@yummytwinkies Where is the save file located?
On PC the end game save file for ME1 isn't saved in with the other save files and isn't labeled as an auto-save. Instead it's saved in a file simply called "Char"; I've included an image below where the end game save files are stored on PC.
@sundance31us Thanks for a hasty response! That is very helpful info that I did not know. The files are stored in my documents on my PC, and now that you pointed it out, I do have the Char file.
I had started a new game in ME2 so it would create a save file. It was probably unnecessary, but that way, I would know that I had a folder for ME2 where save games are stored. I then pasted the Char file into that folder and relaunched the game and it still didn't work.

@sundance31usWell, I copied and pasted it, so its still in both files. I also started a new game in ME1 and then looked where the save file went, and it put it in the same folder. Idk why the launcher or the games don't recognize it.
One common suggestion when this happens is to load a previous save and defeat Saren again, let the credits run though til the end, then open LE2 and see if there's a LE1 import available.
