Re: Leveling bug in ME1 Legendary Edition - Level 60 is broken

Same issue. Used legendary level system up until I realized it glitched and didn't hit 30. Switched to classic, then back to legendary, and it said 30, however on import into ME2 it recognized as level 59- not 60. Annoying, but not game breaking obviously. 

This has been passed along folks, thank you for the reports and details.

When would we see a fix for it? 

Hi,

I was just levelling my ME1 Shepard, and when I got to where I would expect to see myself hit level 60 (in classic mode), I instead top out at level 59.

I have hit the maximum amount of XP, to the point where I just get given 0 XP instead, but my level still says 59.

Speaking to others, it sounds like this won't affect my importing into ME2, but it still feels wrong/weird that it won't tick over to level 60.

See attached for a screenshot of my XP and level.

Has anyone else experienced this, and anyone got any ideas of how to fix it, or is it just a bug the needs fixing with the game itself?

Cheers.

Yeah, that was my understanding for the original game, but I seem to remember they specifically saying that you can reach level 60 in one playthrough in the legendary edition.

For this bug/ticket/whatever, I have hit the amount of XP required for level 60, but the actual level itself has just not moved from 59 to 60, if that makes sense?

Have you reached level 30 in Legendary mode? The max XP earned altogether is 862000pts (IIRC). Once you hit 30, you'll continue to get XP with no additional talent points to be added. You still get the amount of talent points one is supposed to get, but since 30 is the max, it prevent hitting 60 in "Classic" mode. As an aside I am maxed on total XP on a second run and I am at level 59 as well, but  on lvl 30 on Legnedary.

Have two separate characters and both are bugged.

The cause of the glitch is currently unknown and there are no known workarounds if you're affected. A few have theorized that switching between legendary and classic leveling mid-playthrough might be the cause. Although, at least one player did not switch between modes and was still hit by this glitch.

And judging by reports, it seems to affect all platforms.

It is definitely not caused by switching between the modes.

You can reach a "displayed" level 30 without receiving the final talent point if you're at level 59 with max XP and switch mode to Legendary. Some people used this crude hack to import a "max level" Shepard into ME2 and continue playing.

For me, I AM gaining XP, but the level-up isn't happening.  I have more than enough XP for LVL 30/60, but I'm stuck at 29/57.
