[PC] How do I import my ME1 save file to ME2?

I have the Mass Effect Trilogy intalled on Origin. I have completed ME1 and I'm trying to import my ME1 Shepard to ME2. I have already tried to import it manually but it didn't work. When I boot up ME2, there's no startup screen.

    Step 3: once Scan has finnished on the left pick Save.
    Step 4: Click Copy Mass Effect 1 Save Games
    Step 5: Pick where Mass Effect 1 Saved your games default for win 7 is C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save
    Step 6: Top menu click Mass Effect 2 and click Save Settings
    Step 7: Click File and pick Exit.
    Step 8: Click Play on Laucher
    Step 9: Pick New Game
    Step 10: Import ME1

    if the list is empty you need to do it this way.

    Step 1: open your mass effect 1 save game folder default is C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save
    Step 2: Fine the .MassEffectSave file you want (Do not copy the .MassEffectProfile file.
    Step 3: open the Mass Effect 2 Save game folder and you sould see a folder called ME1 and paste the .MassEffectSave file into it default for win 7 is. C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save\ME1
    Step 4: Lauch The Game
    Step 5: Click Play on Laucher

  • Hello,

    I purchase the mass effect trilogy on Origin, and I just finished Mass effect , but when I want to import my ME1's save on ME2 , the game don't find any save, I haven't the ME2 Luncher on Origin (just Play and information about the game), and I already try to create a file with my save in the ME2 directory without succes, well I'm quite lost for the moment

  • Forget about it, I read everywhere that I have to take the "Char" save, I just test with the char save and the other (xxxshepard48.masseffectsave) and the game found it! hehe
