Re: ME2: Using the Power Wheel too much causes game to crash to desktop

@lovexsqualor It was fixed in ME3, it is also the bug I'm most mad about not being fixed in ME2. The quickbar messes up if you use ammo powers or tech armor, and you use your mouse to click on the abilities. If you do it a lot, suddenly you get a hard crash to desktop. Happened to me 3 times in the last few hours. Very disappointing. This is my MOST WANTED BUG FIX for ME2.

@AlistairAB I don't think I've ever used tech armor (I typically play biotic classes), but I use ammo powers a lot, especially because ME2 drastically reduced the number of powers available for each class/character. When the game last crashed, I was indeed using ammo powers on Shepard and Jacob. I really like the ammo powers though so I don't want to have to stop using them!
Also, there is the possibility that mine crashes even when I'm not using ammo powers, but I'm not sure because I haven't paid much attention to the exact conditions triggering it over the years. But still, even if it's just ammo powers or tech armor that cause the problems, the bug still needs to be fixed because that would make ammo powers and tech armor basically unusable.

@AlistairAB Geez, don't tell me this still exists in MELE! Holy crap am I glad that I refunded the PC preorder and switched to Xbox...

@felker_s yeah unbelievably they didn't fix it, it happens when you use your mouse to activate your abilities, so this might be different from the OP, but basically ammo powers or tech armor etc. cause it

the good thing is you can use the number row or an xbox controller on PC and avoid it, but still 🙂

@felker_s so i swear it happens to the sentinel class the most, I'm going to try and remove "tech armor" from the quick bar and see if it crashes less (I've had basically 5 hard crashes to desktop in the last 6 hours, not the best way to enjoy the game)
