Mass Effect 2 PC Patch 1.01 Released
by Chris Faylor, Feb 22, 2010 11:57am PSTThe first patch for BioWare's sci-fi sequel Mass Effect 2 PC is now available on FileShack in a 42.31 MB download that updates the shooter-RPG to v1.01.
The download--meant only for those that have the physical retail release, as digital distributions outlets will supply their own patches--packs a variety of tweaks, including fixes for video hitching, crashes, movies, and issues with remapped controls.
The patch notes follow below, but be sure to note that "It is recommended that players reset their keyboard mapping to default values to ensure proper vehicle control."
- Fixed video hitching and crashes related to single core machines.
- Single core users may experience short periods of black screen that may last up a few seconds between level loads, cinematic transitions or movies.
- In rare cases, some single core users may notice dialog lines in certain conversations may be delayed up to a few seconds.
- Fixed an issue where it appears ammunition can be picked up, but can't.
- Fixed an issue where all Codex entries were marked as 'viewed', even if the player chose not to view them.
- Fixed an issue where weapon icons are re-organized after downloadable content is used.
- Fixed an issue where pressing F9 after the mission completion screen reset Shepard to Level 1.
- Fixed an issue where remapping the right mouse button blocks camera control in the command HUD.
- Fixed an issue where remapping the 'use' command affects the decryption minigame.
- Fixed an issue where users were not prompted to restart when logging in to a different EA Online account.
- Fixed an issue where movies do not play in DLC.
- It is recommended that players reset their keyboard mapping to default values to ensure proper vehicle control.
- Added useful messaging during the ME1 save game import.
- Weapon icon for henchmen never changes from Collector Assault Rifle.
- Czech language - Issues with Czech localization (subtitles) were amended, all text was corrected and improved.
- Fixed an issue where the Mass Effect 2 launcher was being associated with files that have no extension.
- Fixed an issue where uninstalling the game under Windows Vista or Windows 7 might uninstall Mass Effect 1.

What about the sniper scope coming up when you try and use inferno with the sniper rifle selected?
What about the load times waiting for the loading video to finish rather than just starting as soon as the level is loaded?
Buggiest game I've played in a long long time. Still its absolutely brilliant.

OK, this is going to tick me off if I can't change my key binds. I've always had a problem with the position WASD puts my hand in, and find it causes my hand/wrist to cramp. I've used WERD for movement for over a decade on PCs. (It also gives me more mappable keys adjacent to movement keys)
And no fix for enemies getting thrown into solid objects where you can't kill them? Happened through the whole game for me. At a couple of points in the game I had to restart a section because the game required every enemy dead to progress. Couldn't shoot someone I'd thrown or shockwaved 3' deep in a wall... I understand this exists on both Xbox and PC, too.

It's a great game though, ME1 is a terrible game compared to this. I don't even understand why I liked it before. It's going to be hard to replay it in the future if I want to see the different results.
