Now that the game is force to pass by Origin, modders can't use texmod anymore to get the textures modded.

Again a way to insult fans and modders !

Purpose I suppose that if you want some new armor textures etc... you will need to buy they dlc with they brand new armors, brand new guns with exclusigf texture !

We just need your money my friends  Ya know we don't like modders they do our jobs better than us and give the mods for free !

Why would Origin block texmod? You don't have to go through it every time you launch the game. Not unless its gonna do that stupid browser launcher like BF3, which there's no reason to assume it is. Every other EA game even when installed through Origin can still be launched from the exe without logging through Origin first.

Well everytime i launch the ME3 demo it launch Origin too.

Last time i was playing ME3 coop and get Origin disconnect and gor a message ingame saying that origin was disconnected and the game had to exit, so i get a nice return to windows with the game not running.

Had to reconnect Origin to launch the game.

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

just because origin has to run while the demo is running doesn't mean you can't use the .exe in the game folder to launch it

[Doctoglethorpe]

Hmm, your right it does, I hadn't noticed. Thats new, idk if thats just cause its a demo or what. Dunno if that proves you can't use texmod though. Unless its traceable and considered a bannable offense for multiplayer. But its a purely local override so I don't see why it would be.

I was just able to launch it via Texmod, OP.

[Ulukaidelu]

I mean that texmod doesn't work if the game use a third party to launch.

Rakia that's what I do to launch ME3 I use it's shortcut and then it launch Origin.

Take ME2 box, texmod work cause it don't need third party program to launch, now take ME2 steam version, well texmod won't work cause ME2 need steam to work.

Same for ME3 now it need origin to work and so texmod don't work.

Yes you can launch the game via texmod but it will do nothing in game since when you launch the game with texmod it wil launch origin too.

[Shadowrun1177]

Well I don't know about the whole Texmod thing, but I know for a fact that Origin only needs to be on for the initial activation of retail ME3, the only time Origin will need to be on constantly is if your planning to play online multiplayer. It was stated awhile back in the ME3 and Origin FAQ awhile back.

Oh, right, OK.  I see what you're saying.

[GnusmasTHX]

Even more pressing is the notion that you need texmod to replace texture for any of the ME games.

Mass Effect 2 on Steam works perfectly with Texmod. I use it all the time.

Is your ME2 Steam-bought?

That trick doesn't work with Origin though.

People have been saying this for 10 years and its all been BS for the most part, but Origin is actually the first thing to truly threaten it because now if other big publishers get the same idea as EA, soon we might have not just Steam and Origin but a seperate client for every dang publisher.

Yes, here's an easy tutorial on how to make it work: http://social.biowar...8/index/5314761
Scroll down to the Steam users part.

It's about control.  Additional content extends the life of a game.  EA has long tried to make it so that you have to buy a new game every year. 

Mods = bad

ME 2013, 2014, 2015, etc = good.

Negative.  Origin needs to run for ME3 to run.  Shut Origin off with ME3 running and ME3 will also shut down.  At least, this is certainly the case with the demo.  I suspect it is the same with the full game.  Kinda like those Steam-binded games.

If you're looking to get around Origin for single player, there are ,*ahem*, ways. This is, of course, only for singleplayer. Not sure if sandboxing Origin would keep it from blocking Texmod, but I doubt it. Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised this is the direction devs are starting to take.

Mods are, after all, just free DLC. And often times, they're superior to the paid DLC. Go figure that some guy with time and passion can create far more imaginative and exciting works of art than a paid squad of guys. Time constraints, budget constraints, and marketing are not conducive to truly valuable DLC, which is precisely why mods are so crucial to the success of PC games. Just ask Bethesda.

Thankfully, we can at least break open the Coalesced files and make some alterations in there, a la ME2. This could possibly allow for FOV changes and controller support, as well as separation of the 'omni button' into multiple keys. Give PC gamers time, and nothing is too ironclad to bust.

which is 1 of the reasons that i enjoy bethseda's fallout & elder scrolls series. They support modding & provide a modding kit to the fans. BW said u need Origin running to play the demo, but i don't know if it will need to be running for the full game.

[chance52]

I never would have played ME2 as often as I did without the few mods that were possible, now it looks like 3 will have even less possibilities.

I love how Origin's primary purpose, according to EA customer support, is to look for pirated software and treats paying customers like criminals while the pirates get Origin free ME3 and presumably a game that TexMod can work on. Do I get anything the pirates don't get for giving you $80 BioWare? Aside from more hassles?

[AlphaJarmel]

Wow are you serious?

This seriously sucks.

[Yuoaman]

The reason Texmod doesn't work is because the executable you're opening ME3 with actually opens Origin with a command to run ME3 - so it would be affecting Origin and not the game itself - kind of sad.

EA dumped Steam due to crap going on over DLC delivery or something and what not. Then again, EA is also the only one having this problem with Steam. All this when Origin was announced and released.

It ain't obvious or something.
