my modified key bindings and gameplay settings revert to default everytime i start the game, all i have in my mydocs\\bioware\\mass effect 2\\biogame\\config folder are these:

BioPersistentEntitlementCache.ini
GamerSettings.ini
MassEffect2Config.ini

none of them contain any key/gameplay info apart from some video settings stuff in gamersettings.ini

i cant load savegames either - the 'load game' page shows nothing at all, not even my profile (imported from ME1) even though when i bring up the save menu during gameplay i can see all the saves i've been making in there?! for now i've just been using 'resume' to carry on playing, since 'load' is blank, i'm more interested in sorting the bindings problem.

any ideas?

Hm, there was a problem that involved installing on a different drive than your main one. Basically the game doesn't save correctly if the drive you install on doesn't have a My Documents folder. Does that describe your situation?



If so there's a few threads about it, I believe this is the fix:

I read the thread and tried chaning the folders to not be read only.

Why would ME2 have trouble working with the directory that it created?

I was actually refering to KevSteele's post just a little ways down the page. It seems that when your My Documents directs to a root drive instead of a directory within the drive that ME can't create certain folders within the \\\\Bioware\\\\Mass Effect dirctory. Notably the Profile folder and the ones it creates for new characters. It still creates the game saves, they just get stored aimlessly under \\\\Mass Effect 2\\\\Save instead of under the \\\\[char name]_XX_[profession name]_XXXXX folder they're supposed to go to. So the game can't associate any of your saves with a given character.



Here's what I did step-by-step.



1. Created a folder named "My Documents" under C: (I'm personally using XP, I believe for Vista you would need to name it just "Documents" and I don't know about Windows 7)



2. Redirected the "My Documents" link under the start button to the new directory. Without moving any of the old files over.



3. Started ME, logged into the EA network, and started the game.



4. As soon as all those bloody unskipable cut scenes were over, saved the game.



5. Redirected "My Documents" back to its orignal position, again without moving anything.



6. Copied and pasted the C:\\\\My Documents\\\\Bioware\\\\Mass Effect 2 folder whole cloth into the \\\\Bioware folder I had in my original My Docs drive.



I suspect that if I ever want to make another new character I'll have to do the whole dance over again.

I'm not experiencing this problem and I have the game installed on F:, My Documents on D:, and the OS on C:. That's not to say this solution won't work for you, but be prepared that it may not.
