A new patch for Mass Effect: Andromeda [official site] has blasted off with performance improvements, a few tweaks to cinematics and animations, and plenty of bug fixes. Good news: your robopal has stopped lying about you having new e-mail. Bad news: you can no longer romance both Peebee and Cora or Vetra (not that Andromeda’s romances are much cop). Update 1.06 is now live so let’s go rummage in the patch notes.Rather than dump the lot here, I’ll pick out a few bits and pieces:

This update comes just over one month after version 1.05, a patch which hugely improved Andromeda’s human faces by making their eyes less dead.
I think I’ll probably pick Andromeda up when it gets a decent sale discount so sure, good, do keep improving it so Janey-Come-Latelys like me get a primo first experience. It’s a shame that people who are most enthusiastic about it will have had the shoddiest experiences.
