Mass Effect: Legendary Edition has received a new patch that brings various fixes and improvements to all three titles in the popular sci-fi RPG compilation. Some of the general changes include improved PC performance across various hardware configurations, fewer instances of crashing, and English spoken dialogue now being able to be selected separately from subtitle language. BioWare has also toned down the volume of Mass Relay jumps during Mass Effect’s loading screens, which many fans have purportedly complained about.
