Here are the bugs currently listed here.
Main Menu
-Notifications of friends' multiplayer accomplishments may identify incorrect accomplishments.
Single Player & Multiplayer
-Getting stuck on ladders preventing you from going up and down on them. This bug happens occasionally in MP maps as well.
-Ammo miscalculation(causing 1 short clip) by reload canceling.
-The weapon modification screen lighting may mess up such that a weapon is totally dark. Solution: Changing the view of a couple times usually fixes it.
Annoyances
-After Eva Coré makes it to the roof and is about to jump into the shuttle in Priority: Mars, Shepard only gets 1 XP.
-Relays are annoyingly loud compared to the rest of the game.
-Whenever Shepard is piloting an Atlas, it does not seem to take any damage, despite taking on 2 enemy Atlas' at once (was testing this on the Cerberus HQ mission.
-The Atlas rocket attack (the right click one) seems to do less damage to enemy Atlas units than it's normal gun.
-On the Grissom Academy mission if you get hit by the Student's throw you get staggered.
-Sarah Williams, Ashley's sister, always stands in Citadel Memorial. She should dissapear after the Memorial scene with Ashley.
-When choosing a quick match, the game may take longer on certain settings to join a MP game. Workaround: If it's taking longer than 10 seconds, press cancel and try to join again. It may take several tries.
-When entering a MP game with consumable equipments(ammo, armor, and weapon upgrades), you may lose those consumables after a wave resets from the host leaving the match.
-In the Normandy on deck 2, the game takes 3 seconds to get in the conference room when going through the scanner.
-Players not in your friend list are joining your game when you have you have it set to private.
-Docked with equipment if you are dropped from a server mid game when you shouldn't be at all.
Origin Issues
-The game may freeze when attemping to access the Origin overlay in "spectator mode".
-The game may freeze when pressing alt-tab.
SP Bugs
-The game may cut to a gameplay section in the middle of a cutscene like when the Reaper in Rannoch is defeated.
-If you let the original Council die and Anderson is the councilor in ME2, you can be reinstated as a Spectre. But after talking to the Council in ME3, the turian councilor will tell you that your spectre status is reinstated even though it was already done in ME2.
-Shepard's arm clips through his/her leg at times
-Liara's singularity sometimes vanishes right after it hits an enemy.
-Liara's Warp does not leave a biotic mark on Kai Leng when it should during the Thessia encounter. Although Javik's Dark Channel works.
-Sometimes after upgrading a power and then clicking "back" it goes right to the pre-mission cutscene instead of allowing you to upgrade your squadmates.
-The planet Aequitas in the Fortis system is flagged as having a mission there before the coup. When you select enter orbit there is nothing there though.
-Ashley's Marksman is bugged after patch 4. She activates it over and over again and is stuck in cover.
-When you start a new game, textures on Shepard's hands are weird when he is walking in the opening cutscenes while talking to Admiral Anderson.
-In the Polish version, the game stutters during pre rendered cut scenes.
-When purchasing the sniper rifle concentration module from a store its level (e.g. II, IV) is not displayed on the purchase menu.
-Sometimes the textures of weapons appear all black on the upgrade bench, using the change view option restores regular texure.
-Kuwashii visor is not made for FemShep's head, just ManShep. This makes it look a lot bigger on her than it should be, and the forehead piece doesn't even touch the forehead, and there is a very noticeable gap.
-While playing ME3 in certain non-English languages, some cut scenes are not shown properly. Example: On Utukku, when a boulder falls down behind Shepard, some international players only see a frozen screen, then Shepard asks if everything's ok. When the same cut scene is played in other languages like English and Polish, it works properly.
Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists
-Jacob's loyalty mission from ME2 is not flagged correctly in the career save file. Regardless of what you do, Jacob will always say, "Haunts me more like" only when asked about his father.
-Squadmates may disappear while talking to Jacob. Occurs when one of squadmates(like Garrus) talks to him.
Citadel: GX12 Thermal Pipe
-If you buy the thermal pipe from the armory in the Normandy after getting the quest from Adams, the engineers said it had already been installed although I just brought it to them. After completing another mission, Traynor said Adams wanted to speak to me again and the dialogue from the engineers was the same, they had just installed the pipe, even though I had heard the dialogue before.
-When Shepard goes speaking with Greg Adams about the thermal pipe, Adams, Donnelly and Daniels don't look at Shepard.
Citadel: Hanar Diplomat
-The first terminal may not highlight for you, making you unable to start the mission.
Citadel: Reaper Code Fragments
-If you don't get the Reaper Code Fragment from the Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons, the side mission does not initiate until after you get the Reaper Code Fragment from the Spectre office. You need to save and load the save file to turn it into her.
