So, here is the problem: The patch works. Under a set of circumstances.

Here is where it does not work (at least for me). The patch correctly reads the face code from ME2. But my particular femshep came from ME1. When I first imported her into ME2, I first went and tried to do some tweaks (custom appearance), but ultimately I decided to stick with my imported appearance. In that moment, a face code was generated simply by the fact that I attempted a "custom" appearance even though I ended up sticking with my imported one.

Thus why, when I import my ME2 (the one I originally imported from ME1) into ME3, my femshep looks like Default present #2 and NOT my original creation.

That is more a bug on ME2's part rather than ME3, because of the "false" face code that was generated.

Thanks to whoever suggested deleting the face code from the ME2 save - my Shepard is mostly back. It's like a younger version, anyway...

If your Shepard face isn't importing at all, you need to delete your ME2 face code.

You can try to delete the face code and see if that will give a better result.
http://social.biowar...8/index/2277020 I think these are instructions on how to do it for xbox.
It's a fairly simple proces.

I already "fixed" my issue since I have a file of various face codes and characters that I use.  I originally found my setting for my ME1 face so I just recreated in ME3.

ME3 (with some tweaks & more grown-out hair):


But thanks for the info!

The patch didn't work for me, my femShep does not even look remotely close. What a surprise though

My reaction to the working patch.

Works just fine for me. Going through my many Sheps to see how much the ME3 textures have done. Suffice to say they survived the transition.

Thumbs up to BioWare on this one.

[sevquis]

Well, at least my male customshep face is back but where are my totally evil scars? Why have those in some of the promo vids for ME3 when clearly we can't have them if we go from me1-me2-me3? Seriously guys, some testing would have been great, give me back my evil scars so I can be evil.

Oh and how about some sort of story explanation for Anderson not being the human council representative anymore and udina being in his place?

Also, still get a lot of missing audio glitches. New one that showed up tonight was Illusive Man just waving arms about wierdly and obviously saying something but no audio. Most common audio glitch is Shep or NPC start talking after about 5 seconds or so and the dialogue is cut at the end so you don't here the full line.

Game is fairly good but it is still ME 2.5 not really ME3.

I just saw it as the same character, but a different actor with a similar appearance.

Why did they go and waste resources tinkering with something that wasn't broken?

^This.

Someone in another thread attributed the changes to body and face meshes to the influence of Japanimation. Looking at the Liara statue I think there is a fair possibility that the design was influenced in that direction. Looking at the changed femsheps, I see the hints, too... faces are more heartshaped (cutified) and eyes appear to be bigger (resulting in a younger look). Also my femshep used to have shoulders. The changed body mesh makes her head appear bigger and her overall form seems to be less that of a mature woman and season soldier.

 Been following this thread since the mid 50's and just downloaded the patch this morning and so far, no change to my screwed up Shepard. Both the male and female Shepard look as they did pre-patch but not in previous games.For what they look like  (via my tumblr):
Male Shepard
Female Shepard
To say I'm disappointed with all of this is quite the understatement. I remember back when I flipped on ME2 that I was worried that my Shepard's look wouldn't transfer over but after it did, I had found that I should have had confidence in Bioware not to screw up something like that since it means quite a bit to the player's experience. Which probably makes it harder to to take this since I had that confidence in Bioware but found it a bit shaken after my Shepard's look didn't transfer and a patch which stated would fix the problem did nothing of the sort.

So I'm still debating on what to do but I'll probably just try and recreate my Shepard as best as I can and let Bioware try and build that faith in them back up again.

hhbx the Male Sheppard you are watching is the custom standard Sheppard. The female sheppard is the custom standard too, but with some changes.

[cApAc aMaRu]

I'm writing up my thoughts on all these weird broken things in this game. Guess I've been inspired by smudboy's awesome youtube videos. My notes are pretty funny so far. Might post them on my blog, or make a video or something.

