EA has rolled out its first patch forMass Effect Legendary Edition. which aims to fix several in-game bugs and issues as well as implementing some improvements.
But, perhaps the most welcome fix is that of a frustrating Xbox bug, which saw those attempting to boot up Mass Effect Legendary Edition on anXbox Series X/S or Xbox One experiencing crashes when the hardware was connected to wireless headsets, like theXbox Wireless Headset.
Players reported being kicked back to the Xbox dashboard when they tried to open Mass Effect Legendary Edition while a wireless headset was attached.
EAacknowledged the issueon its official forums and suggested a workaround for players experiencing the issue which required keeping the headset off until players reached the title screen for one of the games in the trilogy.
But it looks like a workaround is no longer needed as EA stated in its latest patch notes that it has fixed the issue, but does warn that players can suffer from their game crashing or becoming unresponsive if they try to enable or disable a wireless headset in the launcher - but a future fix will apparently be rolled out to address this.
What are the other fixes?
In addition to the Xbox bug fix, the first Mass Effect patch also makes improvements to terrain textures in Mass Effect and to lighting and shadows in Mass Effect 2, while ironing out bugs in all three games.
