PC Tweaks (Mass Effect 2)

Mass Effect 2 is based on Unreal Engine 3 and many settings can be modified in a way similar to Mass Effect, allowing the user to mod, tweak or cheat. Unlike the first Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2's in-game console is locked in a more serious way, but a multitude of effects and in-game commands can be activated through editing configuration files.

Preface

Backup Your Career

Using the modifications described in this article may alter your career permanently. It is recommended to backup your career for the option to revert back later on. The career files are located at:

Windows XP:
X:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\My Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save

Windows Vista/7:
X:\Users\%Username%\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save

Where X is the drive letter where your Windows system is installed on (usually C:), and %Username% - username that you are logging into the system with.

The career folders are named in the format John_31_Soldier_060310 (first name, psych profile/history, class, date of creation). The ME1 folder contains the Mass Effect save files transferred over by ME2 Configuration Utility.

There is also a profile file called Player1.prf under the same folder in %Username%\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\BIOGame\Profile that you may want to backup. This file stores your achievements and bonus power unlocks.

Disabling DLC Integrity Check

Some tweaks described in this article require editing (or patching) of DLC files. This may cause the game to detect that the DLC is "not authorized". If you experience such error, you may need to do some DLL patching.

Legendary Edition: DLC integrity is no longer checked in the Legendary Edition.

Enabling console

Mass Effect 2 console for the original game can be enabled by using three different methods:

• DLL patching tool mentioned above simultaneously enables in-engine console (default keys: TAB, Tilde). So if you already have that installed, you don't need to do anything else. This is the easiest way.

• Automatically patch main game configuration file (SFXGame.pcc) to remove the lock of game-based console (console use settings from Coalesced.ini). The program for patching can be found here.

• (As of the Newest Patch this no longer works) Manually patch MassEffect2.exe to enable engine-locked console (console use default settings). This method requires HEX editor and recommended for advanced users only. Basic instructions are here however are missing a fair amount of detail. Step by step guide is as follows:
  • Download HxD, which is a hex editor program.
  • Open MassEffect2.exe in HxD, which can be found in <Game Directory>/Binaries.
  • Scroll down to offset row E21730. Use page up and page down to scroll faster.
  • Under columns 04 to 06, the values should read 70 B4 56. Typing over the current values, replace them with C0 0C 54.
  • Hit save, and close HxD.

Legendary Edition: For Legendary Edition, the only current way to enable the console is to install the binkw64 proxy. Compiled dll can be installed directly via ME3Tweaks Mod Manager (Tools -> Bink bypasses submenu). Alternatively, it can be compiled manually from the source published GitHub.

Note: press "~", tilde key to open 3/4 console in game. "tab" for single bar console.

Configuration file

Coalesced.ini is the main configuration files, designed for easy adjusting the game parameters stored in .pcc files. The file can be found here:

Default location:
C:\Program Files\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Config\PC\Cooked\Coalesced.ini

1. Make a backup before you even move your cursor over it.
2. You cannot edit it with Notepad, or the game will crash on load.
3. Make sure the modified file is exactly the same size as the original, or the game may crash on load. This may depend on your version of the game. You can do this by adding extra spaces to the end of a line, or deleting unnecessary lines from the international keybindings.

If you want to edit the file manually, you will need a text editor that can handle UNIX-format files (e.g., Notepad++) and a way of "rebuilding" Coalesced.ini after your edits.

Another approach is using a specific utility such as the Mass Effect 2 Coalesced Editor for making changes. The utility takes care of the file's format and CRC, and you can add/remove settings without having to care about the file's length.

BIOGame

[SFXGame.SFXGame]

Variable	Description
StormRegen	regeneration speed of combat storm stamina
StormRegenNonCombat	regeneration speed of non-combat storm stamina
StormStamina	determines how long Shepard can storm during combat

BIOInput

This section is where binds can be added to the game (or removed. Be careful when doing this.) There are several subsections which describe key bindings during various "modes" in the game.

Subsections

Section	Description
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase]	All SFXGameModes inherit from this class. Bindings placed here would be usable in all modes, including engine-driven cinematics (making this the ideal place for screenshot and fast-forward bindings).
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault]	This is the "Default" game mode, where you control Shepard and can move them around.
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeCommand]	This mode is activated when in "command mode," where the game is paused, allowing you to give orders to your squad
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeConversation]	This is the game mode used when in conversations.
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeCinematic]	This mode is used when in-game, non-interactive cinematics are displayed. (While the shuttle lands on a planet, for instance.)
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeGalaxy]	This mode is used while the Galaxy Map is open
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeGUI]	This mode is used for hacking and decryption mini-games, as well as menus.
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeMovie]	This mode is used when pre-rendered movies are being played
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeOrbital]	This mode is used when scanning planets. Aside from bindings, several values which govern the speed of the scanning reticle are found here.
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeVehicle]	This game mode is used when the player is in the Hammerhead.

