156 Comments

BioWare's much-anticipated spacefaring RPG Mass Effect: Andromeda launched last week, though the game has not been without its issues. Now, the developer has published a list of the "main issues" that it is looking to patch with upcoming updates.

Much has been made about Andromeda's animations, and one of the tracked issues is for a problem where Ryder can initiate an "unintended animation state" when running in a zig-zag pattern. Another issue concerns squadmates; they can sometimes "repeatedly teleport on top of the player," while at other times they might not follow when instructed to.
