Mass Effect 3 PC Thread: Fixing Bioware's broke-ass console port, now with holstering

My bad then, missed the part about being able to change them since the demo. Though besides console commands I was interested to access [systemsettings] group directly through Coalesced file because with GamerSettings.ini I'm not sure which one work and which one not. Tried making some obvious changes like setting light shafts and flares to false in it and they were still on in game. Just wanted to make sure the that the new values are accepted.

Yes, it's DX9. And that logo only appears to show you which API (DX9, 10, 11) the game is using. You can turn it off in RadeonPro.

I don't even see a way to turn off vsync for the game.
Anyway, I did some more tests and it seems my primary issue is actually related to the mouse. If I move around using WASD only, I only get a tiny bit of stuttering now and then (which is probably data being streamed), but if I move the mouse too I get a lot of stuttering.
Turns out it was related to the origin game thing. Once I turned that off, the mouse stuttering disappeared.

When you say the Origin game thing, what do you mean? I get stuttering just like this too and I've booted up ME2 again where the problem does not exist. Do you mean disabling Origin in-game?
It's really frustrating.

Extremely frustrating, isn't it? Bioware just sucks for this.
Yeah, the ingame overlay. Turning that off solved the problem immediately. I wish I knew about it earlier, I endured several hours with the annoying stuttering.
So what does this do exactly? Does it swap the FOV back to default in cutscenes?

That's the explanation. Looks like the best FOV fix because it doesn't mess with cinematics!

Added new FOV fix "how to" and details into the OP.
Do I need to activate each time I load the game?

Yep.

If you have a >60Hz monitor don't forget to add the following line in your GamerSettings.ini under [SystemSettings]
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=122
I run a 120Hz monitor and could very quickly tell that the ~60 FPS cap had been raised. Also you can do a borderless window (fake fullscreen) through the config tool, which I feel works better a lot of the time.

Huh. It's working for me.
Had this from it auto-detecting my resolution with multiple monitors. Just untick the box and set it yourself.
That's gotta be it then, I'm using 2 monitors and had auto-detect on. I will try that.
Edit: So if I have 2 1440x900 monitors, then it would be something like this, right?
Display Count: 2
Uncorrected Resolution: 2880 x 900
Bezel-Corrected Resolution: 1440 x 900
I had no idea what I was doing, but I set both as the native resolution for the monitor displaying the game. Seemed to work.
Yeah, I figured that out. Set 1 display too.

Anyone know why my ME2 save won't show up into the import menu in game? I know I've cleared it and dont some of the DLC. The files are in the right folder but the import tool always shows up blank.
Can you play the save in ME2?

I booted up ME2 and it seems to give me a missing DLC error. I changed HDD since last year so maybe that has somethingto do with it?
I don't find anything wrong with keyboard and mouse....
Although the lack of gamepad support (built into the game at least) is criminal.

It's awesome that we risk being banned and losing access to all our Origin games just for fixing their shitty game.
wow really? ugh... considering you can't holster your weapons. BLAH
In the previous game you could press H (or whatever key you assign), and your weapons would be put away. It's a typical thing in most games, I would imagine, yet not for ME3.
I don't understand. You are not able to put your weapons away after the combat is over?
No.

just downloaded and it can't find ME3. weird.
You can explore, but you can't put your gun away. Maybe they'll make a patch. Fat chance?
Hopefully someone will make a mod* similar to that for ME2, though I hear that the game's files are encrypted, right?
*Mod: http://social.bioware.com/project/2825/#gallery
It's nowhere near as big a deal as it sounds. You'll live.
Game's files will be decripted (if they are not already) very soon. If they mod holster animations in it would be great.
I think I'll wait for patches and mods.

What I would suggest is to create a ME3 save and then check in which folder it was saved. It should be like <my documents>\Bioware\Mass Effect 3. If your ME2 files are there as well, it should look like this.
<my documents>\
Bioware\
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3
If that's the case, then ME3 should find your ME2 save.
Good luck
Well, if you want to see a bunch of them, I've been taking copious screens as AI play along. Some spoilers in the link, of course, but I'm playing pretty slowly.

This game's iq is so clean, I can't help it.
Maybe a bit late to say this since you've already started playing the game, but it is possible to convert 360 ME2 saves to the PC. That's how I'm playing the game right now.
There's some info here:
http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/128/index/2277020/1
http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/128/index/5573902
Note that some savegames will make the utility crash (both utilities are based on the same codebase, even though they are used very differently, so it shouldn't matter which one you use), so you'll probably have to make a few extra saves to find which one the utility is willing to load. I found autosaves when loading new areas to be the most reliable.
And yes, PC version does look super nice. And now as I've fixed my stuttering issue, I'm able to play the game at a flawless 60fps too.

I can't find Mass Effect III in my nvidia inspector profile list :/
Thanks for the FOV fix to all responsible - it is a thing of beauty!
Conversely, however, is the AA. In game AA (ie, Mass Effect's own AA) works 'fine', however I can't get RadeonPro to work. I have disabled the in game AA, and set a profile in RadeonPro that reflects the screenshot from the first page to no avail - it's a jaggy mess. Doesn't matter if I launch Mass Effect independently or via RadeonPro.
Which crucial piece of info am I missing?
The jaggies would probably be bearable if the textures weren't such an eyesore. Ah well, first things first!
