(Bah!Working on formatting this to look better)
 
Trying to get a main thread of fixes going for the PC version of Mass Effect 2.  (If you have something that hasn't been added, please post, or PM) 

(Thanks go out to : kznlol  Who suggested the Notepad++ fix!) 
(Thanks go out to : SpideyKnight   for correct paths)
(Thanks go out to : syklonis01   for the depth of field fix! And thank you Kasumimi for the tip!)



Mouse Sensitivity Issues : 

The mouse sensitivity by default seems to be set very high, with no way to turn it down in game. The steps below should help you fix the problem.

First you'll need to download and install Notepad++ (found here  ( Click on : Download Notepad++ executable files ) ) Without that program, you'll only mess up your .ini files, which will result in the game no longer starting. 

After the default installation of Notepad ++, find your Coalesced.ini file at the location :  (NOTE : Make a BACKUP of that file in case you screw it up!!!!!)

• C:-->Program Files-->Mass Effect 2-->BioGame-->Config-->PC-->Cooked  
  
• (C: -> games -> Mass effect 2 on vista and win7)

Right click, and open with Notepad++  (if you don't see this context menu option, then simply open up Notepad++ manually from your start menu, and point to the file you would like to open).

Using the top menu bar you can go to Search, and then Find  (or simply press Ctrl+F anywhere in the document) to open up the search window. In the box next to "Find what :" paste in  : MouseSensitivity  

Press enter, and change the value to something like 0.4

Save the file, and try to start your game. If your game starts up, then you can simply edit that value until it suits your needs. If you game's .exe crashes, then you either were not editing it with the correct program, or changed the value of something that you were not supposed to. If that is the case, delete the bad file, and replace it with your clean backup copy. 

 
 
 
Removing the Non-Skippable Intro Movies : 
 
In order to disable the startup logo movies, simply navigate to your Movies folder located at : 
 

• C:-->Program Files-->Mass Effect 2-->BioGame-->Movies  
  
• (C: -> games -> Mass effect 2 on vista and win7)  

Find the movies : 

• BWLogo.bik    
  
• ME_EAsig_720p_v2_raw.bik 

 
Rename them to : 

• BWLogo.bik.old    
  
• ME_EAsig_720p_v2_raw.bik.old 

 
This will allow you to go straight to the 'Press Button To Continue' screen. 
 
 
 
 
How To Recover Your Coalesced :
 
If you've messed up your Coalesced.ini file, the game will not start. You can grab a clean version of it from the second Mass Effect disc.
 
Insert the second disc into your drive, cancel or ignore all auto prompts that may pop up on your screen. 
 
Open MyComputer, Right Click on the disk icon, and choose Explore.
 
Navigate to the data folder, and Double Click on the data01.rar  
 
From there you can find it at  :  data01.rar-->BioGame-->Config-->PC-->Cooked
 
Either drag and drop the file out to a new directory, or extract the folder structure.

If you really mess it up I have posted a default ini file here : http://www.box.net/shared/ky2y2fm7f0



 
 
Problem With Super Dark Shadows :  (This is a preference fix, and is not intended for everyone. To judge please see screen shot : g.imagehost.org/0926/dof.jpg  )
 
As always make a backup of the file you are manipulating, and please use Notepad++
 
 
Find your GamerSettings.ini file at
 
C: --> Users --> yourname --> Documents --> BioWare --> Mass Effect 2 --> BIOGame --> Config
 
or
 
C: --> Documents and Settings --> yourname --> My Documents --> BioWare --> Mass Effect 2 --> BIOGame --> Config
 
Under the header of : [systemsettings]
 
Add in the value :  DepthOfField=False
 
So now it should look something like :
 

• [SystemSettings]
  
• Resolution=_1920x1200
  
• ResX=1920
  
• ResY=1200
  
• DisableAudio=False
  
• QualityBloom=True
  
• FilmGrain=False
  
• MotionBlur=False
  
• DynamicShadows=True
  
• LightEnvironmentShadows=True
  
• MaxCharacterCinematicLightingPasses=3
  
• EnableLightEnvSHLights=True
  
• MaxAnisotropy=4
  
• BorderlessWindow=False
  
• Fullscreen=True
  
• DepthOfField=False

 Of course all the other values around DepthOfField will be set to your own computer's settings!
 
