Re: Mass Effect 3 SP Controller Support

Hi,

Is there any way to enable keyboard input? (may be at the beginning of the game for just 30 secs?) I want to log in to my EA account but after pressing Y, nothing on keyboard works :(

Or at least can somebody tell me how to disable the mod. I cut and pasted the corresponding CON DLC folders outside of the folder but it kept working.

Using latest (0.74 I believe, had an update yesterday via mod manager) with EGM compatibility patch.

Thank you

You need to also restore basegame and testpatch, through the custom restore window.

You mean the login screen before the main menu is ready right? I may be able to fix that... Maybe.

Yup that screen :)

I'll give your suggestion a try but seeing I'd have to do so much puts me off TBH.

Please post a screenshot.
Look at the sentences on the top screen and the popup on the last.

With your mod:

On vanilla:

Your mod is on 800.600. All the time. Changing IG graphics settings or under windows with ME3config.exe.
I tried everything. If you see something I didn't...

Hey man. Posting in regards to the 1920x1200 text scaling solution for Mass Effect 3. I'm ready to go whenever you are.

In my case the problem is not the text scaling, but the entire game resolution ^_^ The mod doesn't care at all of the graphic settings in and outside the game.

Your images you sent me are 1080p which means it is using the correct resolution. As I said, everything is scaled up like it is supposed to be. The text in vanilla is not scaled properly, I have fixed that. Reading font size 22 at 1080p from 15 feet is impossible, and at 4K it's nearly impossible at 3. The majority of users who use this mod want to do so on a TV (like a console) and that's how it is designed. There is no way to turn off scaling and use the controller.

@keffy I have a post about how to generate things with this post:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5&start=20#p71

If you get it working or get stuck please let me know. I can add it to the mod. You can use this to scale the font sizes down as well if you want but I try to keep them scaling up properly.

Thanks Mgamerz, I'll let you know when i get it working and share the results. Is there any way to scale down the HUD slightly? like the power wheel and health bars. The enemy's health bar seems too close to the top of the screen. Is there any way to adjust this? Thanks for your help brother.

*Edit

Dude i'm having a whole world of trouble with this. I think i'll let you handle this one. I'd love to know if i can make the HUD smaller as well. Cheers.

You can move elements but its all or nothing for scaling. I don't have a 1980x1200 monitor so unfortunately I can't test anything.

If you have the time and patience i'd be happy to test configurations for you. I'd be happy with a playable UI at the moment. Rescaling to 1680x1050 fixed the text but the weapon hud and enemy health bar are almost off screen.