Bindings format

To add a new bind to any of the above sections, use the format
Bindings=( Name= "Key name", Command="Command", Ctrl="True", Shift="True", Alt="True")

Ctrl, Shift, Alt commands are optional, if they are not specified default value is "False". The most common use for this is to bind a command to the press of single or combination of keys.

Example: adding this to the [SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault] section will allow the player to take screenshots while on foot by pressing F8: Bindings=( Name= "F8", Command="Shot" )

Tweaks

Ability to take only certain weapon types

Now you'll be able to pick only certain weapon types like in Mass Effect 3.

[SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData]
AssaultRifles=(ClassName="SFXGame.SFXWeapon_AssaultRifle_Base")
Shotguns=(ClassName="SFXGame.SFXWeapon_Shotgun_Base")
SniperRifles=(ClassName="SFXGame.SFXWeapon_SniperRifle_Base")
AutoPistols=(ClassName="SFXGame.SFXWeapon_AutoPistol_Base")
HeavyPistols=(ClassName="SFXGame.SFXWeapon_HeavyPistol_Base")
HeavyWeapons=(ClassName="SFXGame.SFXHeavyWeapon")

[SFXGame.SFXWeapon]
IconRef=0
GUIImage=GUI_Codex_Images.AssaultRifles_512
PrettyName=339532
GeneralDescription=0
ShortDescription=0

Change Player Shield Recharge time

You can modify shield recharge time to increase/decrease combat pace to suit your play style:

[SFXGame.SFXShield_Base]
ShieldRechargeTime=(X=2.0f,Y=2.0f)
The time shield needed to fully regenerate (in seconds).

ShieldRegenDelay=(X=5.0f,Y=5.0f)
The time before shield start regenerating (in seconds).

Change the values to 0.0 will cause shield unable to regenerate.

This also affects your squad members shield.

Carrying upgrades to New Game+

[SFXGame.SFXGame]
NGPlusPlotVariables=Tec_AssaultRifle
You can grab upgrades plot variables above.

Editing Shepard Template Face Codes

You can add or remove custom Shepard pregenerated codes in the game:

[SFXGame.BioSFHandler_NewCharacter]
MalePregeneratedHeadCodes={Facecode}
FemalePregeneratedHeadCodes={Facecode}

Note: If you have Kasumi DLC installed removing standard face codes will not work, because of rewriting section by DLC .ini file. In this case you have to modify DLC .ini directly.

Changing Power Cooldown Time

Go to appropriate for your difficulty section:

[SFXGame.SFXDifficulty_Level2]
EnemyPowerCooldownMultiplier=1.0
SquadPowerCooldownMultiplier=1.0

Set the values to 0.0 to completely remove cooldown.

Note1: Level1=Casual, Level2=Normal, Level3=Hard, Level4=Veteran, Level5=Insanity. Level6 is not used.

Note2: Cooldown for some powers, such as Adrenaline Rush, is not affected by this parameter.

Unlocking Weapons

There are three ways of unlocking weapons:

1. By setting weapon boolean parameters to true

[SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault]

Bindings=( Name="NumPadOne", Command="SetIntByName Wpn_GethPulseRifle 1" )

To unlock all normal weapons, add: Bindings=( Name="NumPadOne", Command="SetIntByName Wpn_AssaultRifle2 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_AutoPistol2 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_Locust 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_GethPulseRifle 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_HeavyPistol2 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_Shotgun2 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_SniperRifle2 1" )

To unlock all heavy weapons, add: Bindings=( Name="NumPadTwo", Command="SetIntByName Wpn_CryoBlaster 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_GrenadeLauncher 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_NukeLauncher 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_ParticleBeam 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_Flamethrower 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_MissileLauncher 1" )

To unlock all Collector Ship weapons, add: Bindings=( Name="NumPadThree", Command="SetIntByName Wpn_SuperAssaultRifle 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_SuperShotgun 1 | SetIntByName Wpn_SuperSniperRifle 1" )

Unlocked weapons will stay unlocked for subsequent play-throughs for the current career, and it is possible to get all Collector Ship weapons (although you must still have the proper class to actually equip them).

2. By removing or changing weapon dependency conditions

[SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData]

AssaultRifles=(ClassName="SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_Needler",UnlockPlotID=Wpn_AssaultRifle2)

AssaultRifles=(ClassName="SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_MachineGun",bNotRegularWeaponGUI=true)

Remove bNotRegularWeaponGUI and UnlockPlotID parameters.

