How To Transfer Files
Hello, I had a PC crash last Thurs. The motherboard was replaced and I upgraded to Windows 7. All of my files were backed up and I have been reloading my games. My question is how do I import...
Pop the saves into your "C:\Users\Username\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect (#)\Save" folders; they should be available in-game by choosing to load a game instead of starting a new one.
Mass Effect 1:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save
Files are in "CharacterName_###.MassEffectSave" format; not individually filed.
Mass Effect 2:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save
Each character has a file for the save files themselves; file format is "Save_###.pcsav". If ME1 files were uploaded they would be in a file called "ME1".
Mass Effect 3:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\Save
Same file setup as ME2.
Hello,
I am having trouble finding the files while in-game. I have moved the back-up files into the current game files and I am not seeing my old games.
The file says save, not saved.
Thanks again
Sounds like you still have some File directory issues.
Try creating a new character/save.
Exit Mass Effect.\
Look at the directory and file layout of your new character.
Copy files back from your backup into a parallel layout using that format.
