I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that any actual "fix" will come only when it can be advantageously timed to boost up "gratitude" near incoming DLC and/or when the multiplayer activity starts tapering off.

Alas, I already treat multiplayer like the rest of BioWare's mini-games. I stay away from their mini-games like the plague.

The multiplayer's actually pretty fun, I'm playing it right now
I suppose it's because I like mini-games like N a z i (I had to do this because the word is apparently blocked) Zombies.

This is getting old real fast. I been reading these posts for 10 days now and I can't take sitting back any longer. No news since the 9th come on already. I find it hard to believe that no one outside of the company (game reviewers) ran into this problem and reported it longer before hand. Yet many gave it the best or near the best scores. It's a real shame how this problem is being handled. Look at CDProjekt They give FREE updates to both Witcher games and change things with no problem long after release. I don't know what happened to Bioware but they lost all DLC sales from be and probebly future game purchases also.

Actually, I managed to get in contact with one of the Staff at the OXM (the UK Official Xbox360 Magazine) and he said they've covered this issue in one of there online blogs.

www.oxm.co.uk/39605/blog/how-a-broken-mass-effect-3-save-blew-my-mind/

Well its nice to know that least some reviewers are doing there jobs, but the magazine still gave it a 10.  Hopelfully this error will be fixed soon and they give some sort of apology, but I won't hold my breath.

What do you mean by that?

I too am curious, please elaborate

It's the standard line, 'we're listening' in all their facebook messages and twitter responses to anything anybody has a problem with or wants explained. Sometimes it's longer like 'we're listening and giving feedback to the developers/writers/santa'

Keep this topic Gooing and please join the Hold The Line Topic also!

The more pressure that the customizers ( US) set on BWand EA the more presure they will feel to handle the current situation! Dont give up!

I posted in the Hold the line Topic->
http://social.biowar...ndex/10084349/1
Post 1 there is keeping to update the most important in the topic.  Only spoilers about the ending that  we all know about  now.

Hello My name is Nicole Shepard.

I am reporting in here to Hold the line!

After hearing that the reapers have attacked earth i was hoping to get in and blow them out of the galaxy.

Unfortunatly i could not join in because My face was so much damaged due dooing all the quests in Me1 and Me2 That my facial structure could not be determinated.

So with a lot of pain in my heart i gave all that i have gone true and all the choises i made in over 300+ hours in the Galaxy to a complete stranger.

Well the stranger failed badly . Maybe someday Bioware will Fix the Face import Bug and there will be an end to the quest thats completly different as that what happened to the stranger today!

I know someone that might buy Me1 Me2 SE and ME3 SE and even a scaled model of the normandy 2 and will donate the money to Childs Play.

Nicole is Joining in on To Hold The Line!








Bioware FIX your Game! and Communicate in an open and Honest way to us!
Regards from The Netherlands ( Europe).

Hold the line!

While I'm not sure how much we can expect regarding the import feature, one very change would also help a lot:
Change the lighting and view angle in the ME3 CC to match the ME2 CC. It would make reconstructing faces so, SO much easier.

[DOCTOR CHA0TICA]

Heres my custom Shep....used no mods/hacks or work arounds. (Which I will never use, because modifying files on Xbox is a clear violation of the XBL T&C's) The only thing I did change from ME 2 to 3 was his beard.



Looks exactly like "my" Shep, only older.

Its impossible with Nicole. I tried and some other very experienced posters in this topic tried. It cannot be done (:
The hair, eyebrows , little scars and some facial structure of Nicole  is missing in ME3 codes.

I tried all the solutions that were posted here and 2 other posters also tried that.

I went back to a new ME2 game imported face again from Me1 and i surprisingly did get a code this time ( see my previous posting about that). But if i enter the code in ME3 it accepts the code and gives me a complete stranger to play with.

Ok with some modifications and tweets i tried correcting most and played but it was not fun.

The thing that strikes me the most is that Bioware knew about this problem and lied about it.
They were always a very honest caring trustworthy Company trying to communicate with there fanbase.

Whats happening right now is a war between the fans and BW and i HATE that!
No apologies made .. No Honest replies ore statements made. Letting fans do all the work about the face import Bug  ( work that Bioware should do itself!) I pyed 90 Euro for the game ( SE) and a scaled model of the normandy.

I cant go into to details but if BW doesnt fix things and keeps on communicating with us as they do now I will sell all the games i have from BW and EA and donate the money to Childs Play.

I will never ever again buy something from them.

*edit i talked about anothor game studio and video presentation* i have edited it away.. It could give Bw a chance to lock this topic ore give a warning. * edit end.

Take Care

It's only fun for so long I've had the game since the 8th and only played the multiplayer because of this issue and boy is it getting boring.

Wow, that basically says nothing.

Yeah, at least the CSR thought it was worth passing on to the devs.  And the CSR seemed to see the problem, but what I really want to hear is what the devs have to say about it.

[Aensland75]

Had to recreate my Shepard's face also on my Xbox. It seems that it goes somewhere wrong between ME1 and ME3. Created faces in ME2 work just fine for ME3.

My pc version of Shepard had a haircut between ME1 and ME2. And it worked for ME3.
Must've been a bad hairday.

This seems to be true for some faces and not others. I have a female shepard that was created in ME2 and didn't import. The ME3 version looked nothing like her.

Yups True i saw many postings with faces with code that are set into Me3 and completly showed another Shepard  as the Me2 created one.

Its a MAJOR bug! the test team must have got it. There is no way they could have missed it. But the $$$ team ( probably EA) set oh well who cares.. We want in on the Market NOW!

Take care!

