Where to look for the current patch version installed?

Question

I was reading the Masseffect.wikia Planet Scanning article and found this tip:

Patch your game. Before you begin mining, make sure that you have patch 1.02 or higher as it reduces the time required for mining by providing a larger scan area.

I did not find the current version number anywhere in the game setting, where should I look? By the way, I bought the game on Steam, I thought it is supposed to be patched automatically, isn't it?

Answer

Each installed Game in your Steam library has an individual setting for whether or not it should be kept up to date. You can verify that this option is selected for Mass Effect by right-clicking on the entry in your Library, then choosing Properties. On the Updates tab there is a check box entitled "Always keep this game up to date".

To answer the actual question: this Technical FAQ http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/106/index/6861142/1 says to run the ME2 Launcher, select Configure and choose the Game tab. The number next to MassEffect2.exe is your patch level.

Check this to see if the Launcher behaviour is different in the Steam version (which I don't have) and let me know, at which point I'll edit out this caveat.
