DLC
All DLC is pre-packaged for free in the base install of Mass Effect on Origin. People with purchases before the implementation of DLC into the base game can update their game on Origin to receive the DLC.
Bring Down the Sky can also be downloaded separately from Bring Down the Sky DLC Redemption without using Origin.
Essential improvements

Patches
The latest patch is update 1.02 which fixes various issues. The Steam version is already patched.
Mods
User Catechrism has made a texture pack which improves the in-game graphics.
If you are just experiencing really low texture quality see low res textures fix and see if that helps as mod does effect game performance significally and has problems with under 4K monitors including "shimmering" effect.

Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Game simply doesn't start
Launcher crashes (retail)
Failed to compile shader ** error
Therum missing textures
If this however wouldn't fix the problem. The issue is not to be found anywhere else than on Therum.
People and objects become black
Low res textures fix
IGameExplorer --> Verify Access. Unable to verify access to the game
No high resolution option
Issues unresolved
Playing in 4:3 resolutions like 1600x1200(useful for non-widescreen monitors and projectors) results in some menu screens displaying incorrectly: the left and right hand sides of the screen are clipped (as if "zoomed in" too far), so important information cannot be seen (like journal details and the map legend). Screens affected include: Map, Party Selection, Planet details, and Journal. Currently the only known fix is to use a 16:9 screen resolution when playing, like 1920x1080.
