play the game at 144 FPS and still get my shields back.
Had this exact problem myself, turning on VSync fixes the problem as well.
Will only fix it if you display does not go above 144hz. Turning Vsync on won't fix the issue if you have a 165hz display (see the scenarios I posted above 🙂)
Same issue for me.
I'm playing on a 165Hz G-Sync monitor, and my shields are broken.
Enabling V-Sync does not solve the issue. The only workaround at the moment is to limit the framerate to 120FPS with the in-game option.
What a shame in 2021.
I hope Bioware will still provide some support and bugfixes.
@Wallart Vsync won't fix it because it will attempt to match your display refresh rate (165hz). Try setting the limiter to 144, you should have no problems with that (works for me at least, also using a 165hz monitor)
