has anyone else had problems playing mass effect on pc? :confused:
so far i have fallen through the floor, had enemies getting stuck in walls where i couldnt shoot at them, had enemies fall through the floor where i cant shoot them and just now i was thrown out of the map by a boss, i could only look around while the area i started in became a small spec in a skybox :p

the game is up to date as its the steam version but i would have thought it would be well known if a game had this many bugs, i have only been playing it about 3 hours too :o
 
I've had my NPC's get stuck in walls - there's a known issue with Benezia where you get stuck in the wall too if she uses Biotics (normally "lift") on you.

Seems the game struggles with the physics/walls interaction when biotics are used, but in 4 playthroughs I've seen it about twice, so its not really a big issue.
 
Played through the game 3 times with only very very odd times something has got stuck in a wall... only time I've fallen through the floor is while hunting exploits in the citadel map and you won't run into those by accident - you have to carefully crawl along ledges for some way.
 
I played it on W7 64 and havn't had that many problems. My main guy did get stuck once but that was about it really.
 
Had one issue playing though when an enemy got stuck in a wall. Thankfully, I could see his feet, so I managed to kill him, after a while lol.
 
W7 64 bit
had a few npc's get confused and jump into walls so you cant shoot them (but they can annoyingly shoot back) but nothing really that noticable

I managed to get stuck in the ceiling using lift though, but it seems bugs associated with biotics are fairly well documented
 
Only issued I've had is a CTD once when speaking to Dr Chakwas (was a retail cd). No problems so far with steam version.
 
I have noticed the game seems to get considerably buggier the longer you play it/the more achievements you unlock but i've really not seen anything major. A couple of fatal bugs that needed a reload but nothing like CTDs repetadly, always seemed fairly stable, even on my Vista 32bit system. Not played it much since i got Win7 64bit but had no problems with it at all.
