    make sure your video output is set to 720p, and NOT 1080p. i have an xbox one s, and this helped a ton. i read up on the game and it seems the game cant really render at 1080p at all. some web sites were saying the best they saw was 900p. there is no difference visually from 720p to 1080p, but the performance is a lot better, so its worth it. it wont fix everything, but i don't get tearing, and the other issues got cut down a LOT. i hope this helps! fyi, the change has to be done through xbox settings, not the game settings, and make sure to close the game and relaunch it after making the changes.

I'm having some of these same issues on my digital Xbox 1 version. I don't get the screen tearing but I see tons of lagging, music playing in the wrong places, and now I have the galaxy map crash while scanning.  Tried closing and reopening the game, saving and reloading a new save, backing up to an earlier save and reloading, and clearing the cache with no joy.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game now, which takes hours on my rural internet.

I had none of these issues before the 1.05 update and after trying all this, I still have problems. Something major changed in the game with that update and now I'm stuck with a $60 game that's rapidly turning into a white elephant. 

And if you haven't guessed already, I'm not happy about it.

     Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you are having the same issues as me. Well, I paid for the $99.99 version of this game. So I hope that it helps you feel better about purchasing this game, at  $60.00. I'm starting to think that I got really burned.

    Well, I can still play the game, but the issues are frustrating, because I need to save the game, exit the game, then reload the game, to get the issues to a playable point. I haven't tried to uninstall the game, then reinstall the game, or erase the saved data, yet. But, I'm getting to that point.

   

     I'm so sick and tired of purchasing things, at a higher rate of money, just to find out that the people, that make this junk, don't seem to care about the customers, that buy them. Well, all I can do now is hope that EA GAMES, will make good on their promises to make great games.

     To any EA GAMES, representatives, please fix this mess, and start making, truly, quality products, or I am not going to pre-order anymore of your games and/or I will wait until your games drop in price, then I might buy them. I am refusing to pay top dollar for anymore, of your mediocre products, from your company, unless I see some proof that you are trying to care about your customers. And it's sad for me, because I am a huge fan of the Mass Effect series and a couple of your other titles. Please, give me a reason to have faith in your company, again. 

Again, a good day and best wishes to all.