Dekuuna: Elcor Extraction
-The side mission does not initiate untill you have actually completed it by scanning Dekuuna. Quicksaving and then loading allows you to turn it in without leaving and coming back.
Docking Bay D24
-The keeper may teleport you out of its way when trying to walk past it even if you weren't in its way.
-When recruiting Ashley after finishing Priority: Citadel II, the camera would glitch up, temporarily not showing Ashley when it zooms in to her.
-When near a human private and human sergeant, a Keeper will stop near your and prevent you from moving anywhere else. Video for details. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukUWWqCGeWQ
-When Garrus takes you up to the top of the Citadel tower, his face glitches and is pretty much smeared across the screen. It might only happen when in a romance with him, it happens right when you lock in the romance with him(part of FemShep's face is also smeared on the screen).
Docks: Holding Area
-Dialogue between Shepard and Ashley Williams is bugged during the Citadel Memorial scene. Read Saito404's post for bugged dialogue, video of the glitch, and a video of the dialogue you didn't hear. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/14921553#14922916
Purgatory
-When near the two Turians or the angry Elcor, another Turian walking around will stop near you and prevent you from moving anywhere else.
Huerta Memorial Hospital
-When you first get to the Citadel and have a conversation with Dr. Chakwas, Shepard's and Chakwas' hair are transparent.
-When you turn the biotic amp in to the salarian doctor in the long room in the inpatient wing, there is a brief panning shot as the camera looks out the window, then swings towards Shepard. When the camera swang over to an empty spot, you can hear Shepard deliver the package, but never see him/her until the scene ends(This bug may only happened occasionally)
Presidium Commons
-When returning to Citadel before completing Priority: Tuchanka, the conversation between Shepard and Liara's father, Matriarch Aethyta, is bugged so that Aethyta considers Shepard to be Liara's boyfriend/girlfriend even if he/she hasn't romanced anyone or has romanced someone else in the past.
-The following line: "Yeah... Matriarch Benezia was... was her mother, and she doesn't know it, but I was her father" is partly cut off during the conversation between Shepard and Matriarch Aethyta. The part of the line in italics and bolded is the part of the line you don't hear in the game. This line worked properly before.
-Some dialogue between Shepard and Ashley Williams is bugged during the date scene. Read Saito404's post for bugged dialogue, video of the glitch, and a video of the dialogue you didn't hear. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/14921553#14922916
Priority: Mars
-The first mods you find don't show up in the weapon bench even though you have grabbed them. I'm not sure what caused this bug. This was working properly before.
Priority: Palaven
-Audio is off-sync while Garrus tells General Victus that he is the new primarch.
Priority: Sur'kesh
-The two Salarians who confront Wrex on the landing pad are holding the M-37 Falcon in cutscenes, but the M-8 Avenger whilst Shepard is running around the area.
Priority: Citadel II
-During the Citadel coup mission, Garrus's omnitool was constantly there all throughout the entire thing and even during the cutscene.
Priority: Geth Dreadnought
-In the opening scene of the mission, Liara's dialogue does not trigger with Tali at the start of the dreadnought mission, instead it skips right to Tali saying "Ready to hit that dreadnought?" right after she says "Thanks ... Shadow Broker."
Priority: Rannoch
-"Tali's rock" disappears during cut scene after Legion leaves as Shepard gives it to Tali. Here's a link to my video showing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fijl0WWNobM
Priority: Cerberus Headquarters
-Before using the console to learn more about EDI, Liara climbed higher than the ladder and floated above it before correcting itself when she moved to Shepard.
-During the Kai Leng boss fight, he is not affected by Liara's warp like other shielded enemies are, which would allow for a biotic explosion.
-Shepard reloads during the transition between the last scene of Shepard and your squad members walking away from Vendetta and the scene of the Citadel closing itself.
Priority: Earth
-Power skill tree skipped as the cutscene began for the fleets pouring through the Sol relay.
-Garrus frozen in the shuttle after being picked up by Anderson and Coats.
-There is a line during Javik's last words to Shepard that appears for a split second before going to what he is actually saying, it goes by too quick for me to get a clear view of it.
-If you talk to Javik before Wrex's speech is over, it cuts him off, but you hear a line from Wrex that does not trigger normally as you approach the door, something about the salarians.
-Garrus randomly has an M29 Incisor sniper rifle during Shepard's speech regardless of whatever gun he was using prior (in my case, he had a Widow)
-Audio out of sync as the allied forces are shooting husks after Shepard's speech to his/her squad members.
-Marauder was standing on the archway above the window leading into the store after the building you clear to let the Mako tank pass through.
-After the defend the battery section, Garrus was killing cannibals with an avenger, then as the missles were firing, he switched back to his Widow as he was running back.
-Trees during the trench run were flickering in and out of existence.
-If playing as FemShep, she does not say "STEEEEVE!" although the subtitles are there, but ManShep says it.
