Fix Textures for Garrus

Ive been reading online about a fix going into 'BIOEngine.ini' etc but as I bought the Trilogy pack for the PC, there are no files with that name heading and I would like to fix this asap. The only Config folder I can find is in 'BioGame' folder and I open that and there is no BioEngine folder only a lot of 'Default' folders.

    Hope this helps


    From the Wiki page:

    PC Tweaks

    • On Windows XP/2000: %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\%Username%\My Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Config
    • On Windows Vista/7: %SystemDrive%\Users\%Username%\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Config

    (%SystemDrive% will be replaced with the drive letter where your Windows system is installed on following a colon, and %Username% with the current user that you are logged into the system with.)

    Notes

    • Files location: The Mass Effect game will read the files inside the Config folder. If it fails to do so, or if the files have incorrect data, the game will read the default config files that are located in the folder where you installed your game. By default they are located at 'X:\Program Files\Mass Effect\BioGame\Config'. Those files will be prefixed with the word Default (to avoid editing them by mistake).
    • Backup your files: To ensure that your gaming experience will not be damaged, make sure to back up every file that you are about to change. A good way to do this is to copy the Mass Effect or Config folder to a safe place. Alternatively, you can archive the folder to avoid confusion.
    • Game Patches: BioWare have released two patches that fix various issues. Installation of a patch will overwrite changes made to the configuration files, and update their version (indicated at the bottom of each file).
