mass effect 3 ladder glitch
i was just wondering for people like us who play mass effect all the time, does anyone ever encounter the "ladder glitch"?
like, at random times i try to go down a ladder, and it wont let me, it shows the animation like i did, but im still at the top.
i dont have a way to stop this from happening, and reloading the save doesnt help. its basically killed three of my playthroughs because i couldnt finish i priority mission, so i had to start over. if you have had this problem or know a way to fix it lemme know!
It's a problem with the physics engine of the game. I avoid ladders going down and jump. I'd rather take the damage than get stuck.
I've gone through 3 revisions of the nvidia drivers and have had it happen on each.
It may not affect ati owners, or it may only be an sli thing.
My rig is as follows
Intel q6600
8gb ballistix ddr2
primary geforce 250 gs
physx geforce 8600 gs
On a full playthrough it usually will happen once or twice, I try to descend a ladder and the game just has me climbing down without moving. The character animation is going, but I'm not moving.
It has only ever happened to me in combat situations, and I fall when I get shot, but it is annoying to no end waiting for that to happen.
Hence, I just jump whenever I can.
Sorry I don't have a fix, but more info is always needed on the support side.
You should probably list the following specs
CPU:
ram:
motherboard:
primary video:
physx video:
sound card:
operating system:
chipset driver version number:
primary vid card driver driver:
secondary vid card driver number:
sound card driver number:
If you are running a retail built rig (HP, Dell, Acer) ignore the motherboard spec request, just post the full model number.
If you are running a custom job, chipset revision would also be helpful.
i know that this is technically not a solution, but when you said you got shot it struck a cord with me, so i thought id try and get shot BY MY OWN TEAMMATE!!
right after i triggered the ladder climb down i selected EDI's overload power (im sure any power from any squadmate would work), the grapic of shepard going down the ladder didnt show, but i was suddenly at the bottom!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE IDEA!
