The PC version of Mass Effect 2 has been patched. The notes and 42Mb patch file can be found here at BioWare:
Changes to 1.01


  • Fixed video hitching and crashes related to single core machines.
  • Single core users may experience short periods of black screen that may last up a few seconds between level loads, cinematic transitions or movies.
  • In rare cases, some single core users may notice dialog lines in certain conversations may be delayed up to a few seconds.
  • Fixed an issue where it appears ammunition can be picked up, but can't.
  • Fixed an issue where all Codex entries were marked as 'viewed', even if the player chose not to view them.
  • Fixed an issue where weapon icons are re-organized after downloadable content is used.
  • Fixed an issue where pressing F9 after the mission completion screen reset Shepard to Level 1.
  • Fixed an issue where remapping the right mouse button blocks camera control in the command HUD.
  • Fixed an issue where remapping the 'use' command affects the decryption minigame.
  • Fixed an issue where users were not prompted to restart when logging in to a different EA Online account.
  • Fixed an issue where movies do not play in DLC.
  • It is recommended that players reset their keyboard mapping to default values to ensure proper vehicle control.
  • Added useful messaging during the ME1 save game import.
  • Weapon icon for henchmen never changes from Collector Assault Rifle.
  • Czech language - Issues with Czech localization (subtitles) were amended, all text was corrected and improved.
  • Fixed an issue where the Mass Effect 2 launcher was being associated with files that have no extension.
  • Fixed an issue where uninstalling the game under Windows Vista or Windows 7 might uninstall Mass Effect 1.

The vehicle controls are for the upcomming Hammerhead DLC. Nice little patch, though I was hoping they would add weapon type hotkeys.

I guess that means the hammerhead is coming out relatively soon?

A few weeks ago, they said a few weeks, so it shouldn't be too long. Then again, Return to Ostagar too a month after it was supposed to be released.

No I think it is the same for all resolutions.
Then it is wrong for some resolutions. ;)

Mass Effect 1 had a problematic FOV too. I don't remember exactly what the problem was, probably the same, but either way it was wrong for 16:10 screen resolutions. I remember having to re-adjust it via the console every time I started up the game.

Might be another one of the things that work great on consoles (XBox 360) but don't get spotted in QA for the PC port (if there even is any sort of additional QA for the PC port, sometimes I doubt it). I assume the 360 is locked in at 16:9? And a narrower FOV probably works well when the TV is several feet away, but on a monitor just in front of you it looks wrong.

edit: Found a FOV Changer for ME2, but apparently it screws up the cutscenes. There's also another thread discussing the issue on widescreen gaming forum.
