Mass Effect Is "More Valuable Than Dragon Age," Even Without Its Developers, Says BioWare Veteran

Mass Effect and Dragon Age are two of BioWare's biggest franchises, but one may be worth much more than the other -- at least in the mind of one of the studio's key developers.

Bug fixes and changes 

General

• Performance and stability fixes.
• Fixed an issue where the Percentage Map Discovered did not reach 100% even after discovering the entirety of each Region (Bug 4500482).
• Reset all PR Stunt Leaderboards due to the presence of unrealistic entries (Bug 4610362)
  • Developer’s Note:
    With the release of Series 7, there will be a reset of all PR Stunt leaderboards. The team has focused on addressing several exploits that could be used to set illegitimate PR stunt scores, and we want to wipe the slate clean as a result to provide players with a fairer experience going forward.
• The number of Festival Playlist Points required to unlock new cars has been reduced.
  • Developer’s Note:
    We have made this change based on community feedback, with the intent of making new cars easier to earn for all players, including those without access to the game’s online content.

Cars

• Fixed an issue with shadows on the Varis Widebody Kit for the 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TM Edition (Bug 4588148).
• Fixed an issue with the 1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32 Gr.A) JTC where players could not place stickers over the windshield banner (Bug 4581352).
• Fixed an issue with the 2018 Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 where the wheels clip through barriers (Bug 4534145).
• Fixed an issue with the 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista dashboard where the boost gauge and gear were not being displayed properly (Bug 4588775).
• Fixed an issue with the 2017 Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro where the brake calipers were reversed (Bug 4538304).
• Fixed a typo on the 2025 McLaren W1 dashboard (Bug 4562888).
• Fixed an issue with the 2004 Saleen S7 where the badge was on the hood (pre-production) rather than the bumper (production) (Bug 4602256).
• Fixed an issue with the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-1.6 Evolution II Forza Edition where livery mapping changed depending on level of detail (Bug 4581348).
• Performance fix for the 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior (Bug 4578281).
  • Developer’s Note:
    The Ginetta G40 Junior was released in Series 5 and was quickly noted to perform significantly better than cars within the same PI Class across several different PI Classes. Its overperformance created a negative sentiment surrounding the car and its effect on the meta, while also negatively impacting the experience of Horizon Play and Rivals. As a result, within this patch, we have made the decision to fix the performance of the Ginetta G40 Junior.
• Added a filter to the Autoshow and Garage to show cars that are eligible for the current Festival Playlist Events (Bug 4569487).

Gameplay

• Solo Seasonal Championships now use the player’s chosen difficulty (Bug 4497533).
• Co-op Seasonal Championship difficulty has been increased (Bug 4617769).
• Adjusted the threshold for the Bridge Underpasses Trailblazer across all PI classes (Bug 4521164).
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to see Convoy members at a Custom Estate (Bug 4457838).

Playlist

• Points will be retroactively awarded for the seventh Daily Challenge during Series 6 Week 1 (Summer) for any players who logged on during this week and were unable to complete this (Bug 4607404).
• Points will be retroactively awarded for the third part of the Weekly Challenge during Series 5 Week 4 (Spring) for any players who logged on during this week and were unable to complete this (Bug 4590617).
  • Developer’s Note:
    In order to redeem these points and unlock any Rewards you will need to visit the Series 5 – British Automotive Playlist in the Playlist History Tab.

New Engine Swaps:

Let’s hope this doesn’t break anything that would need a hotfix to be released.

The PS5 version of the racing game will be out on January 26, so stay tuned for more content to drop.
