The old version of the mod defined controls in the basegame coalesced. This caused conflicts with other mods, so I moved it to that testpatch file you mention. Since the mod no longer modified that basegame file, and the way the new one has to remove entries from the vanilla version of the file (a game limitation), if you didn't revert on upgrading to 1.7x it would break that. I was thinking of adding a vanilla coalesced as a temporary fix but it may break other things so I didn't do it.

Good to see it is working though.

Trying to get this working, but after installing the mod, ME3 crashes when I try to launch it (it never even gets the game window initialized correctly; it basically crashes as soon as ME3 appears in the taskbar).

Help, plz?

What version of the mod, mod manager, and other mods you are using.

Mod Manager v4.2 Beta 2 MR1 build 52

I don't see a version number for the mod, but I updated it from within the Mod Manager before installing it (maybe half an hour before my last post).

Not using any other mods.

Restore your game:

Restore Menu > Restore MP DLC + Basegame

Try running the game again and let me know if it runs (without controller). That will help me figure out what's going on. If you install the mod again, send me a log: Help Menu > Copy log to clipboard > paste it here or in a PM to me.

Done that a couple of times already. Yes, it runs without the mod just fine.

I'm crashing for the night. Will tinker more tomorrow.

Just checking to see if mod manager has backed stuff up properly. Did you change GUI option for this mod or genesis 2?

Not doing anything with Genesis 2, as I'll be importing a save. By GUI option, do you mean the scaling? I'm running the game at 1920x1080, but I ran the scaling .cmd file and picked the 1920x1080 option just to be sure.

Did you run Autotoc after you didbtgat as the script said to do? If not, the file size of startup.PCC changed, and the game did notallocate enough memory for it and died at startup.

Mod utils > run Autotoc on this mod
Then apply it again.

I think I did, but I'll do it again to be sure.

[EDIT]
Looks like that did it. I'd done that on previous attempts, before I thought to check for updates to the mod from within Mod Manager, but apparently I forgot to do it after updating. Derp.

Thanks!
