Mass Effect Andromeda is, sadly, a rather buggy game. To Bioware’s credits, it is hunting down all of these bugs and trying to bring the game back up to its usual standard of polish that it is known for. One of these, the craziest bugs in the game – I actually have no idea how I should describe it – is an issue that Bioware has already fixed and will most likely be a part of a new patch. This bug was one where a character automatically appears and in the same place another character appears. Crazy, right? Like I said, I actually don’t know how to describe it so it’s best you watch the bug in action below.
In other news, a separate bug where the game won’t let you use the scanner is a known issue, and presumably one that Bioware is working on fixing- although we do’t have a timeline on that yet. Hopefully we will have a better picture of it by tomorrow, when Bioware is supposed to announce its plans regarding Andromeda.
Finally, Bioware’s Michael Gamble also took the time to thank fans for their feedback on the game, positive and negative. I must say, this transparent and open dialog Bioware has had with the community has been commendable, and the way they have handled criticism has been stunning as well. Especially in light of other developers recently who went radio silent after their game got poor critical reception, Bioware’s conduct in this regard has been exemplary.
Mass Effect Andromeda is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
