You can just play it the way I do. Quick save every minute, or more frequently. At least you don't lose too much time like that. |

Good to see BW still supporting the game. As always your dedication is appreciated. Only thing I want is an deactivation tool. |

I just hope it will be better patch than this 1.01 BDtS. I never experienced any error, crashes or even lagging before this patch, but after it was terrible. Besides config problem, the soundcard issues, the game was unstable. Please do it "better" |

I am also getting a weird crackling sound during loading screens, lifts, galaxy map and just in random places as well. It only happens in this game so I'm sure its not my sound card. Also random crashes, low Garrus face texture, etc. Also the surround sound i sort of off, like when Shepard speaks it comes out of center and side for some reason. It also crashes when fiddling with LOD settings in the .ini. Yeah, I've had pretty much all the bugs. I really hope they get fixed.

Don't blame the engine, blame the weak hardware it was designed around (360).
Don't even try to start bashing the 360. 
its pretty obvious dude...PC games were pushing softshadows even before 360 or PS3 came out. Look at FEAR 1, that game has very high quality softshadowing system. It totally eliminates the glitchy shadows. Soft shadows are also used extensively in Crysis. Now look at FEAR 2 a game that was build on Xbox 360 and then ported to PC/PS3...they took away the entire softshadowing system along with a few other effects that were RAM intensive in FEAR 1

Hmmm, if you are already working on the patch you should already know what you're going to fix, so how about we get the info on what you're planning to patch? Surely you must already know? Or are you just saying there will be a patch and you've not yet decided what to fix?

It will be nice to play this game again. I haven't been able to play it since I upgraded my graphics card to a Nvidia 9800gt, every time a GPF error and the earlier Nvidia drivers don't work with the 9800gt. I loved this game and would love to play it again. One more little thing can we have a revoke tool in the patch please. |

Nvidia just released a new set of drivers a few days ago. Have you tried them yet? Its version 181.22. |

Didn't have any performance or stability problems with the game, but I know quite a few people experienced crashes, so that should be the priority. However it would be *very* nice to see some high quality textures on Garrus and some NPCs (like the Volus and Elcor people). |

Great news. It's fantastic to see BioWare and Demiurge standing behind their games like this, and I applaud them for it.
(Now here's hoping the patch addresses the seemingly-common Realtek audio issues  ) |

great news, but i have one thing to ask.
I'd like to know that will the owners of CDprojekt-released version be able to grab the patch as soon as the EA-published version owners do? (cause there is difference between retail and retail versions in this case)
would a bioware employee answer my question please? |

Sorry, we don't have any further details on the patch yet. When we do, we'll make them known. Stay Tuned.

Will do an insanity run after the patch is out. But you know what? SCREW the patch!! I want Mass Effect 2  But I guess that won't be out until Fall or Winter 2010

Hopefully they will add HDR or AA, and High res textures and character models.

Unreal engine 3 doesn't support AA. You can force it through your video card's panel but the frame rate takes a dive and the image becomes very blurry |
