Bioware decides to patch some things up on a higher level despite the fact that the facial animations were improved in the past too. Mass Effect: Andromeda Update 1.09 is going to do the same, and also improve the stability of the game in general. This patch also adds a very new Multiplayer difficulty, Platinum while the teaser trailer for the new Multiplayer difficulty was released earlier this week.
On top of everything, the patch seems to address a lot of issues encountered by players. Even if the teaser trailer was not something to be amazed from, the developers have pretty much let us know about the new mixed enemy faction within the 1.09 update. While the patch is already available on Origin and the pc users, players that enjoy playing on other platforms will need to be a bit more patient as the patch will be released slightly later.
Players will no longer struggle with the hair textures that may disappear from females when using Facial Reconstruction Suite. Mass Effect: Andromeda continues to get improvements as the community just continues to report whenever they encounter something bad.
