Unfortunately due to an issue in the Xbox, when you transfer Hard Drives you loose the ability to select those saves. The easiest solution is to load Mass Effect 2 on the old hard drive (don't install it yet you don't need it) import your character, save after character creation. And copy the save onto your new hard drive.

Not ONE DEVELOPER at BioWare thought to test this? You had TWO YEARS! to figure out the import save feature and you still screwed it up.

What the hell was the reasoning behind this "hidden save" anyway? Why couldn't you just have used the NORMAL SAVE!? Thereby eliminating all of these issues completely.

You guys seriously need someone on staff with common sense. Please hire someone now. After the debacle with Dragon Age and now this, it is quite clear that your dev team is totally out of touch with reality.

I had the same issue. As far as I can tell, there is only one solution:



1.) Put in ME1 and load up a save from the character you want to port into ME2. Pick the closest one to the end of the game that you have--it doesn't matter if it's on your first playthrough or a subsequent playthrough, though.

2.) Beat the game again. Let the credits roll and everything.

3.) Pop out ME1, pop in ME2, and it will now recognize your old save file and allow you to import it.



This worked perfectly for me, but would have seriously pissed me off if nor for the fact that I conveniently had a savegame from RIGHT before the final boss fight in ME1. Thank God for my ridiculous habit of always keeping a save file right before the end of every game I play. :-P

ok, here's my story. At first the import utility could not find my ME1 saves. So I read somewhere that when you finish the ME1 game, there should be an autosave and it should say 'Citadel Tower'. So I went to check and I didn't have that autosave even though I know I've finished the ME1 game. I'm thinking that because I played the DLC missions for ME1 right after I finished the ME1 game and the autosave I had when I finished the game got overwritten. Good thing I had a saved game where right before the final battle with Saren. So I load that up and finished the game and let the end credits roll and sure enough, a new autosave appears that says 'Citadel Tower'. So I load the ME2 and tried the import utility again and lo and behold! My ME1 character shows up. So I guess and maybe, the main thing here is you gotta have that Autosave file right after you finish the ME1 in order to be able to import. Try it!

I don't have ME1 so what the hell, I'm stuck without importing!?

Well, a solution to this instead of outright buying ME1 is renting it from Blockbuster. I would do that, but unfortunately both copies at both Blockbusters are checked out, even though they are late <_<<_<<_<<_< .

EDIT: or, you could borrow the game from somebody you know. Unfortunately for me, nobody I know has the 360 version.

I am very disappointed to say the least. I have several characters in ME1 that I finished the game with and none of them are recognized by the Import Tool. I have tried with and without ME2 installed on my hard drive.

I no longer own ME1 and none of my friends own it. So I'm stuck trying to rent where I haven't found it yet...

DAMN it, why do things have to be so difficult.

And I don't want to start a new game and hear that in a week from now their is a patch that fixes this problem...

[laertus]

I had this issue as well where ME2 would not recognize any of my saved game files. I had to put ME1 in, load up the Citadel save, fight Saren and let the credits run. Then ME2 recognized that one character file.

The sad thing is that Bioware HAD such a fantastic reputation among RPG gamers for so many years. Lately they seem to have dropped the ball both with DA:O and ME2. I don't know if this is because of their association with EA, a company which is infamously anti-customer, or if their development team is just no longer made up of gamers. They seem to be unable to think through the most obvious situations that would occur for gamers with regards to the games they make today. In conjunction with the false advertising issue raised earlier related to the Cerberus Network card it just seems like Bioware is stumbling along at a full run. I sincerely, hope that they get their act together sometime in the next decade because they have, in one short year, destroyed a decade of goodwill that they had built with me.

Does the problem also show up when you transfer all HDD data using the Microsoft Transfer Kit? I moved all my data from my old 20G drive to my new elite (and I can see the citadel autosaves that ME1 creates) - would bug the hell out of me if I suddenly can't continue my three playthroughs of ME1.

Hugo.huete GameStop and EBgames have a 7 day no questions asked return policy on used games. Buy it used, take the 20 minutes to update your saves, and return it. Not 100% on it but I think Game Crazy has a similar policy.

Gigazord I can confirm that it works when im logged into xbox live. However, if its before or during the class selection screen and it disconnects, the same 'switched profiles' error occurs.

