When will the glitches be fixed?

Question

I bought Mass Effect 3 the DAY it came out, and was so excited to import my ME character and continue the story. I couldn't play even an hour without being so pissed off from all the glitches (stuck in a wall, stuck in the normandy, floating in the air, falling through the floor, talking with my head backwards, cerberus guys break dancing on the floor, QUESTS NOT TRIGGERING OR WORKING, etc etc)... so I just abondoned it entirely. Well, That was 2 YEARS ago.

I just redownloaded ME3 last week to give it another go, hoping things have been improved...

It is literally exactly the same! I shot someone in the chest, and he flew STRAIGHT UP into the sky. I STILL can't complete the Hanar Diplomat quest on the citadel, Dr Chackwas talks to me with her head spinning, every time I enter the cockpit of the normandy shephard gets STUCK in the floor, people are gooping through walls during conversations or not appearing AT ALL (talking to the air) etc. etc..

Did I miss something? Did BioWare announce that they were no longer going to patch ME3, or offer support? I just don't understand how people can spend 60 bucks to buy the delux version when it comes out, and then 10 bucks for the DLC thats got a main storyline character (70 bucks total) and have THIS GLITCHY of an unplayable game!! Especially after 2 years, and NO fixes?? There are still videos and 3rd party edit programs all over the internet trying to find ways to MAKE THIS GAME PLAYABLE... Thats just so sad... and so frustrating... I love the Mass effect series.

I'm playing it on the PC, windows 7-64bit.

You must be very unfortunate and encounter ever single glitch in the game. I've gotten stuck in the cockpit once, but that's pretty much the extent of the trouble I had with this game since the latest patch.

BioWare ended support for this game a year after its release, so over a year ago.

Note that some bugs were fixed with DLC instead of patches. This is because the consoles have a certification period, and the PC version is affected by the poor service of consoles. I believe both the Leviathan and Citadel DLCs have some bug fixes, but none of the ones you described (missing dialog, for instance).

Dont get me wrong, im not experiencing these glitches all the time. But they are unique and constant, even in their singularity. One that is constant is that shepherd doesnt hold his guns right. His hands arent lined up. He holds everything with his wrists. Im just confused, how the heck does this happen? Ive downloaded and re downloaded this game and updated to make sure i have the right patch and everything.. *sigh*

That is sad news indeed. It looks like i have the unlucky rabits foot. What do i do? Are there 3rd party patches? Do i reinstall direct x or something? Or should i just throw it all in the proverbial bioware trashcan and move on?

Mass Effect 3 isn't mod friendly. Aside from texture mods, there are no third party fixes.

I don't think updating DirectX would solve the issue. For now I'd advice not to stand on any of the stickers in the cockpit, and to just ignore all the other glitches that I don't know the workarounds of.

Out of curiosity: Could you post a screenshot of Shepard holding a gun? I've never heard of this one before.
