I've uploaded a video to YouTube showing what I've described in a previous post herein. First, before the patch was installed and then after (how it plays now)...

Liara/Male Shep Romance: In my playthroughs since Patch 1.05, the romance scene before the dream sequence is fine. It's after the dream sequence where things go wrong. Right after the dream sequence (during fade in from black), the video is choppy. Notice Shepard's white left eye while lying down and when he gets up. Liara's eyes kind of roll too. The audio/video being out of sync is very noticeable - this happens until Shepard is given the opportunity to respond. And then everything is normal again. This is not quite as dramatic as the screenshots shared by AndreasShepard at the beginning of his thread (Kaiden/Male Shep Romance referenced by the OP) - but it does show in no uncertain terms how this scene has been affected in my playthroughs...
In my experience as well, this occurs during the pre-Chronos station romance scenes on both PS3 and Xbox360. I have not downloaded either Omega or Citadel.
It is important to point out that these scenes have been fine every time in the past. It only seems to be the most recent patch that has introduced the glitch.
This is consistent with the scenes for Female Shep/Kaidan, Male Shep/Ashley,and Male Shep/Liara. I can't confirm the others.
Please fix this, Bioware. This isn't what I paid for.
In the meantime, is there any way to revert to the previous patch on a console? Or do all title updates have to be removed altogether and the game left unpatched?.
Thanks for confirming all those other LI scenes and the PS3 as well.
I still am baffled as to why a patch (1.05) that seemingly only addressed multiplayer issues would've affected animation in cinematic scenes?
There doesn't appear to be a way to remove individual patches on the consoles - you have to remove all title updates (all patches) - which then also renders you unable to use MP (for SP-only users, this might be moot). But still, there have been some improvements from other previous patches that you would no longer get.
So BioWare really needs to fix this bug -- or they need to just re-release patch 1.04 and figure out a way to let us use that only.
cardinalboy,
I deleted the title updates and this did fix the problem for me. Hopefully, though, we can get some kind of rollback to 1.04.
Anyone know what happens when you delete the title updates? Are you still able to access DLC?