If you want to make a special weapon available to your squadmates only when you've unlocked the weapon change the line to:

AssaultRifles=(ClassName="SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_MachineGun",UnlockPlotID=Wpn_SuperAssaultRifle)

You can use the method to unlock all special weapons for your companions. The M-300 Claymore's (SFXWeapon_FlakGun) code is Wpn_SuperShotgun and the M-98 Widow's (SFXWeapon_MassCannon) is Wpn_SuperSniperRifle.

3. By typing in the command "SetIntByName Wpn_[WEAPON NAME] 1" into the console, with [WEAPON NAME] being whatever the game names the guns. (M-3 Predator is HeavyPistol, etc.)

To unlock the Revenant Machine Gun, type into the console: SetIntByName Wpn_SuperAssaultRifle 1

To unlock the M-98 Widow, type into the console: SetIntByName Wpn_SuperSniperRifle 1

Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightX",Command="Axis aTurn Speed=0.2 DeadZone=0.3")

Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightY",Command="Axis aLookup Speed=0.2 DeadZone=0.3")

Comes in useful for steam controller users or gamepad users who want to bind gyro to a mouse.

Changing Squad Weapon Loadouts

You are able to define which weapon classes are available to which player classes and companions.

[SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData], located under the BIOGame section
HenchLoadoutInfo=(ClassName=SFXPawn_$SQUADMATE,WeaponClasses=(LoadoutWeapons_HeavyPistols,LoadoutWeapons_Shotguns))

Replace the LoadoutWeapons_* list to a comma-separated combination of the following:

LoadoutWeapons_AssaultRifles
LoadoutWeapons_Shotguns
LoadoutWeapons_SniperRifles
LoadoutWeapons_HeavyPistols
LoadoutWeapons_AutoPistols
LoadoutWeapons_HeavyWeapons

Unlimited Ammo

There are four ways to enable unlimited ammo:

1. Open the properties of a weapon (e.g., [SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_Needler] section for the M-15 Vindicator; see the table below for a full list) and change bInfiniteAmmo=false into bInfiniteAmmo=true. The weapon will now spend ammo from the magazine and has to be reloaded, but spare ammo will never decrease. Other weapons are unaffected, so you have to repeat this for all weapons.

   Note: For DLC weapons, you have to edit the BIOWeapon.ini file for the respective DLC. The file will be located in the $ME2_INSTALL_FOLDER\BioGame\DLC\$DLC_Codename\CookedPC folder. Be aware that some DLCs contain more than one weapon; in that case, the bInfiniteAmmo=true line needs to be added to all relevant sections (replacing existing bInfiniteAmmo if any).

2. In the [SFXGame.SFXWeapon] section change AmmoPerShot=1 into AmmoPerShot=0. None of your weapons will spend any ammo when firing and don't need to be reloaded. For M-920 Cain do the same in [SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXHeavyWeapon_NukeLauncher].
3. Changing the "reload" binding to ( Name="PC_Reload", Command="SwapWeaponIfEmpty | TryReload | initammo 999" ) in the [SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase] section.. This will refill spare ammunition every time the reload button is pressed. This affects only non-heavy weapons.
4. Changing the "shoot" combat binding to read ( Name="Shared_Shoot", Command="initammo 999 | SwapWeaponIfEmpty | FireWeapon | OnRelease StopFiringWeapon" ) will reset the player's spare ammunition every time the fire trigger is pressed. This affects all weapons.

Note: If you use the second or fourth method, you won't able to reload your weapon. That will result in inability to make progress in the Lazarus Project medbay (the door won't unlock until you reload). The bInfiniteAmmo tweak (the first method) will force you to empty your clip in order to leave. Once your clip is empty, Shepard will reload the pistol and the door will be opened.

Hybrid Heat/Ammo System

It is possible to change the ammo system into a "hybrid heat/ammo system", in which the weapon will regenerate its ammo when not fired for awhile. (You can consider the "ammo" as "how many shots can be made before weapon overheats".) When the ammo reaches zero, the weapon will automatically reload and consume the spare ammos. (You can consider the reload as "emergency heat sink / thermal clip ejection".) To activate this "hybrid" ammo system:

1. In [SFXGame.SFXGameConfig] set WeaponsUseHeat to true
2. Configure the weapons for "Unlimited Ammo" using Method 1 in the previous section. The weapons will NOT actually have unlimited ammo; this is needed to turn on the "hybrid" system.
3. Optionally, you can tune HeatDissipationRate to make the weapons 'cool down' slower or faster; the value for this setting is a float, so you can use fractional numbers.

Note: When you activate this "hybrid" system, you will no longer be able to manually reload any weapon. Please see the note of the previous section for the impact of this change.

Toggle Command Menu

Note: Modifying this line of code inside Coalesced.ini may crash the game's API or prevent it from loading if you are not careful. See note above about config file size.

