I agree

Just got 8.6 Catalyst - brand spanking new, and the problem is still there. First real graphical anomoly that I've had with ATI in about 5 years.

Same here, 8.6 should've fixed the problem, I looked at the notes and it doesn't say anything about it there

So far ATI haven't failed me as well, maybe it's an engine related issue that will be fixed in a patch

EDIT: Apparently we're not the only ones: http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums...6152&forum=127

(There's a fix there, But I haven't tried it)

The fix works, and I don't notice any negative effects from it. The lights look normal once again, and I'm sure the only thing this tweak took away was messed up textures anyway so you don't want it till a fix can be had.

PS. THis says something too:

Catalyst Beta Drivers should show up here eventually:

Yeah, will keep an eye out

Level 50 is all you can achive in Mass Effect? It came near the end, but still!!! I want to be level 51! I finished all the endings too.

Spoiler below!!!







































































I prefer letting the stupid council bite it I think.

Level 60 is the max, but i think you can only hit that level on the hardest difficulty setting or something, otherwise its level 50

I thought I selected the hardest level avail? Maybe I didn't?

I did find combat to not be much of a challenge. Maybe i screwed up here.

I belive the hardest difficulty setting becomes available after beating the game ones. One of the achievements though is getting to level 60 (super power gamer or something)

That's true. The Insanity level becomes available only after beating the game on Hardcore (casual-normal-veteran-hardcore-insanity) .The same goes for Veteran or Hardcore-you have to play the game on previous difficulty first. I'm not sure how far you're able to make it on given difficulty but on my second run in Veteran I made it over level 50. It largely depends on how you play the game. Completing all the quests is self-evident, surveying the uncharted worlds thoroughly helps too - decrypting mini-game nets you xp's as well. One thing many people may overlook is that by using Mako's armament you get only about 1/3 or so of available xp's. I noticed this on Noveria when using Mako on rocket-geth I got 18 xp's and in a stand-up fight 48 respectively.

Bah, Mass Effect was a game I looked forward to for a long time but I ended up hating it. It wouldn't have been such a problem to me if the AI wasn't stone dead retarded and the writing was so staggeringly incompetant it made Hideo Kojima look like Stanley Kubrick.

Even Soveriegn can't attack the Citadel by himself! Whoops he can. No problem, let's call on our massive fleets gaurding all of the Mass Relays into the system.....that never noticed Sov breaching the defenses. They never bother to ask why the Citadel isn't talking either. :)

Oh yeah, and their are HUGE sections of the Citadel that are totally unknown and no one has a problem with this. And a working Mass Relay right in the Council Chambers! EXCELLENT SECURITY! :)
