What the hell I can't find the file for the FOV fix at all. Or the folder to put it rather. Using windows 7 and I can't find anything in my Origin folder. Nothing under my documents/bioware/masseffect3/biogame. Maybe its just late but I feel completely stupid for not understanding the instructions for the fix at all.

Mass Effect 3 PC Thread: Fixing Bioware's broke-ass console port, now with holstering
- Thread starter BoobPhysics101
- Start date
is this same as ME 1 and 2 FOV?Again, really appreciate the work, boobphysics.
medium FOV
Are you looking in your 'Origin' folder or 'Origin Games' folder?
Should be Origin Games>Mass Effect 3>BIOgame>CookedPConsole.
Yes, I'd say so. In the fov file provided in the OP, it's FOV 90, I believe.

I have a 570GTX and any of the inspector configs posted here worked (the mass effect 3 mode ones in inspector)
So I used the simple one I used with Mass Effect 2 and works wonders.
I dont have time to post it now, but when i arrive home I will do a shot to people that have problems with the ones already posted.

Thats why I'm confused. My Origin Games folder is empty? what the hell lol. I was just playing the game. Google isn't helping me out either. Oh well I'll give it another shot tomorrow.

I added this to the OP: After using Xpadder, Go into the game options menu, go to Mouse, then turn off Mouse Dampening! Then set sensitivity to 30-35%! This makes a HUGE difference in responsiveness.

I'm more concerned about lack of High res textures or setup FOV. I think this should be a priority on PC version. Gamepad support woud be nice, but not necessary.

So they'll probably be too busy working on post-launch DLC and Dragon Age 3 to patch it in later, because they're fucking lazy and cheap.

No it's not. This type of AAA game with a big budget has some loose ends. It's not some defacto game void of crap regardless of reviews or previous installments. That goes for the technical issues as well.
Broken-ass sounds like non-functional, a total mess, etc. to me.
I am not saying the issues are not void, they totally are, but let's differentiate from a real broken-ass game and a sloppy port.

You're right. I'm bitter over pad support really. I am avoiding the threads right now except maybe peeking into the review thread.
I guess it feels sort of 3/4 of the effort on PC with some of these things. And the sadder part is Bioware was once a prominent AAA PC dev too. They've sort of forgot how to cater to the market that made them in their earlier days.
Didn't you only have 16 not a few months back? At least you can run every Windows release on top of each other while running 6 games and still not use half of that!
Why the fuck do you need 24GB of ram?
I thought 8gb was just good enough, but 24gb??deargod.jpg
OP awesome thread. Will book mark this for when I pick this game up for 19.99 on PC.
I bought this for 360, even though my PC can smoke the shit out of this game. No 360 pad support, figured fuck it I rather sit on my couch and play on TV. It's just one of those games I don't want to use mouse/kb for (and there are not many). Good call Bioware still got my 59.99 you lazy bastards

Ayup. It's actually shocking how good the 360 version looks. They twinked the hell out of the engine from ME2 -> ME3. I'm pleased with the game, except I had to go back and spend 30 minutes re-completing my ME2 ending so it would import correctly.
Ya I spent a good 10 minutes just recreating shep bro's face apparently he had like 10 skin grafts since ME1.

Thanks for this thread. I still haven't had an opportunity to start playing the game. The possibly screwed up cutscenes make me a little reluctant to try the FOV fix but I'll give it a try. The medium FOV does look much better than the standard FOV in those screenshots earlier in the thread.

This is the config that works for me. I had a hard time making the ones people posted here, and didnt work (didnt take jaggies but created a massive amount of lag when forced).
It also works at 60fps
So if someone has problems like me, try to use this one.
Ive tried to add other things and they seem to turn off antialising, dont know why. Also the one posted in the OP, I cant seem to find the compatibilty settings in the list (0X000000C1 for example) so I cant try if those work with my computer. So if someone helps me to explain me why they are not there I can try to use them to see if it looks better.
This is how it looks with the one I use:
Even if its not perfect is a huge improvement from the game out of the box one.
It also works at 60fps

I haven't played ME3 yet but is it that much different than ME2? ME2 played much better with a mouse and keyboard or is this just a case where some people prefer a controller? Because if this game is somehow gimped for Mouse and keyboard than I want that fixed before I buy it.
You can just revert to the old FOV whenever there's a cutscene. I simply use the following lines in bioinput.ini:
NumpadOne, aka. FOV=0, reverts to the old FOV, so there's no problem at all during cutscenes.
The last line makes sure that I am correctly zooming in when right-clicking my mouse in combat.
Keyboard & mouse is just as good as ME2. Scratch that, its better. Mouse wheel works in menus and windows now!
Some people just can't stand playing with that and want a controller, that's all.

If you preferred KB/Mouse with ME2, then you will prefer it in ME3 as well.

I can deal with that. Thanks.
It does.
I paid 5 bucks for XPadder and I think it's a worthwhile investment. Access to the forum with game profiles for virtually every game.
I completed Mass Effect 2 with XPadder and it was brilliant. I felt the control scheme was even better than the console one, as it mapped powers 1-4 to the DPad. Hold RB + dpad for 4-8.
I remember ME2 had a faint auto-aim EVEN on the PC version. Does ME3 also have autoaim?

And we get a mouse sensitivity slider instead of high, medium and low in ME2 (and low was still too sensitive).
Will have to try some of this stuff out later. My laptop isn't a beast, but it can handle this game at 30fps pretty solidly.
I'll have to mess around with shadows and lighting a bit, some instances are just ridiculous with how bad it looks. I can barely tell what Traynor looks like during our conversations because it's just a mess of blackness, just making out the eyes.

Some of the textures are incredibly terrible.
the ground looked like a 5 year old's first attempt with Maya.

Maybe try a global search for a coalesced.bin file? May take a while.

I really hope someone can mod in holster, it was one of my favorite things to do in past Mass Effects, just looking at the environments before/after battles, what the hell was Bioware thinking.

See post 82 for an alternative until a better fix comes around.
Okay, sounds like I would have to manually switch back and forth, so for now I'll leave it alone.
But what I would really like is the ability to increase the text size in the dialog wheel, and maybe a couple other text, since I play the game on a big TV. Can this be done?
