Health boxes dont'work

Reticule appears on them I press the activate key but no health increase the health boxes then appear used but they have not increased by health. 

  • You mean you're just picking them up instead of actually using them? By picking up a med pack, the number of med packs in your inventory increases. You then have to use it like any other skill. Either use the hotkey or hold space (or whatever you have mapped to open the skill menu) and select the med pack.

    By default, the hotkey is 3.

    Hi by platform do you mean operating system - windows vista, the problem I'm having/ bug encountered is that the red health boxes when used don't recharge health as they should do.

  • (Yes, by "platform" I meant, PC, PS3, or XBox.  So "Vista" answered the question.)

    Once a "health box" (as you call it) is exhausted, it can't be recovered until either; a) combat is over, or b) Shepard uses medi-gel.

    NOTE:  Shepard can carry only a limited quantity of medi-gel.  Once it's gone, s/he can't restore the exhausted health boxes during the encounter unless s/he is able to find some more.

    They don't seem to work after combat.

    I thought pressing the activation key once over the health box would increase health do you have to press something afterwards.
