Hi,

I need a solution for this problem:

I have a multilanguage version of ME1 and some time ago, I switched from the German to the English version. I have installed both ME1 DLCs on both versions of the game, each in the correct language. But when I try to load one of my saved games from the German version, the English version tells me the DLCs are not present. I checked, they are present and their locations can be accessed when I start a new Shepard or load a saved game old enough that there arent any DLCs in it.

The result is that in any version of the game I have installed, German or English, I have no access to half of my Shepards. This is annoying.

I have tried to deal with this problem the following way:

*Editing masseffectconfig.xml so that the localized DLC names of the English and German version are identical
*Copying the localized DLC files from my German installation folder to the English one (no files are overwritten, the localized versions are just added)
*Editing different language flags in various config files.

To no avail. What I would really like to do is edit the information in the saved game itself, removing all DLC-related information from a save made on Eden Prime where it shouldn't matter. But the file appears to be compressed. I wouldn't like to restart these Shepards because it took me hours to create their faces, and likely I wouldn't be able to recreate them anyway.

So I'd like to know: Is there any way I can load a saved game created in the German version of the game with DLC into an English version of the game with DLC? I am not afraid of technical stuff, hex editing and suchlike.

I have the exact same problem. I spend hours with ini Files and Hex editors but no luck. I tried to decompress the save tile with 7zip (works) and open the decompressed files with a hex editor to remove the "Kollisionskurs" entry - but 7zip can't put the save file back together. I gave up and now I have 2 Installations of Mass Effect (one in german with steam and one in english from CD) so i can access my old saves. This works surprisingly well.
