Almost three weeks after its release, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition rolled out a big patch today on its servers. In the program, adjustments concerning the subtitles as well as corrections were made.
Released on May 14, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition welcomes its first big patch today (between 8 and 13 GB depending on the media). It is Electronic Arts, its publisher, who published the notes on its official website and on the Steam page of the title.
This update allows, among other things, to play in the original version with French subtitles since it is now possible to choose the language of the dialogues regardless of the subtitle language.
We can also note the correction of a problem which prevented players from reaching the maximum level in Mass Effect, or the reduction of transferable credits between the first opus and Mass Effect 2 for “to balance” progression.
Full list of patch changes:
