Can one export a character file from their save file? I recently formatted my hard drive, redownloaded the save I had sent to myself, and discovered that while I could load the save I could only do so using the "resume" function. If I try to load it with "load game", the game claims I have no careers and no saves.

[Kloreep]

I should probably add in something describing the Save folder structure. ME2's save files are supposed to be in sub-folders that look like this: "Alexandr_11_Sentinel_310110" - so more explicitly, the format is:

Firstname_##_class_DDMMYY

The date being the day that Shepard was started in or imported into ME2. Those pound signs are what I can't advise you on; I believe they're Origin and Career (e.g. Colonist/War Hero) but I don't know which signal which. I know at least one person did the testing to figure that out, so you could search if it matters. I imagine you'd be fine just putting in any digits between 1 and 3, as long as you don't mind it being inaccurate in the loading menus.

That did it. Thanks!

Quick addition of 2.2.10 on Cerberus Network log-in problems with a suggestion sent to me (thanks Bogsnot). One of these days I'll see about expanding it myself. If any of you want to get there first I'm happy to add your suggestions.

I have an intel i5 661@3.33ghz, 6gb of ram, windows 7, here's the kicker: I have a ATI Radeon 5850 1gb. I downloaded mass effect 2 on steam, went to play it and it gives me the error message in non-steam message: "Failed to initialize the physics system. Please ensure you have an updated version of the PhysX System Software installed."

From what I've read, apparently steam makes sure all the stuff you need to play the game you have, usually. For example if you need directx version 10 to play the game it will download and install it for you along with the game. I did some research online and it turns out nvidia doesnt allow computers with non-nvidia graphics cards to use physx...

Several questions spring to mind. 1. Can I find a loophole or fix to play the game without having to buy a new graphics card? Anyone? 2.Why understand system requirements is ATI radeon cards listed at all?! 3. Will steam refund me if they or I or bioware can't find a solution? 4. What the heck, nvidia?

Also if anyone finds the fix where you use your ati card to render graphics and a nvidia card for the physx software and link them with that patch, that won't work with my computer because I would need to buy a nvidia card, then i would need a new power supply to power both cards, a new casing/tower to hold the bigger supply, and maybe a stronger fan or cooling system? Not willing to shell out money for new parts when all my parts work fine and are all still under warranty.

Please help me you guys! This is extremely frustrating.

I am having a massive problem. Not a month ago, I could play ME2 no problems. Today, I tried to play, and to my utter surprise, it fed me an error that read "Failed to authenticate disk. Please insert correct disk". After multiple repeated attempts, including launching from EADM (which has now been re-named to Origin, for some unfathomable reason), and a patch update, it still keeps feeding me the same message....

[Gorath Alpha]

Clean the disk very carefully, and also clean the DVD drive. If the disk is scratched, you may have to replace it with the EA Store's digital download (sorry, I can't tell you how that works, my own disk is still fine).

[Jarmug]

It's not the disk OR drive that's the problem - I can run other games that require disks perfectly, and the only place that my CD has been (other than the drive) is its case. And you kinda missed the part where I tried launching from EA Download Manager.

[mcsupersport]

To launch from Origin/eadm, you would have to uninstall the game, and then reinstall using the origin/eadm. This is because the registry entries for the game were all from the disk version, and thus wouldn't use the origin/eadm files to run the game without doing a disc check.
Stupid checks times, do you have the correct disc in the drive, ie disk ONE?
What has changed in the last month since you played?? Updates, firmware, virus protection??
Are you using the same drive that you installed with?? ie do you have 2 drives and have you tried both??
other than this stuff, you should post a thread listing your specs and maybe some one will read and have an better idea.

[Jarmug]

Thanks man. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it.

Hi !

Please help me. I have bought the ME1 and the ME2 and I bought a lot of Bioware points.
I have installed the games. By starting the ME2 asked for my EA e-mail address and password.
It is not my first original EA game , so what I entered it was an existing account.
Then it asked for the key to the Cerberus Network and I provided it too.
I think it is the same as the CD-key of the game installation , as there was no other code to the game .
( It is also written on the pack that it contains a specific , individual code ).