The default method to view the HUD screen is to press and hold a key until you want to return to the "action". A different approach is to toggle the HUD so it will stay on by pressing a key, and return to the game when the same button is pressed again. To enable Command Menu toggle find the line in [SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase] section.

Bindings=( Name="PC_ExitCommandMenu", Command="OnRelease ExitCommandMenu" ) Change it to Bindings=( Name="PC_ExitCommandMenu", Command="ExitCommandMenu" )

More Fuel and Probes for Normandy

Locate [SFXGame.SFXInventoryManager] section in BIOWeapon module and set appropriate values for these variables: MaxProbes and MaxFuel.

Do this before starting a new game and these values will be actual for free: just forget about refueling for whole game. Changing in the middle of the game also works, but with necessity of filling new capacity and spending (a lot of) money.

Collect More Resources From Planets

Locate [SFXGame.BioPlanet]. It should contain four variables, EezoMineralsBase, PlacedMineralsPool, RandomMineralsBase, and ScanBarMaxMineralSize. Multiply the values of all of them by the same value, such as 20, to then get that many times more resources from every probe launched onto a planet.

Bind Storm To A Different Key Than Use/Cover

Note: Using this tweak may crash the game's API or prevent it from loading if you are not careful. See note above about config file size.

Locate [SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase] section in BIOInput module, and find the line reading:
Bindings=( Name="Shared_Action", Command="Exclusive Used | TryClimbOrMantleCover | Exclusive TryAcquireCover | OnRelease StormOff | OnHold 0.2 StormOn | OnTap 0.3 TryExitCover 1" )

Change it to:
Bindings=( Name="Shared_Action", Command="Exclusive Used | TryClimbOrMantleCover | Exclusive TryAcquireCover | OnTap 0.3 TryExitCover 1" )

This will remove storming from the use/cover key. Now, locate the [SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault] section, immediately below. Add a new line to the bottom of this section:
Bindings=( Name="LeftAlt", Command="OnRelease StormOff | OnHold 0.2 StormOn" )
Replace LeftAlt with whichever key you prefer to use.

Skipping Dialogue without Choosing an Unwanted Answer

On the second and subsequent playthroughs, you may want to skip already-seen dialogue by pressing Spacebar. But there is an unfortunate side effect of accidentally choosing a dialogue option when the dialog wheel appears. This tweak modifies the behavior of Spacebar to only skip dialogue. There are two methods:

Method 1

Locate [SFXGame.SFXGameModeConversation] in BIOInput and change the following line:

Bindings=( Name="SpaceBar",Command="PC_ConvSkip")

into (all in one line):

Bindings=( Name="SpaceBar",Command="set BioConversation m_bSkipRequested true | OnRelease set BioConversation m_bSkipRequested false")

Method 2

Find [SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase] in BIOInput and change the following line:

Bindings=( Name="PC_ConvSkip", Command="SkipConversation" )

into (all in one line):

Bindings=( Name="PC_ConvSkip", Command="set BioConversation m_bSkipRequested true | OnRelease set BioConversation m_bSkipRequested false")

Fix Field of View (FOV)

Some players feel that the game's default FOV in combat mode is too small; one needs to keep looking around left and right just to gain some situational awareness. Unfortunately, the default FOV is not permanently fixable. However, a workaround to fix the FOV during combat scenes can be done by creating a Binding for the command set SFXGame.SFXCameraMode FOV $N, where $N is the desired value for the FOV: 75 is the game's default value, and it is suggested that values in the range of 90..120 (inclusive) works best.

For example, to bind the command to the "." (Period) key, find the [SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault] section, and add the following:

Bindings=( Name="Period", Command="set SFXGame.SFXCameraMode FOV $N" )

Now, during combat/traveling mode, a press of the "." key will set the FOV to the value you desire (remember to replace $N with a numerical value). The new FOV value will remain effective until you exit the game.

Temporarily Activate "NoClip" Mode

Mass Effect 2 is buggy, and one of the bugs is the possibility of Shepard somehow managing to climb to places they shouldn't be able to... and got trapped there. The only way to exit this situation is to either load a prior save, or to temporarily activate "No Clip" mode which will allow Shepard to leave the bounding box.

To enable temporary activation of "NoClip", you can add the following binding to the [SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault] section:

Bindings=( Name="Backslash", Command="Ghost | OnRelease Walk")

Pressing (and holding) the \ (backslash) key will activate the "NoClip" mode, enabling you to leave the 'trap' and enter an actual path/area where Shepard should be.

(As usual, you can customize the "Backslash" key to any key you prefer.)

Disable EA and BioWare Intros

It's possible to disable the normally unskippable BioWare and EA intro videos for Mass Effect 2.

First, navigate to the Mass Effect 2 folder, then find the movies folder:
Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Movies

Then rename or delete:
BWLogo.bik
ME_EAsig_720p_v2_raw.bik