-Cut scenes of allied forces advancing during the Earth mission have no weapon sounds when firing. Given how pre-rendered scenes work in ME3.
Citadel: The Return
-On the Citadel, there are holes on the walkway leading up to TIM confrontation room.
-During the talk with the Catalyst, a Reaper flew right through another Reaper.
-Small cinematic sequences are not shown in Extended Cut when the Leviathan DLC is installed. Happens during the "I want details," "I don't understand," and "How" dialogue scenes. Here's a link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T32un4Ariig
-While talking to the Catalyst, you can see the Reapers and Alliance ships having flickering textures. Note: May be caused by z-fighting or related to camera "nearclip" distance.
After Citadel: The Return(Ending)
-Audio is not in sync when the Crucible fires.
-If From Ashes is installed and completed, Javik is always the third crewmember after Joker and Love Interest, to leave the Normandy in the Normandy crash cut scene in Destroy and Control Ending.
-When choosing Destroy with a high EMS rating, Garrus is no where to be found until after your LI walks toward the memorial and hesitates to put Shepard's name on the memorial(if Garrus is alive).
From Ashes
-Ashley and Kaidan are the only squadmates who don't have any comments on the Normandy about Javik.
-Achievements may not unlock after finishing the DLC mission. Workaround: Load a save first then go back to the main menu to check your achievements. You should be able to see them after doing that.
Leviathan
-You can search a planet in Caleston Rift even before you have activated to whole Leviathan quest. EDI says "no Garneau here" even though player doesn't even know him before the quest. However this is the only searchable planet that is unlocked prior to activating Leviathan quest. The rest of the search locations are unlocked normally.
-Achievements may not unlock after installing the DLC mission. Workaround: Load a save first then go back to the main menu to check your achievements. You should be able to see them after doing that.
-Before getting Dr. Bryson's Lab Experiment in your cabin for "research," James's Omnitool only shows up around his hand.
Omega
-During a conversation between Aria and Nyreen, Nyreen spins around after Aria says "You've done an excellent job Nyreen, but I'll be taking over now." Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgUzA3_zBSU (start video at 1:15)
-During Aria's speech to the Talons, she spins around three times and the second time this happens, both Aria and Nyreen spin around at the same time. Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgUzA3_zBSU (start video at 1:15)
Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation
-Directly before the first Atlas fight, a cutscene plays with Jack defending her students. However, when the game reverts to gameplay, Shepard may immediately(without any input) fall through the floor and promptly die(like the Vanguard glitch in MP). Workaround: You may need to load a quick save get it to play normally.
Normandy SR2
-Diana's dialogue does not trigger when you talk to her, but as you leave the room before the Priority: Earth mission. Solution: When triggering the conversation, wait until Shepard starts talking to Diana Allers as there is a pause in the beginning of it.
-Steve's omnitool is disconnected from his arm sometimes when he is working on the shuttle, but after a couple seconds it corrects itself.

-Tali and Ashley don't have any comments after missions if you play as FemShep or unromanced MaleShep.
-After Priority: Citadel II, if the Virmire survivor is on the Normandy, you may not hear Dr. Chakwas say, "It's good to see Williams/Alenko again."
-After Priority Citadel II, banter dialogue beween Ashley and Liara is bugged when going into Liara's room. Read Saito404's post for bugged dialogue and a video of the dialogue you didn't hear. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/14921553#14922916
-Getting the email from Feron saying an upgrade is available twice. Once after the player can explore the Normandy and again after Sur'Kesh. Only the first email accompanies an upgrade at Glyphs terminal.
-Initiating conversation with James during Rannoch story arch on Normandy at his "gym", cut scene takes place at console near upgrade bench. After the cut scene, Shepard is at the upgrade bench, while James is back at his "gym."
-In Javik's room, Male and Female Shepard's hair would become transparent and end up seeing his/her skull.
-The first real chat you have with Liara is still bugged, this is the one where you ask her what it's like to be the Shadow Broker; What's new etc. Both Shepard and Liara turn their heads sideways, making for the most awkward conversation in ME history. Shepard does it to look at Glyph if you choose that option, but he never turns his head back towards Liara, who then copies the gesture. Has happened in every playthrough.
-In the chat with Liara regarding the 'time capsule', she refers to Shepard as a 'good friend' even if she is the current love interest.
-When talking to Joker at the cockpit, you may get stuck, unable to move around. As a result, you will be forced to reload a previous save to resolve the problem.
-When talking to some characters(such as Traynor, Adams, Ken, Gabby), their heads may do a 180 degree tilt.
-Dialogue between Shepard and Ashley Williams during the romance scene is bugged. This dialogue may be from the faithful version of this scene. Read Saito404's post for bugged dialogue and videos of the glitch. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/14921553#14922916
