Passend zum ersten kostenlosen Zusatzpaket "Bring Down the Sky" hat Entwickler Bioware den ersten Patch für "Mass Effect" veröffentlicht. Patch 1.01a widmet sich Audioproblemen und beseitigt Absturzursachen im Zusammenhang mit dem "Mass Effect Configuration Utility". Die komplette Liste der Fehlerbehebungen:

• added some infrastructure support for additional downloadable content
• updated the image of the Batarian race in the codex
• fixed an issue where the center channel for hardware audio wouldn't play correctly sometimes
• fixed an issue where the hardware mouse pointer would disappear when first selected
• fixed an issue where Shepard did not auto-crouch when entering cover in some places
• fixed a tool-tip indicating a game restart is needed before enabling hardware or software audio if the option was changed
• fixed an issue where ambient conversation would not be heard from rear speakers sometimes
• fixed a text string to make it clearer on how to exit a vehicle
• fixed a text string so the tool top for dragging the map is clearer in French languages builds