So I just tried the facial import with the new patch they just put out. Results were mixed. My canon femshep looked slightly better than she did before, but still not as good a job as I was able to do custom. However, my canon manshep looked MUCH better. A few difference from the new facial engine, such as a slightly "taller" head, but otherwise he now looks good enough that I can actually play him again.

I have an xbox, so I have no way of posting picture except taking crappy photos of my TV. However, I will be following the thread and seeing what people post to get a broad idea of how well the patch worked. Based on my own experiences, it looks like manshep comes out better than femshep.

It looks like your face is just defaulting to a preset, not even trying to copy.  That's what one of my femsheps did: she defaulted to a face that looked nothing like her. I came on this thread and found another person who got the EXACT same face, which is how I found out it was a preset.  Other sheps I imported at least "tried" to match up though; I don't know what defines whether it does or not.

[darth shango]

I downloaded the patch on my Xbox at 7:37am est and after installing it froze my system when trying to connect to EA servers. I restarted my Xbox and the game loaded without issue. I was able to import my ME1 created Shepard, but there were some appearance issues that I had to correct. 

The hair type was completely wrong even though the correct type exist in settings. My previous skin tone and eye color are missing assets so it did give me the closest available. The facial structure and features were mostly the same except the brow height settings. 

I give the face code error fix part of the patch a C. It did help tremendously that I could edit the imported face directly, unlike in ME2 where if you choose to edit an imported ME1 face you have to start over with a preset custom face. Bottom line, it's not a complete import, but it's better than nothing. Now to finish the fight and see what all the fuss is over the ending;p

I downloaded the patch on 360....loaded up my old ManShep from way back in ME1...I must say not bad at all. I had to tweak the eyes and nose a bit, but other than that...I didn't mind at all.

Manshep seems to work better, I think the reason being that they really changed the femshep eyes a lot, and eyes tell a ton about someone's appearance.

[AresCrusader]

PC player here - my Manshep looks good enough now, thanks to the patch. Now I can finally play!

This seems to be the result when you imported your ME1 Shep into ME2 and briefly went to the customization screen. Even without changing anything, that step seems to attribute a preset face code to your custom Shepard in your ME2 saves. Since the game (ME2) uses the headmorphs after the imports, the face code is present in the save file, but without consequences to the game.

The ME3 importer looks at the files, finds the (wrong) code and uses that. Only values that are no longer available are approximated according to headmorph data.

You can check if that's the case for you by openign your ME2 squad screen and see if it displays an "identity code" for your Shepard (upper left corner).

This particular problem seems to have been solved for many PC players by using Gibbed Save Editor to delete the (wrong) face code from the ME2 save before import into ME3. The importer then looks at the (correct) headmorph data and approximates from those values. In most cases this resulted at least in a close-but-not-quite or even recognizable Shepard.

The Gibbed method can be used for xbox, too, there is a How-To here. However, I have no console and thus never used this method. I would like to ask anyone who is familiar with this method to be so kind and share their experience.

Huh really? That's very strange that's it's going to a preset Shepard and not really picking up on anything I put together for my Shepard. Thanks for the info.

[nachtstern81]

the patch seems to work somehow. But it it looks like the face in me3 seems to be "longer" than in me1 and 2? Im playing on xbox360.

I tried carrying over the appearance of my original character again.

ME1 NG+ - ME2 NG+ - ME3, hopefully.

And yet again, even after the patch, he looks completely different.

[fruton]

pffff.

Just found Mass Effect for £17.00. I'm yet to play the game and bought it for £40 on release day. thats PC price.

Xbox/PS3 is £23.95.

[mybudgee]

Ok Bioware...ALL i want is my original default Femshep Paragon Assassin, and my Renegade custom engineer Broshep. I am in school, but when I get out, I am firing up my 360 and trying them out. I have other sheps, but they are incidental. The two mentioned above are my 'canon' sheps, so you guys' reputation is pretty much riding on this patch. I *may* consider buying DLC...(I bought ALL the DLC for ME2)...if the patch works...
<_<
