The Mass Effect 3 patch launches today for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, BioWare has announced.
It launched on PC yesterday.
It fixes the bug that prevented players from importing character faces generated in Mass Effect 1 through Mass Effect 2 and into Mass Effect 3.
The patch notes in full are below:
- Fixed issues when in some cases Shepard's customized facial features from ME1/ME2 may not be properly imported to ME3.
- Fixed an issue when quickly and repeatedly selecting to Resume a Save could result in Player Level reset and a potential locking of powers.
- Fixed an issue when selecting Multiplayer in the Main Menu while under a poor network connection could result in an unresponsive state.
- Fixed a potential crash while accessing an in-game terminal from Eden Prime level.
- Fixed an issue when attempting to login while Server is down. It would display a Server Down message and accepting the Server Shutdown message would shut down the game.
- Fixed a potential memory crash while loading a Quick Save of a custom FemShep.
- Fixed an issue when restarting missions and acquiring an above max amount of weapon mods results in displayed debug text on-screen.
- Fixed an issue when an unresponsive game state could occur during transition after the Conduit level.
- Fixed an issue when DLC game saves can be accessed from an account without DLC if another account on the same computer has access to the related DLC. (PC Only)
- Fixed an issue when saves from different accounts on the same computer may become locked if one account has access to DLC which the other account does not. (PC Only)
- Fixed an issue when potentially the game could enter unresponsive state when transitioning from the Holding Docks area to the Normandy Docks area of the Citadel. (PS3 Only)

我是近这个月爱上这款游戏的，先先买了第三代来玩...玩完后发觉没导入第二代的话第三代会死很多人...战斗力量也比较少，故事情节也大有不同，被逼玩第二再倒入第三，这次第二的十个队友全部生还，导入第三才玩得更开心更起劲，但问题来了，要主角在最后战斗中生还的话，精英军队必须达到5000以上，而达到这个数量就必须连接网络...我的问题出现在在哪里大家应该知道了，要产品序号才能连接网络，我不想我的final save file主角是死掉的...加上心理超不爽的，主角死了，BioWare特地做9那些不买他产品又想享受其完美结局的人...无言...我可以说算他们狠...令我想买正版得到序号了...
BioWare shows off their brand new Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer DLC Rebellion in this exciting launch trailer giving us a look at some of the new maps, characters and weapons as well as a brand new objective mode.
While rumors of an upcoming Mass Effect 3 multiplayer DLC titled Rebellion were recently deemed “not true” by BioWare, it appears that they were only referring to certain details as BioWare confirms today that Mass Effect 3: Rebellion Pack is, indeed, real.
Most of the details reported earlier were, in fact, correct, save for the name of a particular class that will be playable in the upcoming DLC.
As stated earlier, two new maps (Firebase Jade set in a Salarian-made jungle reservoir, and Firebase Goddess set on the Asari homeworld of Thessia) will be available for immediate play in the map selection. In-game reinforcement packs will include three new weapons (the Reegar Carbine Shotgun, Krysae Sniper Rifle and the Cerberus Harrier Assault Rifle) as well as additional equipment, consumables and six new playable classes.
The new races and classes as listed on the Official BioWare Blog:
Vorcha Soldier
Thanks to their unique physiology and their Bloodlust ability, the Vorcha are joining the fight and are perfectly suited for the utilitarian soldier kit.
Vorcha Sentinel
The innate aggressiveness found within the Vorcha make them shockingly durable combatants, and when coupled with their Flamer skill, the Vorcha sentinel is a force to be reckoned with.
Male Quarian Engineer
Quarians have spent centuries at perpetual salvage and ship repair; the survival of their species depends on this technical expertise. When bringing the new Arc Grenade to the fray, the Quarians prove their prowess as effective engineers on the battlefield.
Male Quarian Infiltrator
The Male Quarian Infiltrator must actively rely on stealth while in the heat of battle, and when they make use of their Tactical Scan ability, they quickly prove their mettle while continuously dishing out the pain.
Ex-Cerberus Vanguard
When the Illusive Man turned to indoctrination in order to ensure the loyalty of his troops, many Cerberus operatives defected and joined the Alliance in order to stop the Reapers. Now that we’re on the same team, Ex-Cerberus Vanguards (along with their new Lash attack) are quickly proving their worth.
Ex-Cerberus Adept
A result of the Illusive Man’s early experiments in enhanced human physiology, Ex-Cerberus subjects are highly skilled combat and biotics specialists. As a result, Ex-Cerberus Adepts can lay waste to the enemy with their Smash and Singularity powers.
Mass Effect 3: Rebellion Pack will be available on Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network and PC this Tuesday, May 29th (Wednesday, May 30 on the PSN in Europe). Much to the pleasure of all ME fans, the Rebellion Pack will be available at no extra cost for anyone who has redeemed an online pass on any of the platforms.
Two New Action-Packed Maps – Land on Firebase Jade, located in a Salarian STG base on Sur’Kesh and fight to control Firebase Goddess on the Asari homeworld of Thessia.
Six Powerful New Unlockable Characters – Level and promote six new unlockable characters, including the ex-Cerberus Adept and Vanguard, the Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel or the Male Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator.
New In-Mission Objective – Randomly occurring during waves 3, 6 and 10, this new objective will demand that teams retrieve a high priority package and securely escort it to a designated extraction zone on each map.
New Gear Slot – A new slot will be available on the equipment screen, offering players a persistent gameplay bonus that will not expire after the end of a match. These new items will vary from weapon upgrades to character enhancements and will be available through reinforcement packs.
Lethal New Weapons – Eliminate the enemy with deadly new weapons, including the Cerberus Harrier, Krysae Sniper Rifle, and Reegar Carbine.
