Thats what I like about Steam and Valve. I've never seen 1 patch per day after release on any other platform. I would guess Bioware has already fixed this and maybe the patch is ready but it still needs the approval of Microsoft (Cause of Xbox360), Sony (Cause of PS3) and EA. This could take 1 or 2 weeks and that's what I hate about multiplatform games. I've never seen a Hotfix for a bug, regardless how horrible the bug was, 1 or 2 days after release on multiplatform games.
It's not Biowares fault, that we don't have a patch already, it's the fault that there are so many Parties involved in the patch release procedure.

Com'mon Bioware at lease give us an update on the fix.

[batman22]

Since the game came out on the 6th i have only played the MP part of the game, because i will not play the single player part untill they fix the face import issue.

[HansOlo]

Well.. learning a lot form all this for my own gaming company on how to deal with my customers . It is ok to make mistakes I guess, but then do communicate about it.

[essefar]

Hassle-free refund from the retailer - well done them.

I also posted a product review on their site and I have to say, the nastiness I'm getting in comments over there definitely hastened the game into the return envelope!

It's all left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth.

how does changing your ME1 face import in ME2 exactly help?  The ME2 import, if you choose to change your character, doesn't start with your original ME1 character as the base, you have to start from scratch...  That's what I remember...

OK. I left an angry post a while ago, but I was way too stoked to wait. I booted up ME2, took a whole bunch of photos, then spent half an hour getting it just right. The game is super duper awesome, by the way, even for a person who was a fan from the start.
So for everyone waiting for handouts, stop it. Handouts are no match for hard work. Woah, I should run for the republican nomination.

^^LOL

If a patch was ready and being pushed through the channels, they'd probably have made a statement saying so just to get us off chewing their behinds.

Doubt it's the case.

Who are we….

If we look at the numbers I don’t think it looks good for us. Out of all the people who have played the ME series, we are the ones who chose to change our Shepard’s looks. Out of those we are the ones who use features not used in ME3. Out of those we are the ones THAT CARE if we watch Clint Eastwood play Han Solo with Harrison Ford’s voice. In that, there is not many of us in the big picture. This was not an oversight, this was a calculated business gamble. Once all the Launches are over we will get a statement of why the import doesn’t work for us.

Let’s face it, we are Gamers we won’t say we are not going to play EA/BioWare games and mean it. At best I can say I will not preorder, or only buy their games used. I love to game… always have and always will. Yes I am VERY DISAPPOINTED and I have not put ME3 back in my Xbox since I got the import warning, and I don’t want to play it without my Shep but… Who are we?

I Hope I’m Wrong

Unfortunately I'm sure that's true for some, but I know for me it's not something I'm considering as a "punishment" for Bioware. It's not a threat I'm making, I'm just stating the inevitable outcome of a continued lack of support. If Bioware really shrugs this off and refuses to deliver on the promise of carrying our Shepard into this game, then I see no reason to continue supporting them. The Dragon Age series has become an affront to the fans at this point already, if Mass Effect is going to follow suit then I'll continue to support developers who deserve it and who respect their fanbase, such as CDProjekt Red.

They are saying that the developers are still looking into this, but no word how long it's going to take.

I doubt that bioware wasn't aware of this issue before launch.

Here are my two cents:
 
First off: As most of us here, I am VERY DISAPOINTED. I have 12 ME2 saves of 6 ME1 saves. My main cannon Shepards are not importing at all.
 
However, that being said, I ain’t seating and waiting. Two of my saves I started from scratch with default male/fem Sheps in ME2. Those imported without a problem. I’m doing a trial run with those two. So far I have to say it’s been awesome. Hopefully by the time I’m finish with the this two runs, they have come up with fix, and then I can start my real play through.

My femshep looks angry all the time.
Her eyes have changed too much.

I know, the new eyes look very "unfriendly." I found that no matter what other aspects of the face I changed, the eyes always seemed to kill it.

[Benchpress610]

I'm not a programmer, but I can't understand why the had to change the CC from ME2. They could've leave it the way it was and add some improvements without CHANGING IT.

As my ol pappy always said: "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"

The problem with your argument (and theirs, while we're at it) is that you don't seem to understand
 the issue at hand.

It's not a matter of laziness. Beyond the error preventing import, there is an issue with the heavily altered assets of the CC. Not only do imports and face codes result in warped versions of characters, even after much tweaking it simply isn't possible for many of them to be reproduced at all. Your ability to recreate your Shepard in 3 is based on whether or not you were lucky enough to have chosen assets that weren't removed or heavily altered between 2 and 3, particularly, in my case, facial structure. 

If it were a matter of work, I'd be playing the game. I can build the face from scratch in ME2 with no problem, the ME3 CC simply doesn't allow me to create the same face. It's out of my hands. So unless Bioware steps up and does the right thing by its fans and customers, and gives us a way to properly import our Shepard, we're screwed. That's why this thread grows by the minute, not because we're lazy and entitled, but because we're desperate and we're appealing to the guys in control for some support. We want very much to enjoy this game we paid for, if these fixes worked we'd be using them. But no "fix" posted here solves the issues with the incompatible CCs from game to game. 

If someone were to come on here and just tell us that they're going to do what is necessary to put our Shepards into ME3, not just some of them and not an unsatisfying facsimile, then this fervor would die down. Although I like many others am impatient to get to the game, It's not the time that I'm worried about, I'm much more concerned that they have yet to respond and am afraid they'll fix the error message and nothing else, and then just move on. I want to know that they aren't just going to abandon those of us who have followed and supported this franchise and this company for years now, and completely disregard the emotional investment that they've been so proud of engendering in us with their games. They create games that are personal experiences, and this should be the ultimate example of that, not a total betrayal.

I tried using this: http://social.biowar...47811/3#9249327 but the face simply isn't long enough so it looks drastically different from the one I made

Exactly.  This can't be emphasized enough.

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.

I think Bioware should at least give an ETA on the fix.  For example, is it days away?  A week?  A month?  That way, players can decide whether to wait it out for a fix, or try to make a go at recreating their Shepard.

Anyway, I'm +1 for the guide KunamiMata posted.  It recreated my male Shepard exactly!  I know the instructions look long, but it actually doesn't take long at all (maybe about ~20 minutes; the longest part is playing the intro of Mass Effect 2 to get to the part where Shepard wakes up).  Kudos for the easy to follow instructions and the tools that need to be used for it.

After going through the process above, the only things I needed to tweak were Complexion, Iris Color, Nose Shape, Hair, Beard, Hair Color, and Facial Hair Color.  All easy stuff!

It worked out perfectly for me, so if you're waiting around for a Bioware fix, the above is at least worth a shot.  You've got nothing to lose except a small amount of time.

Little update: I used this code to get my ME2 character perfect (when comparing custom appearance to imported appearnce) Then I transfered the code over and only had to change the eye brow color (in ME3 its a litte lighter). Here's

Over the years EA have been to blame for alot crappy games and alot of crappy issues in games but i think this time

Bioware are more to blame than EA, They develop the game so they know of problems before EA does. I think as bioware have gotten the taste of money they become more about making money than making the game DA2 is a perfect example

Chris won't even make a statement to try calm some people all he does is post his silly  face and expect the community to be okay with the situation


It funny they changed the forum rules before people found out about this issue
