Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 - by mana84



New Update:
Made change to fix issues caused by Nvidia's negligence but were too lazy to fix. No more crashing regardless of driver.

Description:
- lights and shadow issues are fixed
- fog, smoke and other effects are fixed
- lens flares are fixed
- crosshairs, enemies indicators and target marks fixed (dynamic depth)
- presets for convergence/separation, you can cycle by 'U' key

This is a rewritten and improved 3d fix, 2d elements, shadows and other effects should be fixed properly now. Like always, make me know if someone finds any other issue.

I want to thank smarteck from the bioware forum for his mods, he's certainly one of the biggest texture modder for ME saga. If you are interested, you can download his mods for ME2 here


How to install/play:
- Extract "MassEffect_fix.zip" archive in your "..\Mass Effect 2\Binaries\" directory of the game. If you have steam version it should be "..\Steam\SteamApps\common\Mass Effect 2\Binaries\".

  1. Looks great.

    Best game of all time. Looks like I need to give saga one more spin... or maybe two.

  2. I agree that it looks great. I look forward to giving ME2 another go now. Thanks for the great work!

  3. I understand that all of these HD-textures are placed separately? Too complicated for the average user ... A few months ago, I tried to put the HD-textures for ME3 through TEXMOD ... It did not work :-(

    1. They aren't required for this mod.
      Its a bit less complicated for ME2 because you dont have to worry about origin though.

    1. that's pretty strange, seems like dll can't find the DX9Settings.ini file... have you put it into binaries folder?

      I will download and apply the fix again from zero...

    3. Nop... I lost that indicators and the crosshair :/


      Maybe there is some problem in my game files (I´ll check that later).. thanks anyway for sharing this :D

    4. Strange. Im sure its not the case because you just reinstalled but it works for me.
      You should be using the d3d9.dll and dx9settings.ini thats included with the files [If your using a different one this won't work]. Just to make sure.

      Delete
    5. Yss.. I delete all the FXAA TOOL files and the previous 3D fix files... also with the previous 3D Fix I can see crosshair and the indicators but at wrong deph and I made before a texmod fix for that :P but is not soo good.. also mana84 say: press "U" key for convergence/separation pressets.. but I press that key and nothing happens... maybe my game is broken :P

      This is my folder files:

    6. I fix the "U" cicle preset problem.. now works.. but I can not see the indicator on doors or objects.

      The game looks amazing btw O_O good job.


      And I need to say this:

      " Nvidia, instead of wasting all that money to use in "Project Shield" (which I consider a unnecessary product), these resources should be used to form a team of people like you guys, for improve the experience of the products 3D vision, SLI and Multi-monitors ".


      Thanks for sharing what you do here guys.

    7. I'm sorry about indicators still doesn't work for you... what's your game version? Is it updated to latest patch? Does dynamic crosshair work for you now?

      Delete
    8. aa thanks.. but do not worries about that.. I see that now the indicators are disabled with or without the fix.. so my game must be broken.. I will to reinstall..

      Thanks again ;)

    9. Psh, you dont need them anyways. When ME2 first came out and I wanted to play in 3D, lensflares, door/object indicators, crosshair, shadows, depthoffield[......] all had to be turned off. Fun times lol.

      Delete
    10. I know its a bit late to the game but for anyone like me, lost cross hairs and item markers. I had added lines to my config file C:\Users\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\BIOGame\Config\gamersettings.

      Im in the process of eliminating which one did it. But removing all the added lines put my in game indicators and sights back in place.

      Mana84, I love everything you do. Eqzitara, youre good people. smarteck, I also love all your goodies. Much appreciated.

      Delete
    11. To fix missing crosshairs and door indicators, make sure Dynamic Shadows is turned on in the settings.

    "Honestly is spectacular what is enjoyable 3D game with this mod, great job, congratulations, thanks and praise. PS: Nvidia should hire your services urgently!"

    I had to run a translate just cause I had to see if he needed help. Just pointing it out for you.

