Could someone post their GamerSettings.ini? (Documents/BioWare/Mass Effect 2/ Mass Effect 2/BIOgame/Config) is not saving my key bindings or any of my other preferences. The game can create a default file, but then seems unable to change the file.

Since it looks like I'll have to manually set up my key bindings and graphic settings, I need something to work from.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try running the game with admin rights. You shouldn't have to, but who knows, it might work.

[KevSteele]

Running as admin didn't fix it, but I found the solution: you can't have your "My Documents" directory point to a root directory (i.e., D:)



Mass Effect had this problem, and they fixed it. I can't believe they messed it up again.



If your "My Documents" folder is a drive (D:, E:, etc.) Mass Effect 2 cannot save your settings, but it does seem to allow game saves. Weird.

How can someone in his right mind use a harddrive's root for "My Documents"?!

I have a dedicated drive for my documents, D:, so no need for a folder on my OS drive.

Not so crazy, but apparently not many people do it.

Problem is that many applications expect a folder, not a drive when inquiring for the "My Documents" path. Granted, it's sloppy programming not to cover for this case, but you'll see problems with that, not only in games.
There's no harm in adding a separate directory to that drive.
Or even better: Make a virtual directory (mount point) on another drive which points to this separate drive. This is actually the best solution, since it also gets rid of that additional drive letter.

A virtual directory sounds like the best solution. I'll give it a shot.

[KevSteele]

Looked into it -- there's no good virtual directory mapping for Windows 7 that I can find. I can map a folder to a drive letter easily enough, but not the other way around.



Any suggestions? Perhaps I've overlooked something.

Try the following command on the command line:



mklink /J "PATH OF VIRTUAL FOLDER" D:



Then you have a link from PATH OF YOUR FOLDER to D:.



For example:



mklink /J C:\\Documents D:



Then the folder Documents on drive C would link to drive D.

Maybe this is solving your problem.