 
 
 
Possible Resolution Configuration For Non Default Values : ( Note : This needs testing. I can get it to work on my machine to some extent, but it seems hit and miss with others)
 
You will need to use Notepad++  to open - edit, and save the document.

PLEASE make a backup of the document before you start editing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find the file : GamerSettings.ini  

Mine is located in    MyDocuments --> Bioware --> Mass Effect 2 --> BIOGame --> Config

Open it up, and you should see a few lines like : 




[SystemSettings]
Resolution=_????x????
ResX=????
ResY=????[/list](Where ??? is a value)

Change it so that it looks like : 



[SystemSettings]
Resolution=_640x480
ResX=640
ResY=480
[/list]Save, and start the game.
 
Feedback wanted.
 
 
 
 
Solution for Lag / Sound Issues : *Not Verified as of Yet*
 
Work in progress. There are a few values I'm looking at, but it seems like due to the individual nature of this issue, an actual patch will have to be administered.

do you know how to fix that bug that causes the characters you interact with not to randomly skip upon speech? I searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone else that has ran into this problem. I just want it fixed so i can play through the game in peace

[SpideyKnight]

 It'll be under C: -> games -> Mass effect 2 on vista and win7.

[SpideyKnight]

Oh not sure if you want to list issues here, but even with all the DLC your screen will still say there's new content. I assume this is because, depending on where you ordered from, you are missing either the inferno armor or the terminus armor and blackstorm weapon. I have the inferno armor and my boy Matt has the terminus pack and both of us still have the "New Content Available" on the starting screen.

[Lyphen]

So uh, any way to recover the Coalesced.ini file through Steam? ><

I will add this in a glitches section

Thank you sir! Added.

[Rednalor]

Thanks for the fix! Also highly recommend backing up original Coalesced.ini, as my game crashed after my first try editing it.

[pyide]

You can disable the mouse smoothing by changing bEnableMouseSmoothing=true to false, as long as you remove a character from another entry so the character count of the file stays the same. I deleted one of the extra 0's from doubleclicktime right above that and the game loads without crashing.

Turning mouse smoothing off feels so much better. Normal like it should.

Thanks for the info. I will do another update when I wake up. You shall be thanked!

[spacetimeflux]

much better now... so disappointed in this, but not surprised. Bioshock was the last time I had to deal with this and it really wasted a lot of my time and tarnished my enjoyment of that game.



digg this up,, maybe it will get enough attention to at least make a point....

[KroganRogue]

so is there any work around for the dialog cut off bug?

[NewZealand]

Found any way to lower the resolution to 640 x 480?

[pyide]

There's still some strange negative acceleration happening. When you move your mouse quickly, the camera / view actually turns slower or stops sooner than you would expect. Conversely when you move it slowly it seems to spin faster which makes no sense at all.



Anyone know how to fix that crap?

[Essvee]

When I leftclick to fire my pistol, my camera jerks pretty wildly upward. If I fire, say, five times in a row, by shot number five my gun is pointing at the ceiling.



I'm using a Microsoft Intellipoint mouse that works fine in everything else I own. Tried turning mouse smoothing off and the scroll down to 0.3. Any idea what could be causing this?

@ Garbagedonkey.. i went for your advice and did the editing for the mosue sensitivity.. may problem after editing I cant save it .. a vista pop up window keeps saying plase file may be opened in another program.... which is not the case ..no other programs opened pertaining to the same file to be edited ...dont know what else to do ...also tried it with pyide 's suggestion same result cant save file.

[robevans89]

@essvee probably just normal gun recoil, it's far more noticeable in me2 than me1

It can't be normal recoil, the game is unplayable. I can't hit anything.

[xWeamDreaverx]

Anyone found how to open the console?

[DevilHakoten]

Thank you so much for this. I could hardly play the class-type I wanted because I kept overshooting my enemies with the mouse.

[cptlee]

Mouse sensitivity now playable and movies skipped! Great success. Thanks so much for posting this. BioWare should really sticky this thread...

[hollseed]

I have uncompareably annoyable problem with the mouse. In the menu it's works fine. but in actual game it does nothing at all. the buttons are working but it's not rotate the camera nowhere and i can't choose an option in dialogues only the first one. This is outrageous. I waited months for this game and now this. If anyone have a solution for this that would be great to share us.

[DevilHakoten]

Now... Is there a way to speed up the scanner cursor speed? I understand the thought behind it, but it's just too slow. It makes me not want to scan.
