Patch Coming Next Week

Good to hear that the custom face import issue is fixed.

I wonder if the money glitch will be fixed in MP.

So was ME3 patched because I logged on last night and there was no download prompt?  The wife really wants to play 3 but won't until the custom face import glitch is fixed.

I got an update today.

I've read a number of posts today from people sayign they got the patch today.

The face import glitch only affects characters that were started in ME1 and carried over to ME2.  If she build a fresh character model in ME2,  it imported fine into ME3.

Anyways that should all be fixed now no matter how far back your sheppard's origin goes.

Yeah, she played through both games, using a custom face in 1 and importing it into 2, so it was likely she would experience the glitch.  Good to hear that the patch is out though.  I'll let her know.  Also good that I picked up the 360 that was on sale at target linked in the main forums.  Now I'll still be able to play halo while she starts ME3.

I got a patch yesterday, It fucked up my Xbox and I could not play for a couple hours.

The patch didn't 'fix' the Credit Gltich.  Bioware must not be interested in fixing that, i'll have to take that as permission to exploit it :lol:

Hmm lemme see here....  45,000 credtis every 3 minutes is 900,000 credits an hour.  Playing gold legit at ~90,000 credits a game it would take 10 gold games to earn that, at half an hour a game that's 5 hours so that's like one night of play for me assuming successful wave 10 objective completions on gold which requires the right skill level of people.

I'd prob still credit glitch :lol:

I could actually use a multiplayer ban so i can focus on progressing my single player campaign...  I'm only as far as the mission in the demo where you go to a Salarian ship or planet and do the rescue mission.

There were a number of people complaining on the Bioware forums about the patch crashing their game or not letting them connect to the servers.  So if you were having that problem you weren't alone.  I believe it's all worked out now though.

I just imported my FemShep with a custom face from ME1 and ME2. That patch is bogus. It works, but that looks nothing like the FemShep I created. It looks like a half a dog gorilla girl. 

They must have also put in their "fix" for their commendation pack issue. I finally got my operation raptor (2 weeks ago?) commendation pack last night. This was the one where there was a glitch that allow people to get multiple packs.

I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to mp in this game.  My N7 level is only around mid 50s.  That being said I hate the pack system.  So far I've only gotten 1 assault rifle modification in all the packs I've bought.  It drives me mad.  I know they did this to lure people into paying money to buy the packs, but with the horrendous luck I've had, I'd never spend real money on it.

Of all the fixes with the new patch, this seems to be a biggie, especially since I have to get up unexpectedly to care for kids. I sounds like private matches will be unaffected though.

The multiplayer portion of Mass Effect 3 relies heavily on teamwork. It is designed to require you to communicate and execute as a team or risk failure. Having someone away from their keyboard/controller for an extended period of time takes away from this experience and can really frustrate a player.

With the release of Patch 3 we’re excited to announce our solution. The multiplayer portion of Mass Effect 3 now has an anti-afk system that will automatically remove players who are idle for two minutes.
Some key points about this feature:

- The system will remove player’s after two minutes of inactivity. Once removed, the player will be placed back in the multiplayer menu and shown a message indicating what they were removed for.

- If a player is removed they will receive zero experience and zero credits from the play session from which they were kicked.

-  Player’s will not be removed from private matches
 
We understand that at times the player must remove themselves from the game immediately for a short period of time. As such there is no minimum time between being removed and being able to re queue for a match.

We still encourage users to report abuses like these to ME3MPCheaters@BioWare.com.
