ME2 Gibbed Save Editor Not Loading my Save
Hello everyone, hopefully this is the correct place to be posting this. I am attempting to skip playing the first game, because I already played it and don't have my save game data anywhere. I heard about Gibbed Save Editor and decided to give it a try. I filled out all the things I am supposed to fill out on the save editor (as far as I know) but when I try to "import a mass effect 2" Profile and try click load game nothing happens. No error or anything.
Here is an image of what I mean.
So in an attempt to make it so you guys don't have ask a bunch of questions here are my settings in Gibbed Save Editor for ME2. I will post the tabs it is under above the image.
Player/Basic
Plot/Player/Flags
Plot/Mass Effect 1/Flags 1
Plot/Mass Effect 1/Flags 2
Plot/Mass Effect 1/Flags 3
Plot/Mass Effect 1/Flags 4
(sorry about the four flags sections I was not able to expand gibbed so i had to do multiple parts)
Plot/Mass Effect 1/Values
This is the "End Game State" I heard you had to change it or else you would not be able to open the save.
Raw/End Game State
Last one, this is what it is save as and where the game is trying to import my save data to my next game.
Documents/Bioware/Mass Effect 2/Save/ (character name)
Ok that's it! Sorry that is a lot but wanted to have all my bases covered. Probably to much. Thanks for the help in advance!
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.
