Characters and some objects are black pixelated.

Hi.
I was playing, I was in Noveria. At the Peak 15, when you have to leave the Mako, you have to get into the building. So, when I do the last, my character, my squad and the geth turns into a black pixelated boxes or something.

I've all the drivers updated, my PC meets the requirements and it's the first time it happens. Too weird. Oh, and I've got the DLC 'Bring Down the Sky'.

    Hey, can you try repairing the game and see if it helps. Right-click the game panel in Origin to get this option. 

    If you're on Steam, use the "verify integrity of local cache" option. 

  • @EA_David Unfortunately, a repair will not fix this issue, since it's a hardware problem on AMD's end.

    The game is incompatible with all AMD FX CPUs, resulting in this glitch on the planets Noveria and Ilos. There's no fix, but there's a workaround that requires you to disable the lighting engine.

    You can read about the workaround in the desciption of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cHF_2VmGhw

    If you don't have an AMD FX CPU, please let us know.
