Mass Effect Andromeda Update Patch v1.05 to Fix Lip-sync and Facial Animation
Ron Perillo / 8 years ago
Bioware is about to issue update patch v1.05 that is scheduled for Thursday, April 6th that aims to improve several key animations such as lip-synching and facial acting during conversations. The eyeball animations for Asari and Human characters have also been improved as well as Ryder’s walking animation problems when running in a zig-zag pattern. Update patch v1.05 also improves multiplayer matchmaking and latency as well.
Many fans and critics have been very vocal about their disappointment with the in-game animation over the past few weeks and even before its release, and this patch is Bioware’s way of saying ‘we are listening’. In addition to cosmetic improvements, Bioware is also finally adding the most requested feature ever since Mass Effect Andromeda launched: galaxy map autopilot sequence skipping. Bioware also urges fans to continue sending in suggestions which they can consider incorporating on subsequent updates.
