I got it working! I would turn on Enable Change Options and reapply the mod, which would allow me to go into the options menu. However, if I changed any of the options, the game would crash as soon as I tried to back out of the menu. What finally worked was uninstalling the mod, enabling mouse inversion in the normal game, and then reapplying the mod. This way, the Y axis was inverted without me having to change anything in the options and triggering the crash.

The game shouldn't crash... We're you able to use the left stick in the menus during that session?

I don't remember on that particular session, but I just went back and tried reverting the settings to how they were before I started messing with them to see if I could make it crash again. I was able to change the options around as much as I wanted with no crashes. So, all's well I guess.

Hello, first of all, thanks a lot for the mod, I just bought the game only for the multiplayer, and having hundred of hours on the x360 version, I'm really accustomed to using a controller. I have a question: since installing the mod, I can't use the keyboard+mouse to play, is there a way for them to be available with this patch or do I have to unninstall the mod? If so, do I just need to restore the DLCs?

The way the game engine is designed it doesn't really work with both (and not at all in the GUIs). To uninstall use restore > Restore MP DLC SFARs + Basegame.

Hello.

So I'm looking around for ways to fix this but currently haven't found much. I have applied the mo controller support using the mod manager and when I load the game under Mass Effect 3 it sais MP controller support.

However the issue lie when I load the game it said the Reckoning dlc is not properly installed or something. When I go to origin and repair game, repair dlc, update dlc, etc. Not only that, but the controller works in the title screen where I can select "new Game, Load Game, Multiplayer", but once I hit multiplayer and my character loads the controller no longer functions and nether does the keyboard, the mouse moves along but I can't select anything. I am unable to play MP with a controller so far.

Any ideas?

So the message about Reckoning dlc is how it was downloaded by an account which didn't purchase it, but it's a free dlc. I don't understand.

You must run the game through mod manager's start game button or use a permanent dlc bypas (tools menu). Your dlc is modified, and the entitlement on the server doesn't say you are entitled to the modified dlc.

I don't understand how it is modified but how can I unmodify it? I have tried restoring the dlc through the mm and origin.
