[BUG][ME2 & ME3] Enemies knocked down by Biotic or Ammo powers don't get up.

What should happen: when an enemy is shot with a weapon using the Cryo Ammo power they may freeze and fall over. If they are not killed they will eventually thaw and get back up of their own accord.

What happens: the enemy thaws visually but they remain stuck lying on the ground.

Moving the enemy (by shooting/meleeing them or bumping into them, for example) will trigger them to get up. This can be a more serious issue in areas where all enemies must be defeated to proceed if the frozen enemy falls in an inaccessible area, such as behind cover on a ledge or on the other side of the bridge in Dossier: Archangel.

This is on Xbox One.

Here's a video demonstrating the bug

Having just started Legendary Edition's ME3 I can confirm that this issue is present in that game as well. It was not present in the original ME3 either.

I noticed this in ME3 as well. Enemies affected by singularity (or blasted by a detonation) can end up prone on the ground. They freeze in place and just continuously play impact grunts.

They stay there permanently until taking damage (often they end up behind cover, so you have to hunt for them just to end the encounter).

This was on PC, so it's not an issue specific to Xbox.

Never encounted in ME2 but got it in ME3 right from the first mission in Mars' Archives. Frozen enemy stuck moaning on the floor until I killed everything else and found him lying in the hole to finish him. Not the last time but It was memorable)) Kind of added to the embience - finishing off incapacitated enemies 👿 with a Paragon character 😞

I'm on PC.

Happens on PC too. Enemies that get knocked down can sometimes stay prone on the ground, frozen in place. A lot of the time they'll continuously run impact grunts, making it a "fun" game of trying to sound them out (since they can end up in weird places or behind a lot of cover).

They usually get up again after taking actual damage, and you're locked into combat until you find and kill them. Supposedly it can happen in ME2 as well.

This is not a bug from the original game.

I see it occasionally.

Makes them easier to shoot I guess...

This is just bad. It happens almost all in the fights if you play as an adept. I think after I finished the LE, I will return to the original version, if they do not fix most of the new LE bugs. Mass Effect 2-3 Legendary Edition is just too unpolished for me. ME1:LE was a very good remaster with much given care, but ME2-3:LE is feels like a real step back (aside from the new textures) with new, ugly graphic issues (here's an example, but spoiler alert) and bugs like this.

Why they added to the package ME2-3 if they do not have enough resources for a proper, polished remastered? Because money. With ME2-3 included, they can sell it on higher price. I will do not buy the next Mass Effect, if this is the new quality standard for BioWare.

It's need much more care, but we haven't heard anything about a coming update (community manager said a few days ago, he don't know about a coming update for now). This game need much more support, especially for the broken things in the sequels, but I don't think we will get a great support like some other publisher gave their games (like Microsoft with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, they restored the Halo: Combat Evolved original Xbox classic graphics in the recent updates. It's something like we will never see from EA, I think).

I'm sad, because this classic franchise deserve more.

Another example (for reference). XSX

@SofaJockeyUKGood catch! Today, I seen a simular bug with a reaper Cannibal too, so, maybe this bug not only happens with Cerberus units, but every other similar enemy types.
