Re: New patch?

Looks like support for this game has been dropped.

@EA_David 

Hello? Any updates?

I don't know why there are comments suggesting support has been "dropped" for Legendary Edition. There's no reason to believe more patches aren't coming.

There are plenty of posts since the most recent patch from community managers indicating the development team is actively looking into some of the current issues. See this thread for example which has a post from a CM as recently as last Wednesday about that issue. We'll just need to be patient.

I guess we would wait long for the new one.

I checked at SteamDB, nothing going on right now, i.e. no builds or uploads since the last patch.

several months later and still no signs of patch to fix stuff. Starts to smell like abandonware. I am now regretting buying that stuff. They are not getting a single euro from me again.

@WARPIG9cz It was only a couple years ago that people would wait a year or more before calling something abandonware.  How the patience of the world has shortened...

There won't be any announcement of any patch until it roles out.

I have Been playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition for about the first time in 2 weeks. And in Mass Effect The Rangefinder on the Mako Scope has suddenly disappeared and is somehow disabled. It makes it a bit challenging and extremely hard and because of this weird bug some turrets aren't able to be destroyed because of the rangefinder automatically zooms in and finds the nearest enemy and thus firing from more than 1,000 ft accuracy is *-poor and can't hit *. 

Just doing my monthly check in to see if there has been any word about a patch... Nothing? Still complete silence? Good good, business as usual. Carry on then, see you next month gang 🙂

LE3 Community Patch is released recently, and it's very impressive.

The community did what BioWare/EA do not want "can't". It's so ridiculous, the moders did much better work with zero budget than this greedy, low effort company what we call ruins of the old Bioware... I know, I know, I'm rude and disrespectful, but I don't care. This company certanly did not careed too, when they stole my and others money for this Legendary half-finished product. It's just so disappointing...

I'm happy about this community patch, but I would be so much happier, if this would be a real official patch. But no, the buggy mess called "Legendary" Edition will stay on consoles without any new update. But, who cares? They sold this low effort mess on full price, so... succes?

But, I learnd a lot, I will never buy again low effort products, like "remastered" games. Never again... Buying the original versions on PC, or on Xbox via Backward compatibility is much better and cheaper alternative (not in just the ME's case). Then you do not support this cancer named "remastering" grown on the industry in recent years.

Minimum investment, maximum profit, that's about the remastering business, and nothing else. It's really, really sad... The market is full of soullessly made, buggier and more broken than the original, "remastered" versions. If you do not believe me, then just do your research. Not hard to find inferior than the original remastered games with full of new bugs and other issues... with LE, you already have one at least.

Electronic Arts would be more worthy of its name, if they investing much more into projects like Lost in Random, than to rip players off as easily as possible.

It would take more than that and isn't something that modders can do.

That is no surprise, the Patch is for LE1.

The patches for LE2 and 3 will follow.

Edit: Strike that, the LE3 patch is also already available.

Looks like this is where i kick myself for playing on console (PS5) because it sounds like the only fixes will come from modders on pc.

I wonder if there is any chance bioware would work to port those fixes into an official patch and apply it on consoles. I heard they worked with modders to develop the LE anyway.

Not sure if Bioware shared any source code with the modding community. 

However given the extensive amount of fixes done by the community patch it would be awesome if Bioware would make the patch official and license it for consoles as well.. 

@pra_viilonThis is just daydreaming. Most likely the official support has over. Also a fan fix based official fix is even more unlikely. Vanilla LE will stay like as it is, I fear.

You are right, they did not.

Bioware shared sound files and similar stuff and made changes on how the game processes certain files. 

For the port to console, I also very much doubt that there will be any help from Bioware for that. Afaik the only company that made an effort to open their games for modding on the consoles is Bethesda and Sony was not making it easy for them.
