how long does it take to make a patch to fix it???

Not sure how long it'll take to develop, but on PC I think patches come out fairly soon after the developer finishes them. On the consoles, they have to go through Microsoft and Sony's draconian update approval BS, which in my experience can take up to another week.

[sixthnewkid]

Just came to check in and see if my broken game i purchased is going to be fixed. Looks like bioware still doesn't care about its loyal customers since they cant even update the original post. Thanks again for corporate greed!

I bought a flash drive and jumped through damn hoops all morning to convert my 360 saves to PC, but once I had, I could use the tool from the first post same as PC players can. It worked great and now I have my Shepard in the third game. She looks a little different, but in that same way that everyone in this silly game does now. The art changed a little, but she is definitely my Shepard now. Pretty happy I didn't bother waiting for BioWare to fix this.

Did you follow a guide to do this? You got a link for people who want to try this?

Not really. I kind of went with a mishmash of things I found and trial and errored them until I found something that worked.

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.

This method was really easy. Thank you so much for posting this! xoxo
I would suggest this method to everyone, It replicated my shepard perfectly into ME3. I have no doubts that the code given was not my shepard.

Well this is pretty sad, spent perhaps closer to 200h with my own character and when the wait for ME3 is finally over I cant import my face. Tried to recreate it in ME3 but there is always something small that isnt as it used to be so i cant play until the fix gets released or until I manage to create a exact clone of my old Shep. You think it something like this would have got someones attention during the development. :/

[Spruso]

What just got me is, that even if you could manage to recreate the facial features (which you can not....those eyes give me sleepless nights, they're really spooky), she will not look the same, as the facial makeup (mascara and eyeshadow) is extremely lightly applied. This means, she will always look some sort of plain compared to the quite heavily applied makeup in the two previous installements.

SO, BW, NOT ONLY FIX THIS, BUT ALSO ADD BACK OUR OLD OPTIONS. Or at least import the face as is, including textures and meshes as you did in ME2. This can not be that difficult, given the fact, that we are still on the same engine!

[HansOlo]

Also a victim here... waiting for the patch! Haven't started my vampire like fem shepard at the launch of ME1 for nothing. !

[Brad-Rock]

CANT BELIEVE THIS, THEY PASSED OUT A VERY ESENTIAL THING...IMPORT YOUR CHARACTER.... HOPE THE FIX COMES SOON....

[TrueHD]

BioWare are cowards. What has the company become? No wonder what's her name jumped ship.

They need to admit that they made a terrible decision.

All of your Shepard's facial animations would be affected by changing the facial model to a different one. It's very difficult to replace. Which is why we're guessing they're not actually going to fix it.

I hope you're wrong, but you seem to know a lot about this stuff. I can't freaking believe this. Why, Bioware?!

[1upD]

 I found a fairly simple fix, and now I'm wishing I hadn't.

I started up ME2, played through the intro, then imported my ME1 character. Instead of pressing 'accept imported face' I started up the custom face, made some adjustments, then went back and looked at my ME1 character, changing it and rechecking until they were an exact match. I copied the face code down, booted up ME3, and put my code in.

I was elated when the code actually works, and then speechless when I saw my creation. It's the same one, all right. Yet it just looks so....hideous. I had to change the eye and hair color, no big deal, but.... the whole shape of the face and nose are different under the new system. It just doesn't work. I almost wonder if Bioware threw in this 'glitch' intentionally to save people the disappointment of seeing themselves defaced like this. I've tried to fix it up, but I'm finding that the new face I made in ME3's editor looks much better. Oh well. I'll probably use the "imported" face anyway just for some semblence of consistency.

[fohringer0]

it's working for me
barely even notice a difference

here's my facecode if someone want's to have a look
751.11M.IL1.F7D.GJC.1FK.DDK.281.711.4C5.236.172

[TrueHD]

I guess I can only speak for my character, but the face codes are completely useless because someone thought it was a good idea to remove old assets and use completely new ones.

Alltough allmost got remake right, i was pretty shocked that import didn't work after in ME2 it worked just fine..

I hope we can get patch and that it's going to be made so that we can edit our current savegames too and replace the remake with import.

 Oh well..

Hopefully someone from Bioware is keeping track of this thread... there've been some ideas thrown around that could help the programmers sort things out. And, on that note, I have three new[ish] suggestions I'd like to put out there:

1) One of the most glaring differences between ME2 and ME3 is the eyes - if Bioware were to add the original shapes and colors from ME2 back into the game, that would go a long way towards making it easier to make acceptable recreations of our characters. Along with this, though, it'd be great if they would also add the missing hair colors back in, even if they skip adding all of the hair styles. This isn't an ideal solution, as it likely would not allow for exact matches for some characters, but it would enable us to get much closer than we can currently, and, because it involves only adding a limited number of assets, it should be -somewhat- simple to do within a reasonable timeframe - I'd guess three weeks, tops, including time spent going through certification.

2) This is basically the same as 1, except it would involve recreating ALL of the assets that were present in ME2, and were either changed for ME3, or not carried over at all. This would be a better option, as it would allow almost all characters to be recreated accurately... the problem is just that it would probably take a while.

3) This is actually my ideal solution, but, unfortunately, I have no idea how complex it could be to implement. I honestly don't care about even being able to use the ME3 character creator; I just want to be able to import my characters as they are. Would it be possible, then, to bypass the CC completely, and just directly import the face morph - directly copy over all of the geometry, textures, etcetera? That's the way it worked for ME1 to ME2, isn't it? The only reason I can think of that could cause problems for this is that, if I've heard right, ME3 has more complex facial animations... which might not match up with a face from ME2. If that is the case, though, I have to wonder - ignoring animations for a second, is it at all possible to import the face morph correctly? Can the game display it? And if so... would it then be possible to have a second set of animations, that would be used for a face imported this way? Especially since I imagine they're all built around manipulating a framework, a skeleton, that all of the meshes and textures are applied on top of - would it be possible to just create a modified skeleton, so the animations match up? Even if they wouldn't look perfect, if it can be done primarily by just modifying a base skeleton like that, that should decrease the amount of work that would need to be done considerably, compared to having to attempt to redo every animation individually.


Now, again, I don't know if you guys will even read this, and, frankly, I don't know if this is any help - my programming experience is limited to a couple college classes and some basic modding in Oblivion and Fallout: New Vegas, so, these are primarily just educated guesses on my part... even so, though, I can't help but think at least one of these options should work. Granted, even with me trying to find the simplest possible solution, it'll still require a fair bit of work... I'm hoping you guys are willing to accept that, though! You issued an official apology over Mass Effect: Deception, after all - I've NEVER heard of a company doing something like that before. The fact that you did suggests to me that you do at least care a bit about what your fans think... so just think how happy you would make them by implementing a solution like this!

...Also, on a darker note, if the higher ups need some extra persuasion: If you need to pull people away from working on DLC or other projects to do this, DO IT. Because, well... if so many people aren't even playing the game AT ALL because of this... somehow, I don't think those people will be buying any DLC, either; not until this problem with the main game is fixed first.
