On PC you have to open the configuration utility and manually locate the save folder. This step is not necessary in ME3.
This forum really should be updated. If you run the configuration utility on mass effect two PC (part of the trilogy) it breaks something and the game will not load. As far as i can see there has been no real solution to this issue. If the config has been run, the game needs to be completely uninstalled and reinstalled in order to make it playable. Now I'm trying to find a way to manually copy over the save files, cause if i can't continue form the first game, im returning the game.
Hi i have got that same problem do you know how i can repair it?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries
Open Mass Effect config.
Open the save games tab.
Click the "Copy Mass Effect 1 Save Games"-button.
Locate the Mass Effect 1 saves folder:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save
This is the standard folder where your Mass Effect saves are.
Click "OK".
Congrats! You just imported your saves!
I don't know about the Steam version of the game though. I prefer Steam for a lot of things, but Mass Effect is a game I'd play using Origin, not Steam.
