Now that Mass Effect: Andromeda has been released to the world, all is right within the realm of video games. Okay, that certainly isn’t true. This has been made evident by the fact that the release of the latest installment has had a bit of a rocky start. The major problem that has been the focus of peoples’ concerns has been the animations within the video game. You can check that out here. There have been a few other hiccups along the way, however, such as audio, booting, and gameplay issues. Thankfully, Andromeda Patch 1.04 is here to fix some of these.

In a blog post on BioWare’s website, we learn of all the issues that the Andromeda patch is to fix. One of the main things it is addressing is the inability to land on Ark Natanus in singleplayer.
