So on my second playthrough of mass effect there is a constant glitch that started on the mars base where I cannot pick up any ammo no matter what. After re installing people have told me that it could be some type of corrupt file that I have to remove manually which can be difficult. I tried re installing the game through origin instead of the disc but the glitch is still there which I find odd. Is that type of glitch disc based or does it do something to the origin download as well? Would getting a new phyxial copy fix the problem?

I have this weird bug where the game crashes right before it ends. It cuts off before they can tell us anything and before it gets good or explains anything, then it skips to credits. Weird, but I can't seem to find a way to solve it.

Did you buy retail or through origin and if retail have you tried downloading it through just origin instead of the disc like I did?

They were joking about the ending with the "crash" they were having. :|

Yeah that is a bug, it has been affectionately named as the "artistic integrity" bug. There are currently no workarounds for it but Bioware are addressing this bug with a new patch in the Summer. The patch is even getting a special name, it is being called the EC (which probably stands for Extremely Crap). This new patch will solve the "artistic integrity" bug by introducing 100% more "artistic integrity".

Sounds like your save file is corrupted. I don't think there's any other way to fix it other then to load the save before it happened. Maybe you can get more specific help on the Bioware Social Network.

I have restarted the mission from the beginning of the mars base but still had the problem. Should I just delete the file and restart from the beninning?

That would be a good idea. Also restart your PC.

I have encountered bugs where Shepard becomes frozen on the bridge talking with Joker & EDI. Reloading a save only works if the save was prior to being there.