  6. Thanks for the fix, this is great.

    For anyone wondering, you can disable the horrid vignette effect, at higher depths it causes problems because one eye sees something darker than the other. In the first game you had to disable post processing to do it, in this, you just have to follow this. http://uk.gamespot.com/mass-effect-2/forum/remove-depth-of-field-53232129/?page=0

    Says DOF, but also removes the darkened edges of the screen. Must have in my opinion, was doing my head in.

    1. Its up to you if want to do DepthofField=False but it effects MANY other effects. It disables all post processing effects.

    2. Damn didn't think it did, though I did notice the game is a little more yellow than blue, just like the first game with post processing off. Still, worse graphics are preferable to the headaches from focussing images at different levels of brightness.

      Delete
    3. Ah, I have a similiar issue with depth of field. I have trouble dealing with "cinematic depth of field". [which is why I removed it through code for helix's me3 / mana84's patch as an "oppotional patch"].

      Yea, you got to do what you got to do. Bioware goes all in with the effects lol. Not a surprise either of us have issues in these games and not many others.

    4. Its up to you if you want to try it but maybe sweetfx can improve visuals a bit. They generally work well in UE3 games

  7. hello all,
    Thank you Mr. Mana for creating this, so relieving to not see double vision as much... :) And thanks to Mr. eqzitara for directing me here to obtain ur ME2 3D fix, it works!

    However, all is not well in Eden...

    All of a sudden in game, the crosshairs disappeared! And i can't get them back! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as i reaelly don't wanna have to dig out the vanilla ini. file and deactivate all my mods...

    3. Hello again Mr. eqzitara ;)

      I have found that the only way to get my crosshairs back is to delete the files i pasted into the binaries folder, then they work just fine! But then i lose Mr. Mana's 3D fix... Mr. Mana do u have an updated version that addresses this? Either way i am grateful to all of u folks. BTW, how did u accomplish this in the first place? Is there any way to make ME2 as cool in 3D as ME1???
      thanks again!

    4. Patches are available for full mass effect series. Click gameslist.

      If author[mana84] see's message maybe he will look into it. At one point I thought he had an option to enable/disable crosshair. But its not documented though. I keep meaning to play ME2 again but keep getting busy. Anywho Im looking at his files. Try clicking I, maybe it will fix it. In his code it seems to still be working.

      If that doesnt work, let me try to remove the option of the on/off switch.
      Goto shaderoverride/vertexshaders/F31E42E5.txt
      remove this line
      mul r6.w, r6.w, r14.y

      so instead of this
      mul r11.x, r11.x, r12.w
      mul r6.w, r6.w, r14.y
      add r5.x, r5.x, r11.x

      it looks like this
      mul r11.x, r11.x, r12.w
      add r5.x, r5.x, r11.x

      Delete
    5. Oh right, new to site.

      We give "options". I call them on/off switches.
      Normally you go to play a 3d vision game. What you see is what you get. We sometimes build "options" into game. Change hud depth/ turn off depth of field/ save multiple depth/convergence settings / etc.
      We USUALLY document it.

  8. K, thx...
    I will be getting out of work in about an hour (graveyard) and will give it a try... I first have to re-install mana's files into my binaries, as my Nvidia CP crashed (again) and i had to do a system restore to last week to fix it so i can play in 3D.

    It is funny though, that i could play for over 2 hours with combat crosshairs, then out of the blue they dissapear? I wonder if i hit a key by accident that deactivated the crosshairs? I will save ur instructions Mr eqzitara. I am wondering, how do u all know so much? I am overwhelmed by the amount of catching up i have to do!

    1. Oh and i figured out it was the console commands changing the FOV that messed up the crosshair. But it still looks cool with Nvidia Crosshair.

  9. The "I" (eye) key toggles crosshairs (unless the [KEY1] was edited to some other Key= ## value).

    Anyone have luck with Sweet FX 1.4?
    This Helix mode works when used alone. SweetFX 1.4 works when used alone. Helix+SweetFX never finishes startup. NO crash, and CPU activity for ME2Game.exe but it never displays. Stays as a blank, small 'splash screen looking window.

    [General]
    ProxyLib = C:\Origin\Mass Effect 2\Binaries\d3d9_sfx.dll
    UseEndScene = false

    Added the above to DX9Settings.ini. Copied DX9Settings.ini to "C:\Origin\Mass Effect 2" and "C:\Origin". Disabled Origin in-game.

