No I'm not getting any message at all. The controller works, but it is as I have no dlc at all. Nothing appears in game

Are you using a legitimate copy of the game?

I've got a few reports of users seeing TESTPATCH: DLC has been modified come up. I am wondering if the rumors about Mass Effect 3 1.6 are true and this file was modified in the patch, which makes this check fail.

Additionally, with this mod, Genesis 2 doesn't work, at least packaged with Mod Manager... somehow, I didn't even bother to think about this mod having a higher mount priority than genesis 2. Really bone headed on my part. I'll have to update Mod Manager to accept conditional files rather than an injection on genesis 2.

For now if you want to make this mod work with Genesis 2:
Take this fix:

Put this file into the mod's DLC_CON_XBX folder (BioP_Char.pcc) from the download above. Make sure you ahve extracted it first.
Mod Manager: Click on SP Controller Support from the list > Go to Mod Utils menu > Run AutoTOC on this mod. Then click install.

In the future I will make mod manager see genesis 2 is installed, and automatically switch the BioP_Char.pcc file for you in the DLC_CON_XBX. Looks like machine was right.

Hello,
nig fan of this mod as 90% working better then i expected.
I am havng some issues for some reason though. on two terminals (so far) the controller interface seems to drop and no inputs from either controller or keyboard or mouse work. the interface seems to have the keyboard/mouse layout as well.
the two i have encountered are the spectre terminal in the ciatdel and the war assests terminal on normandy. can't see anyone else having this issue and was wondering if i was doing something wrong?

Did you start the game from mod manager? If the DLC does not load all of those interfaces will be broken.

is not working? Or that it crashed? I know there is a bug there that makes it not work.

Go to Mod Manager > Tools > Install Binkw32 bypass.
When launching from mod manager it will now do 1 of 2 things in that black screen (maybe 3):

1. Opens and closes immediately. Game will proceed to open.
2. Opens, but eventually crashes. This is due to a bug I have in LauncherWV I haven't fixed yet
3. Opens, but never finds what it needs and gives up.

3 is caused cause binkw32 will fix it. You no longer need to launch from mod manager with binkw32 installed. I just use it because it survives an origin repair and doesn't modify files.
