I just tried to run ME3 with the injector, I've used the Injector before in skyrim with no issues. Anyway, I started up ME3 and it wouldn't work, so I disable origin in game as instructed, I then tried again. This time it started, but I only heard the very first sound of the intro video, then the game crashed again popping up a "MassEffect3.exe has stopped working" message. I tried running with Admin but that doesn't work either.

I removed the injector files and it worked again. So the problems the injector.

Any idea's?

Edit:
log.log shows this

redirecting CreateDevice


It does say that the injector is only compatiable with dx9. It could be that I've some how run ME3 in DX10 or DX11.

Mass Effect 3 doesn't support anything but DX9.

Sadly there are lots of low resolution things like that all over the game. The Citadel in particular. Ever notice the plastic looking crowd outside Purgatory? Over the railing on the right as you walk to the door you'll see a bunch of horrendous low resolution garbage. Now that I mention it, I may have to take a look at fixing that in a day or to. The good thing is you don't typically notice it as you don't generally look over there.

BioWare really could have done more for the PC version. I understand concessions made for 5+ year old consoles but even mid-range PC's are having no trouble running this game with the mods we are making. I'd bet that doing this through Texmod probably creates some additional overhead as well which impacts performance slightly.

Their excuse was unified development but the fact is that implementing higher resolution textures would have been easy as hell. Many if not all the game's assets have high poly, high resolution versions. It would have been a simple matter to process these textures into three different resolutions from that and add a menu setting for low, medium and high resolution textures. Just stuff them all in a folder and let us choose what level of performance we can handle.

At the very least they could have allowed us the ability to replace the in-game textures permenently with our own by copying our own into a specific folder, changing an .ini file or something. But no..........

Remember the tweet when they said that they would have high-res textures at launch just 1 month before said launch?

Yeah.. no one does.

They did high-res textures for DA2 *and* DX11 elements additions and that wasen't even half as sucessful or as widely renouned as ME . I've no idea why we don't have this yet, or didn't have it @ launch like DA2.. it's incrediably fustrating.

No one's particularly vocal about it, I doubt they'll bother at this point. <_<

Since alot of people think that the photoshop of Tali is not the best that could be done, another one was made by Unicron9 at deviant art.
http://unicron9.devi...photo-290517239
Not sure if someone else has already done this, but I made a texmod to replace the default photo with Unicron9's edit.
This is the first texmod I have ever made so nothing drastic going on here.

 Hello

I have problem with alternative background for menu,
it's too small and i can see left edge of the picture, can I
resize it somehow ?

Also(maybe it will help
someone) my game kept crashing when i tried to launch it with all mods. I found
out that the problem was two of them:

-Male Shepard N7 Default Armor + Helmet in High
Resolution 4096x4096 (both with blood and without it)

-Leather Jacket Casual Outfit High Resolution

After removing those game start normally.
cheers

Should we start guessing what resolution you're running the game? Some info would be appreciated.

I don't have your problem. The games runs perfectly with all mods loaded, including the two mods you listed.

The background resolution runs fine, I have tested this on 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1080, and 2560 x 1600 resolutions. 

Please list your system specifications.

The Male Shepard N7 Default armor + Helment in high resolution with and without blood? Are you running them both at the same time or one at a time? If you are running both simultaneously I'd expect problems as these are in conflict.

Hey, 

Regarding the leather jacket, I put it after everything else, so try putting it last in the list. 

Hope that helps!

I meant that I tried both version, but not simultaneously.
I thought it was obvious, sorry I will try to write more clearly next time.

I'm doing
my own background so problem solved

Greviousian1
I tried it,
but it didn't work. I'm not using default armor anyway so I can live with
that.

Thanks for trying to help.
cheers

The MOD for menu background, was created to 1080p or inferior if you use it in more of that, you'll see the edges of the previous background..

I will create a version "OPTIMIZED 2" for default armor MOD, will serve people with performance issues.

I followed all of Option One when trying to get Origin to open up Texmod and all that happens is that it runs ME3. I followed the instructions to the letter, what am I doing wrong?

That's why I don't use the menu background. It won't scale properly to 2560x1600.

Updated N7 Defender armor is almost done. Took me a lot of time but I've got almost the whole damned thing redone. Very little of the original texture remains in this version.It is also an optimized texture in the .DDS format.

This is only the second texmod I have done, so once again nothing that complicated.

This replaces the default purple outfit for Tali in ME3 with her grey and gold "loyalty" outfit from ME2.

Here is where I'm at on the N7 Defender armor: 








I created new textures, made a new carbon fiber pattern basically from scratch, then edited the texture. I then created a new light map for it. I pretty much discarded the old one. I'm still having issues with the normal maps though. So this is actually the new textures with the stock 512x512 normal map. The one InBleedingRapture created for the old versions looked good, but it no longer does given the texture is completely different now. So I'm still messing with the normal map.

The last two screenshots (in the in-game armory), your Mod looks really good.  There also seems to be a green hue to your Mod as well.  Was that intentional or is it just me?

The N7 Defender is actually green. (Well more or less. It has a blue or a grey tint to it as well.) It is supposed to have a green tint and the stock texture will depending on the lighting in a given area, but mine isn't quite the same green. I've been tuning it to match the original texture a bit more, but it is very difficult to do.

Ahh, very good then.  I prefer the mods where it just a higher res version of the stock that was in the game vs. a mod that takes too many liberities.  Changing a texture or mesh here or there is ok, but your Mod looks very promising.  Keep up the good work.

There, that should be better.




The problem is that some of these textures are so badly degraded do to being scaled down to such a low resolution when BioWare released the game, you have little choice but to rebuild / recreate parts of the textures from scratch. You just can't simply upconvert the images to a higher resolution and go on with it. Your just using more pixels to display the same garbage data and taking a small performance hit for doing it.

I try not to take too much artistic license with any of the mods I do. The problem is that it is difficult to replicate colors when making a texture asset from scratch. In fact this texture is almost entirely new. The carbon fiber pattern was created from a pattern file, sized appropriately, then blended with a metal texture, and then tuned to match the original texture coloring as closely as possible. Up conversion of the original left the carbon fiber pattern somewhat fuzzy. Even when displayed in the targa (.TGA) format which is essentially lossless. I rip the textures from the game using Texmod in that format for that reason. But converting this texture into another format shows marked degredation without rebuilding that carbon fiber texture, which is what I ended up doing. Again I do try to replicate the original look of the texture, but I have to replace parts of the texture due to those areas being so degraded.

Some of what your seeing isn't just artistic license, but rather things you couldn't see before due to the low resolution / poor condition of the stock texture. For example, the stripes that follow the depressed area of the chest piece were always there. You just couldn't see them before because it was a pixelated mess. When the texture is upscaled to 4096x4096 and then viewed, they are clearly visible, but they look horrible. So they had to be redrawn by hand. You are also seeing the texture with the stock normal map and not one for this texture. With a good normal map based on the new texture, it will appear darker than it does now.

One more thing, this texture is by far one of the most difficult to work with in the entire game. It's one of the most detailed, but so much of it is damaged due to the reduction in resolution BioWare did originally. It's a very dark texture as well making some parts of it extremely difficult to see.