    I understand Boulotaur2024's version allows the Helix d9d3.dll to be proxy loaded but as Boulotaur2024 has been MIA since June I'm not making the change to that version of SweetFX.

    1. Figured it out. Helix+SweetFX+EVGA Percision is the loosing combo. Disabling EVGA Percision frame rate display and Helix+SweetFX works.
      Helix+EVGA Percision = good
      SweetFX+EVGA Percision = good
      Helix+SweetFX = good
      Helix+SweetFX+EVGA Percision = no go

    2. Something else that can hide the crosshair and interactive object indicator is the dynamic shadows toggle in the game's graphics options.

      Delete
    3. Depth is gained through shadows. Code from one is passed to the other.

  10. I have two "mass effect 2/binaries" directories.

  11. Hi there,
    I just installed the patch in the binaries, turned off Origin in-game, (tried both with universal shut-off and for the game only), started the game and got a black screen when it went into the start menu. It just will not turn on again. It happened right after I extracted the files into the binary folder of the game (not my documents). I uninstalled the game, reinstalled and got the game running again. Then I extracted the files into the binary again and again--- blackscreen. Any ideas?

    2. Hi, thanks for your answer. I went through what you said. But I don't even know what evga precision or msi is. Now the game just crashes. It does not crash without the zip files extracted into the binary folder.

      I have an sli setup with two geforce 680 installed. They are overclocked a little by the manufacturer. I am not using any software from that manufacturer though. The screen is an Asus vg278he and I am using 3d vision 2.

    3. You got an appication open/running in background that is crashing it.

  14. Hi. I'm having a problem getting this mod to work. I'm running the Origin version of Mass Effect 2 with the in-game overlay turned off, and whenever I try to play with the mod in the \Binaries folder, the game starts up normally with the Bioware and EA splash screens, but then the screen goes black and the menu music starts playing. If I alt-tab out of it and come back, the screen stays white. The only way to close the game is to restart the computer. If I delete the mod files, the game works normally. I'm using an Alienware laptop with an GeForce GTX 680M running the latest drivers (335.23). I'd love to play this game in true 3D, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  23. Hello eqzitara.

    Big fan of the Helix mods and huge fan of Mass Effect.
    Reading trough the comments i learned why the screen game was blank at start-up so i reverted to the 332.21 driver.
    The 3d works fine, as good as the ME1 does .... meaning no in-game dynamic cross-hair (apart from the one with CTRL+F12) and most important no selection boxes on targets/objects.

    In the screenshots provided on top of the page i see the dynamic cross-hair and the selection boxes not only present but also all in 3d depth.Which is exactly what i want but for some reason they are not active on my screen.

    The only interaction i have with the mod is using the "U" key to cycle trough the different depths but no key to activate/deactivate in-game cross-hair/selection boxes like ME1 had.

    Is there something i need to do apart from extracting the mod in the /binaries folder?

    1. Turn on dynamic shadows in options.

      Depth is gained through shadows

    2. Thanks for the quick response.
      Dynamic shadows were activated. But then i remembered that in the GamerSettings.ini file i typed some extra settings that were supposed to increase image quality :

      EnableHighPolyChars=True
      StaticDecals=True
      DynamicDecals=True
      DynamicLights=True
      LensFlares=True
      FloatingPointRenderTargets=True
      SkeletalMeshLODBias=-1
      ParticleLODBias=-1
      Trilinear=True
      MaxAnisotropy=16
      bSmoothFrameRate=True
      MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
      MaxSmoothedFrameRate=60
      MinShadowResolution=64
      MaxShadowResolution=2048
      ShadowFilterRadius=5
      ShadowFilterQualityBias=2
      AmbientOcclusion=True
      DetailMode=5

      I removed them all and now i have the dynamic cross-hair back which is perfect.
      I probably ask too much but those settings really improved the image quality and since i am not familiar with the 3d modding do you have any idea which of those settings might have caused the issue ?

