Re: Missing Textures/Graphical Glitches?

@holger1405

I think I've got mine working properly again.  The driver rollback didn't help but I found a post you made regarding a similar issue:

http://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-3/Shading-Issues-Blocky-Dark-Textures-that-Follow-You/td-p/5910894

You suggested closing Origin.

Under Documents>Bioware>Mass Effect 3>BIOGame>Config.  Rename "GamerSettings.ini" to "old_GamerSettings.ini"

Restart Origin, run Mass Effect 3, check if fixed.

This worked for me for the character import, opening scenes, and first few minutes of gameplay so far.

    This definitely seemed to do the trick.

    Spent 3 hours without any issues. The other solutions above made the issue worse, however it is good to know that this was the next solution in line. Good work and thank you all for helping out. Now I can finish ME3 and look forward to Andromeda in 4 days!

    Good to hear, should have suggested that in the first place instead of asking you if you changed an ini file, this files can go corrupted without changing it. 

    And yes you can, the trial looks very good so fare.

    If i ever meet either of you IRL I owe both of you a beer. I've been banging my head against a wall all day trying to solve this problem and renaming the gaming settings file worked like a charm. Thank you so much.

    Man this helped out so much I had mods installed and had to delete it the first time I was experiencing this problem but it still came back, but then I added my mods again and tried this and it works at least so far. Thanks a lot for this.
