Mass Effect 3 crashes after patch

Reports of problems have followed the release of the new patch for Mass Effect 3. Especially hit are the Xbox 360 versions, although some PS3s have been affected.

Access to BioWare’s Mass Effect 3 Servers has been disrupted causing the game to freeze on the title screen and never progress beyond it.

Resets have been reported as needed to get the systems running again. BioWare has claimed that it is ‘now aware of the issue’ and it is seeking to resolve it.

Various minor faults have also been reported such as unavailability for weapons and accessory packs bought from the PSN mainly.