[SplinterC]

It is disappointing that a selling feature, and one reason I first got excited about this franchise is now something I can not even do. Hell 6 mins into this with a new character since I couldn't import my last and it is already saying stuff that I didn't do from the last. Thank you for bacisly lieing to me to get me to buy this, consider this a huge slap in the face of trust

What's most appalling about this clusterfornication is that as I documented in this post, the ME2 site makes absolutely no mention of special conditions to properly import a character (or what would prevent importation), but on out-of-the-way EA support and old Bioware message boards, it is revealed that the saves MUST be on a hard drive, not a memory unit, meaning anyone who played on an Arcade X360 is hosed.

After hours of anger and frustration, I sat down to play the damn game I'd just paid for and found broken from the word go. The very first conversation scene with Jacob was marked by 95% of the shots where I suppose I was to be seen showing empty space because the camera angle didn't point to where I was standing or I wasn't placed where the camera was pointing. The when they recap what I remember, they tell me that the crew member whom I saved in ME1 was now dead and the other was alive. Great. Because of the broken (and covered-up) import tool fiasco, my choices from 40 hours of prior play are thrown aside.

I was so looking forward to ME2 and seriously considered adopting The Old Republic as my first MMORPG experience. Too bad Bioware has decided greed and being EA's butt monkey took precedance over quality assurance and honesty with their paying customers.

I actually saw that post. But I couldve sworn I had also seen something to the effect of it working if you transferred everything from the MC over to the system. At least that's what I gathered from it... which is why I bought a MC in the first place. I didnt think that they meant actually playing it on the system that youre going to be playing ME2 on.

What's this deal with the Xbox Live thing? If I make the profile that my ME1 saves on an Xbox Live account, will that solve the problem? Or are you saying something else?

[laertus]

I've gotten so frustrated with all the DLC issues and character import issues and false advertising for the CE issues that I've had to just start laughing.  In between guffaws I've also decided to just never bother with DLC, pre-order bonuses or any advertising for any Bioware or EA game ever again.  What a way to preserve future income streams EA

I can't even load my old save on my new Hard Drive from the Mass Effect 1 game. I don't even have access to my old 20GB HDD because I think I sold it on eBay or gave it to someone. Is there any way I can load my save then try to import my game?

[Stalking Z0mbie]

hey guys with multiple files have you tried using the d-pad to select the files instead of the joystick. Lolz i just did it like 30 minutes ago. I have no idea why i didn't think about it but i tried it and it worked

[AMMalena]

Not being able to load your ME1 characters is quite frustrating. I never installed ME2 to the HD, so no help there "uninstalling it" as suggested above. I saw a note about loading one of my saves in ME1 an completing it "again".... I hate this idea, but it's "just a Saren battle and then some dialogue" so.... MAYBE I'll try that... but for all 4 characters? (sigh)

*blink*  *blink*

I hate you.

This man is a genius.  I tried several things:

* Reload last autosave and beat Saren again.
* Reload last autosave, change difficulty to normal and beat Saren again.
* Reload save before autosave and beat Saren again.
* Reinstall ME1 to my hard drive (I thought it could create an error if I'd started my second playthrough, which is the one I couldn't access, from disc and later installed it to the hard drive) and beat Saren again.

Not once did I try just using the D-pad.  It hasn't been as frustrating for me because the save file at the top of my list was the one I wanted to play first and I've been able to just play that.  But it became a challenge to try and beat the whiners and say, "Hah!  If you'd just tried to figure it out before complaining, you'd have it!"  Obviously, that wouldn't have applied to everyone.  I never tried the D-pad.  Thank you.  Now I can import that character and have the beginning of the game sitting there waiting for when I finish my first playthru. 

[GreenNinja87]

I just beaat Saren again this morning to avoid this issue. I hope it'll work.

Still, it's another thing that ruins what's supposed to be a fantstic experience.

[Ardent Paladin]

I can't even access the import feature, everytime I choose to start a new game with the "Import ME1 Charater" option it goes to the loading screen for it, with the Cerberus Logo and then the Xbox freezes/locks up, does it everytime I try to import .... totally lame and a major pain.

[Hew171]

Is there going to be a fix for all of those who have beaten ME1 but do not have a saved game file at the one (and only?) location needed for the import to ME2 to work???? I have beaten the game 2-3 times and on my 4th round (no where near the end) I have several other save file but none of them are near the end. So instead of enjoying ME2, i have to finish playing through ME1 (again) to get the feature to work correctly?

Well you win bioware you already have my money.

This game is going to sit until i feel like doing ME1 all over again.



Until then, hello COD_modern warefare2

[drouse23]

I was able to get past this error by deleting the ME2 disc off my hdd and starting it off the disc. Got through the import without the error.