I just can't recreate my Shepard, the eyes, the nose, the hair just don't seem to exist and I can't even tell all the colours apart to be able to find the right colour!
p.s it might be I just lose patience before stumbling upon the right settings, if anyone with a few minutes to spend is able to recreate an accurate Shep and puts a code I would love you forever and reward you with...well holding the line still so nothing... lol

By just doing this:

KunamiMata wrote...

Here is basically what I did.

1. Start a brand new Mass Effect 2 save file with your Mass Effect imported Shepard. It has to be brand new, because you're going to need to move, not copy it, to a USB flash drive that is formatted to work on your 360. You don't want to do this with your finished game save, so make sure it's a new one (i.e. right when you wake up from your coma, save and quit).

2. Go to Settings in your dashboard, System, Storage, Hard Drive and find your Mass Effect 2 save (not "Mass Effect 2 Importer"). Inside, you should find files for all your DLC and each of your careers. They will all be named after your Shepards and dated. Move the career you just created to your USB flash drive (don't copy, because the Xbox won't allow it).

3. Download and install this program on your PC (it's best to have this version): hotfile.com/dl/143431599/02eaea8/Modio_3.zip.html

4. Plug your USB flash drive into your PC, and using Modio, select Open from a device. Click the device you see. Mass Effect 2 should pop up in that list. Select it, then select your Shepard's save file. When the following window pops up, click the File Contents tab at the top. You should see several .xbsav extensions. Right click one of them and extract them all to your desktop (or where ever you prefer).

5. Go to this website and register on it: legion.cal24.pl/me2/

6. Once you've registered at that site and logged in, click the My saves tab at the top of the page. The specific save file that you extracted to your desktop (or where ever) that you're going to want to upload here should be named Save_0001.xbsav. Go ahead and upload that save on this site.

7. You should now have one save listed at the top of that page with a string of options following it. The second to last option on that row is Morph head. Click that option.

8. Now new options show up. You want to click Export YAML. It should download a file to your computer called morphhead.yaml. Check this file in Notepad to make sure it's all in code that you can read (only read, not necessarily understand), otherwise the file is mucked up and you have to try this step again.

9. Once you have a decent YAML file to work with, upload it in one of two places, depending on the sex of your Commander Shepard -

Female Shepards will upload here: masseffecttools.99k.org/femshep_upload.php

Male Shepards will upload here: masseffecttools.99k.org/maleshep_upload.php

Remember to add your Shepard's name, because it's how you recover the face template code.

10. Lastly, you're going to want to get your Shepard's code, again in one of two places depending on the sex -

Female Shepards codes are here: masseffecttools.99k.org/femshep_code.php

Male Shepards codes are here: masseffecttools.99k.org/maleshep_code.php

All you need to do now is enter the name you typed when you uploaded your YAML file, and bam, instant Shepard readout and code for your Shepard. There will be a little tweaking required (as pointed out by the ***** asterisks), but it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad as trying to recreate your Shepard from scratch. It'll generally be little things like hairstyle, makeup color, or eye color. You know, the easy things to remember and fix. Everything without the ***** next to them should be correct, though.

And that's pretty much how I got my Shepard back without waiting for any sort of patch. You just enter that code you get at the bottom of that page into your custom character creation back on your 360 copy of Mass Effect 3 and do the necessary tweaking and you're done.

I dont know if you all saw the presentation on ( Betsheda? ) creators of Skyrim. its a 45 minute video in which Tim tell how he thinks games must  be created and work! It contains no spoilers at all for ME.  Its somewere on Gamespot. If you are interested i will find the link! . It was a great presentation! and Bioware should see it also and can only learn from that!

Take Care

I would love to see that video, please find the link

Also, don't worry about "talking about other game studios"- Chris Priestly even has pictures of Half Life and other games in his personal photos on his forum profile.

See, look- SKYRIM SKYRIM SKYRIM FUS RO DAH!!!!!!!

I went through all of that using my pc version (i have pc version of two games as well when they were like £5-£10 each so I had something to play on my 7 hour train journeys). I'm telling you it doesn't create anything near what I have partly due to the missing features. I won't do it for 360 because as someone rightly pointed out it defies the microsoft xbox legal notice.

Thanks for the heads up about talking about other studios, I just edited a post I made becasue of it.

[meatsack]

After having the game intalled and ready to go for almost 2 weeks I finally found time last night to play for an hour.

Having been glued to these forums, I was able to avoid a number of blunders and mis-steps others experienced (both on the intall and patching ).  Apart for some odd graphic artifacts on the title screen, the game launched and has run without a hitch.

I was unsure how the face import of my Shepard was going to work.  Sure enough when I tried, it flat out failed. 

Now, I was prepared to play with a new character face but I decided at least 1 kick at the can couldn't hurt.

Following the instructions from Chris's first post on this thread for the "Mass Effect Tools " page I was able to obtain my ME2 face code and enter it into the CC for ME3.   Needless to say what came out was nothing like my ME2 character.  Having the code breakdown however, and 20 min of my time I was able to restore my Shepard to his former glory ( his hair is not quite right and he is missing his scar but those I can live with ).

Thing I noted:

1.  The CC part doesn't appear to fully render the face image as it will appear in the game.  Those trying to restore their charcters should launch the game to make sure the results are as they hoped.

2.  From what I found in fixing my ME2 -> ME3 import, the required patch for the CC should only be adding the missing facial features that is missing between the 2 games and fix the code importer.  Al the facial features that are avaiable matched from ME2 -> ME3 worked once I fine tuned it.

3.  As always, lets be patient and give Bioware time to develop the patch.  Many here have expressed a desire / belief that this should have been fixed within the first week.   Having a background in this field I can assure you, patching a game like this across 3 disperse platforms will take time to code and test.  I wouldn't expect a patch until at least beginning to middle of April.

Just my 2 cents