      Delete
    3. That kind of stuff is placebo effect.
      Lots of those features dont change anything. Its just someone guessing pretty much, alot of that stuff is enabled by default even if its not written. The only thing that might change anything is shadow resolution and I couldnt say without comparing.

      The best way to get better qualitity is first off disabling in-game AA downscaling / SGSSA / Sweetfx

      SWEETFX http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/game/74/

      Then go here for high qualitiy models if you want. TBH Im never certain of this type of thing. Just cause it makes certain characters look better but others same.

  31. I got this game for free from Origin I think - not having played ME1, I found ME2 boring...until today I revisited it after a few months - and figured I had to fly the ship somewhere else!

    I'm not that far into it, but first I played the "Tarak gunship" fight in 2D - great.

    Then I replayed it with your 3D fix - and it is better than perfect - thanks so much!

    P.S. I hope all these "I'm very late to the party" comments are helpful to someone (new or old).

    1. Hah! Yeah, 3D really makes games come alive. It's always a surprise to us how few people are interested.

      Please do keep letting us know ones that you find particularly interesting. It helps to know that the fixes are still working. The biggest problems we run into are fixes breaking because of game and Win10 updates.

    2. Sure thing, will do :-)

      P.S. I tried subscribing to "Notify me" on both Chrome and Firefox - no luck - obviously you and others (like the "3D Fix manager" guy) are getting notifications of every post made on this forum - is there any way to do that for me?

    3. Also after a lot of fiddling (and uninstalling / reinstalling both the game and the 3D fix) I managed to get a third party (Nexus) mod working for this game, that allows Xbox controller to be used - there is a very specific order things have to be installed in, so if anyone wants to play this in 3D AND use their Xbox controller, let me know - and I will advise what order to install in, so you don't lose the 3D.

      And Bioware are lazy for not fixing the PC version controller issue themselves!

    4. I'm not sure about the Notify me setting. This feature was blown up by the GDPR, and google made some changes to blogger to be legal. Even as admin, it blew me out the water for over a month. After they fixed it, I had to delete my email address, then re-add it. That sent a sign-up email to enable the GDPR rules. It also works if I hit the Notify me. I get two emails, one for admin, and one for the Notify me, so I know it can work.

      If you never got a new sign-up email, I think it will remain busted. Try to see if you can unsubscribe your email, delete the prior Notify me. I don't know how, but maybe you can figure it out. Maybe part of the account you sign in as. Pretty sure that if you can delete, then re-add, it will work now.

    5. Good day,

      What is the order of getting both the 3d and Xbox mod working on Windows 10?

  32. I am an idiot - at the extreme top-right of these pages, I just noticed a "Sign in" - so have just signed in using my Gmail account - now let's see if "Notify me" works.

    Can you respond to this comment, so I can see if I get Notification? Thanks

    1. Certainly. This is worth knowing as I'm helping other people on a Blogger mailing list with this problem. Please let me know either way.

    2. Thanks for the acknowledgement - all my posts / others' replies seem to be triggering as Gmail alerts, so all good :-)

  33. I am having an issue and not sure why. If I have the fix installed and turn on 3dvision in the Nvidia control panel ME2 has horrible stuttering. This is even if I disable (CTRL+T) 3d in the game. However if I run the game with 3d disabled in the control panel the stuttering is gone.

    Is this a 3dvision driver bug?

    Windows 10 Pro 1709 x64
    AMD FX8350
    GTX 1060 6GB driver 417.01
    16GB Ram

    1. To clarify the stuttering is what I would expect if I had ram or swap file issues like the game is stalling to load something.

    2. Just tested this again, and it seems to be working well. 3D is spectacular.

      I'm not seeing the stutters you are seeing, so it's not going to be something related to the fix itself. Win10 1803, Driver 417.22.

      First step would be to reinstall the nvidia driver using DDU. Since you are getting stuttering with 3D enabled, but not active, that suggests something fundamental is fairly broken. Not a demanding game by today's standards, so I would expect your hardware to run this just fine.

    3. Mass Effect 2 is one of those games that caused me endless stress in getting to work properly (not necessarily the 3D element) - so I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the GAME first - and if that doesn't fix things, then DDU (etc)

      - this advice is assuming your other 3D games are working ok...
