One of the biggest changes in the 1.05 patch is the ability to skip ahead during the paletary travel sequences. These scenes seem to drag on and on and get longer with each one. Players will now be able to skip all that and simply show up at the planet. Other major fixes include the “running in a zig zag” issue and are even improving the look of human and asari eyes.
The full patch notes for the 1.05 update can be found below:
Improved tutorial placement
Single player balance changes: Ammo crates, armor, weapons, nomad, profiles, attacks, and progression
Skippable scenes while traveling between planets
Multiplayer balance changes: Weapons, cover, and enemies (detailed notes on this to come later)
Added option to skip autopilot sequences in the galaxy map
Improved logic, timing, and continuity for relationships and story arcs
Improved lip-sync and facial acting during conversations, including localized VO

Fixed issue where global squad mate banter sometimes wasn’t firing on UNCs
Fixed issue where player was unable to access the Remnant Console Interface after failing decryption multiple times
