If you install the genesis 2 fix without the DLC installed the game won't work. It says so in the genesis 2 description when you run that file. You need to get the original biop_char.pcc file that the mod comes with.

http://me3tweaks.com/mods/updates/360_c ... P_Char.pcc

Replace the mod folders DLC_CON_XBX/CookedPCConsole/BioP_Char.pcc with that and then reinstall the mod. Or buy the genesis 2 DLC.

@ Keffy I looked into the Atlas HUD. Not sure for I fixed it the first time, but I will have to replace it in every file it comes up in. I will need to do a mod manager update so it can accept compressed files as uncompressed uses loads of bandwidth.

It looks like the game is running in 4:3 mode. I've seen this mod change graphics settings for no reason like that. Exit the game, and run the Mass Effect 3 Config utility.

Mass Effect 3\Binaries\MassEffect3Config.exe (if you can't find this, look one folder above the path listed in the mod manager biogame directory field)

Change your graphics to your monitor aspect ratio and resolution and then click the menu and hit save settings (not sure which button off the top of my head). Then start the game again and let me know if it works for you.

It has to do with how moonshine prevented the options menu from crashing, the PC version of the settings can save more settings, but it crashes cause it doesn't support controller bindings (which some are automatically binded). So he made it use the console versions (a less feature filled options menu) which worked, but you can't change resolutions on console, and it seems to sometimes set the graphics anyways.

I'm going to be working on this mod this weekend. I've set up a new build process that will increase the speed of building the mod. I've been isolating areas of the game that have timers, progress bars, and other GUI elements. As well as all files that contain the ATLAS HUD. It will be a sizable update.

I am having some issues with the timer in the omega part of disarming the bombs through. It uses a special interface but does not seem to move. On 16:9 this is fine but 16:10 is cutoff.

Hi, i have a problem with the scaling, i'm play on a monitor 16:10 1680x1050, i have the last version of the mod.
my graphics settings are locked on 800x600 and i cant change them because they return automatically on 800x600 at each launch. i try change graphics setting on me3 configurator, but it doesnt change.

Just for info: I dont have this pb with the MP version of the mod

You need to send me a full resolution screenshot. The settings shown in the game aren't correct because Xbox doesn't have graphics settings for resolution. And for this mod to be able to save *some* settings, it had to use Xbox instead of pc settings. I just haven't changed the menu.
