Patch incoming rose_in_shadow April 4 2017, 17:37:30 UTC
In case you haven't been following the twitter account, the folks running the @masseffect just posted this update with a link to a news page on the ME website. https://www.masseffect.com/news/the-journey-ahead?sf53509845=1

Shortened version (with commentary in brackets)

This Thursday, we’ll release a new patch that addresses technical fixes (crashes, improved performance), but also adds a number of improvements we’ve heard you ask for, such as:

- Allowing you to skip ahead when travelling between planets in the galaxy map
- Increasing the inventory limits [Really? I think I only hit the cap once and that was before I started deleting stuff I wasn't using.]
- Improving the appearance of eyes for humans and asari characters [Seriously? Is this such a huge concern that it deserves space in a patch?]
- Decreasing the cost of remnant decryption keys and making them more accessible at merchants [The puzzles aren't that hard... and credits are just laying around. I've managed to buy tons of the decryption keys without breaking the bank.]
Improving localized voice over lip sync
- Fixing Ryder’s movements when running in a zig zag pattern
- Improving matchmaking and latency in multiplayer

There are many more adjustments being made, all of which you can find in our patch notes. [Can anyone summarize this from the link? I'm posting this in a hurry from work. >_>]

Over the next two months we’ll be rolling out additional patches which will go even deeper and look to improve several areas of the game:

- More options and variety in the character creator
Improvements to hair and general appearance for characters
- Ongoing improvements to cinematic scenes and animations
- Improvements to male romance options for Scott Ryder
- Adjustments to conversations with Hainly Abrams

These upcoming patches will also address performance and stability issues. And we’re looking at adding more cosmetic items to single player for free.

For multiplayer, over the same timeframe, we’re going to continue to build on the APEX missions that have been running since launch. We’ll be adding new maps, characters, and weapons. On Thursday, we kick off the first of three new chapters centered around The Remnant Investigation.

The patch really seemed to smooth some things out. Addison no longer looks like a Barbie doll from the 80s, but far more realistic. I've also noticed more facial animations on just about everyone, even aliens like Jaal.

OH! That explains why my invo was at 200 yesterday. I was mostly okay with just the cryo pod options that added slots to your invo. I max out all the time, but that's because I always forget to get rid of stuff. 200 is excessive, I think. (And did my cryo points make that number go up to 200? Or did my points just get forgotten?)

Your cryo points made the number go up. I believe the new starting capacity is 100.
