Re: ME2 Gibbed Save Editor Not Loading my Save

Hi @ShreksSwamp117

One thing before the others, in your "Plot/Mass Effect 1/Flags 1" screenshot you have "Citadel: Old Friends Met Finch" checked, that quest is only available if Shep is Earth born and that is not the case for your character.   

Uncheck "Citadel: Old Friends Met Finch", save the file again and test. (Maybe that alone was responsible for corrupting the save file.)

If that not helps, here is a step by step guide to import a ME2 Character back to ME2 for your Character. 

- Play the intro

- Create a new Shepard, set all the Character features as you want them in your new game, you also can customise her/him, but name the Shepard "Test". (without the quotes)

- Save the game directly after Miranda wakes you. > shutdown ME2

- Go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save" folder > create a folder named "Talin_21_Soldier_070916"  (without the quotes) 

- Open the "Save_0001.pcsav" from the  "Test_21_ Soldier_XXXXXX" Folder in the Save Editor.

- Under "Plot" > "Player" make sure "Played Mass Effect 1" is selected. (Don't change anything else in the ME2 plot table.) 

- Change the ME1 Plot table as you like, but don't select conflicting content. 

- Change the Character name to Talin, and the "End Game State" to "Lived to fight again"   

- Save the file as "Save_0001.pcsav" (without the quotes)  to the "Talin_21_Soldier_070916" folder

- Fire UP ME2 > in the main menu >  New Game > import ME2 Character.

Now it should work. If you still have problems, please let me know.