So the system accepted what I entered , returned to the main menu , and in the lower right corner it writes : " Activation of Cerberus Network ".
Has it now indeed been activated or not ?
Is the Cerberus Network at all accessible ?
I do not have such a menu point as Downloadable Items .
I have then registered the game on the site Social.Bioware.com , which has immediately accepted it.
My Bioware card says that I should go to the site social.bioware.com/redeem and there I should enter the package-points code.
Anything I write in , there comes the answer that the key is already in use.
My keys are new , unopened Bioware keys ; so I do not understand why the system says that.
If I click on profile -> add Bioware points , there I can only purchase new ones.
I do not want to buy new ones ; I want to activate my existing ones that I have already paid for.


Please somebody help me
Thank you in advance

This is not a help thread, this is a tech FAQ. If you dnot get answers to your questions from the first initial post, then create a new topic and asks your questions in there, after reading the "Read First" thread and providing us with the information we need to help troubleshoot your problem.

[Itsari709]

right sorry about that

[Itsari709]

it is a FAQ right Frequently asked questions
well how can there be a faq if no one asks questions and where better to put them then in a faq topic?

[AnotherRho]

Thanks for this FAQ, it's very helpful.

I have a couple of suggestions (namely, solutions); take a look and add/modify them as necessary.

1.3.4 - There are actually two similar bugs. First (rarer), when no power icon can be moved from one character (e.g. none from Shepard, but team mate's move fine). Solution: save and reload. Second, the one already described (when trying to move one power icon onto the bar, but another icon moves instead). Solution (100% success rate for me. The crashing stopped once I tried this out): note which icon IS moving and then stop at once (release the key). Next, move the icon which was actually moving and release it anywhere on the screen (i.e., you don't actually have to map it to the bar; just move it). Now you should be able to move the icon of your choice. If the problem persists, repeat; otherwise, save-reload.

1.4.6 - Of the "F-key" problem on Mordin's Loyalty Mission: the "may" is too weak; it is a genuine bug (100% failure rate if the conditions are met: the bug only "triggers" if you "look around" AND you perform any action which would put a weapon in Shepard's hands). Easy prevention: when you choose to "look around", do not pull out your weapons (so, e.g., don't TAP "F/melee", but click and hold).

Thanks again.

Thanks for the info, wasn't aware of any of that. Will add it in.

One thing I'm not clear on:

I'm not certain what the underlined part means. Do you mean release the HUD key (default Shift), and then hold it again and do the "move and release the icon that was moving" trick?

[AnotherRho]

Glad to help (it is not impossible that I have played this game too much). Such user-collected FAQs are really helpful, since the internet is otherwise an ocean of bits of information.

* To clarify my ambiguous statement:
The SHORT answer: no, don't release the HUD key; rather I mean release the mouse key (= the key which is being used to drag the power icon).
LONGER (for those who like to read): Basically what you're doing is aligning your intention with the computer's faulty processing, by intentionally doing what the computer is wrongly "doing".
So, rewording the original: from the so-called Power Wheel, one clicks on and holds the Power-X icon and starts to drag it to the "hotkeys" bar, but instead the icon for Power Y moves. Solution: keep Y in mind, but release the mouse key, i.e., stop dragging the Power-Y icon toward the hotkeys bar. -- [The reason you must stop dragging the (wrong) icon is that, if the game is going to crash, it'll crash when you take the Power-Y icon onto the hotkey bar.] -- Next, _intentionally_ click and drag the Power Y icon from the "power wheel", and release it anywhere on the screen. At this point, the problem should be solved, and you may map the powers of your choosing.

about DLC
after installing one DLC, I can keep playing any ongoing profile?

[LollerCoaster69]

Hey, I have a problem, I bought my Cerberus Network code, and in the Mass effect wiki it says you will get Mass Effect: Genesis with, but no, I did not get it. If this is true I would like to have my money back. :l

[Gorath Alpha]

You are complaining in the WRONG place. This is a gamer to gamer forum. We are here seeking suggestions from fellow game players. EA isn't here. You have to complain to them on their site, not here, sorry. There is nothing we can do for you here. Nothing at all.

[ShinsFortress]

I have problem 1.4.4 but only sub-problem c.
a and b are fine.
Any ideas?

Not quite sure if this is the right place to ask this.....Is there a chance to play ME2 with Xbox 360 Controller for Windows?

Thank you in Advance.
