If you mean the one that yo have to connect dots- it's like a Memory game, just slide over the dots to see their symbol, and find the second one with the same symbol and left click both of em.
If you mean the one where the screen slides- I was confused about that to. You need to find a match to the part that is shown in the upper left corner of the hacking screen, just press space "lock on" on the parts.

Ah, thanks. Rather confusing, hopefully I'll get the hang of it eventually... but the dots one is easy at least.

Oh, and what cybtropic said. |
Thanks for you and the other two guys for the advice. I tried renaming the loading screen in order to force the game to skip it, but the game hangs up anyway. Could I be on the wrong track here? I'll see what I can do about ffdshow, regardless.
Meanwhile, any further tips would be most welcome.
Also, is there anyone still using a single-core system? How does the game fare?

Can't, atleast from what I can see, there's a Engine.INI file in the game directory but it seems to do little aside from setting some initial variables (Tried using it to get at the console.) and the rest is kept in C:\Users\UserName\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2 but it's very basic and some files are coded or encrypted somehow.
(I can understand the profile file but why the settings files? aside from what you can set in the launcher program)
EDIT: Unless values can also be added to GamerSettings.ini instead of what's usually there like custom key bindings and what not, doubt it though but it might work, will try to disable that smoothing system to see if this works, should be noticeable with FRAPS and fairly straightforward.
EDIT: Inserting worked sort-of.
[SystemSettings]
UseVsync=False
Added to GamerSettings.ini, exited the game and the [] tagged entry was gone but the value was added to the existing [systemsettings.ini] can't find a way to disable the smoothing system so instead of 60 FPS I now have 62 FPS.

They have removed the ability to zoom out and pan around you party, this alone set the game apart from a console port, now it's gone.
This function enabled you to play tactically which in my mind made the game.
EA's purchase of Bioware was a major mistake. |

There's nothing tactical about this game, so such an option would be useless. Yes they have cut out some skills, options etc., but not anything essential. They dropped the dead weight. I'd much rather have this than a game with crappy elements just so it can be more RPGish.

I'm not missing that tactical thing at all... It was very useful in Dragon Age but it isn't needed in this game. :/ |
Not atm, but when you have a full team with many powers and tough enemies believe me you'll miss it.

I never used the tactical view in ME1, even though I paused it constantly. I doubt I'll miss it in ME2.

i found:

in x:\Program Files (x86)\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Config\DefaultEngine.ini
but changed to False, the fps still locked at 60fps

So far I've added many other commands from that file to GamerSettings.ini after altering the file itself but only the VSync command (Not the full one, other one.) seems to have done anything I could notice.
Looks like this now.
 Spoiler: |
| Code: |
[SystemSettings]
Resolution=_1680x1050
ResX=1680
ResY=1050
FullScreen=True
BorderlessWindow=False
QualityBloom=True
FilmGrain=True
MotionBlur=True
DynamicShadows=True
LightEnvironmentShadows=True
MaxCharacterCinematicLightingPasses=3
EnableLightEnvSHLights=True
MaxAnisotropy=16
DisableAudio=False
//Above are all default settings before altering the file.
UseVsync=False
//This is where the VSync command ended up.
[SaveGames]
Location=
//Some other default settings, save game placement?
[AppCompat]
MeasuredCPUScore=329.756927
CompatLevelComposite=5
CompatLevelCPU=5
CompatLevelGPU=5
GPUVendorID=4098
GPUDeviceID=37984
//Performance rating, determines initial settings aside from resolution and probably a few others.
[BioAdditionalContent]
m_bCheckTFCGuid=false
//Don't check version of game if DLC is incompatible, add it anyway.
//(Commented in DefaultEngine.ini)
[Engine.VSync]
ForceFullVSync=False
//This is that other Vsync value, doesn't seem to do anything as it's already off.
[Engine.BioDynamicLightEnvironmentComponent]
SmoothShadowLight_Cinematic=true
SmoothShadowLight_Exploration=true
//Enable smooth lighting for something else.
//(Cinematic was false by default.)
[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
MaxTranslucencyLayers=4
MaxTextureSize=4096
DisableHWShadowMaps=False
BIOPixelShaderVersion=ps_3_0
BIOVertexShaderVersion=vs_3_0
//Completely useless but tells the game what it can support, doesn't really do anything.
|
|
EDIT: Other than that you can also rename the EA and Bioware logo files and the "attract" movie file to start the game faster without logo movies playing.

it seems 62fps is the UE3 engine's smooth sys limited, so I copy the below to the ini, but still limited at 62fps
[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=True
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=262

The only thing that's irked me so far is the "mission complete" screen popping up. It seems all of the other streamlining has been for the better.

I'm pretty sure you gain more bonus resources, alignment points and levels based on what level your ME1 character was. You also get some bonus cash for having a "rich" ME1 character. Didn't really pay attention to what I received so I don't have any numbers for you.

Yuck, even the music is complete FAiL. Where is the Vangelis-inspired masterpiece of the first one? Now it's the usual generic over-melodramatic sci-fi crap that is heard in every sci-fi game.  Would have even preferred the Dark Void soundtrack by Bear McCreary (same guy that scored BSG).
This entire game feels awful lot like Modern Warfail 2. Huge production values, technically a lot better, but it's just empty in the inside in every possible way. Mass Fail 2. Typical megalomania by developers who can't get over themselves (or EA).
