Certain Xbox players have been affected with an issue in Mass Effect Legendary Edition since the game's launch, which has caused freezes and crashes when using a wireless headset in the game's launcher. Today's update appears to have rectified those problems, along with delivering a wealth of other updates and fixes.

It's not a huge list, but may address some problems you've discovered when playing the game over the past few weeks.

We've made the following fixes and improvements across all platforms in this update.

General

  • English spoken dialogue can now be selected separately from subtitle language

  • Corrected pre-rendered cutscenes that were darker than intended after the previous update

  • Improved PC performance across various hardware configurations, including on Virmire
  • Fixed an issue on PC where non-standard characters in the operating system’s username would prevent the game from launching
