Mass Effect 2 1.01 PC patch released

Today's patch is brought to you by Garrus' evil twin Barrus.

The first update is in for the PC version of Mass Effect 2, bringing with it a fairly long list of bug fixes, including major ones for single core users, and another (amusing one) where Mass Effect would be uninstalled if uninstalling Mass Effect 2.
