Mass Effect 2

My saves from Mass Efftect are not copying to ME2.  I've tried a few times using the config file and nothing is working.

If the config utility doesn't work, you can manually place your ME1 saves to a folder ME2 can access. I copied the following guide from http://www.masseffectsaves.com/import.php

1) Go to Documents > Bioware > Mass Effect (Note: ME1) > Save

2) Now you will see 2 kinds of files

One Like this : Jane01_02

And like this: Char_01-36-3-1-5-25-1-2010-10-24

(Its different for everyone, but as long as it has "Char_" that is the file)

The First one is a in game save, that save cannot be used in ME2 cause its still a work "In Progress" that means you didn't beat the game yet.

Its the second one Char_01-36-3-1-5-25-1-2010-10-24 that is going to work cause it is the end game character.

Now you can copy it by right clicking it and selecting copy or you can take it out and put if somewhere you can grab it later (Like your desktop or folder)

Then repeat step one but click on the Mass effect 2 folder Start > Documents > Bioware > Mass Effect2 > Save

Now if you see a folder called ME1, put it in there, if not you can create one by right clicking on the desktop and scrolling to "New" and click Folder then calling the folder "ME1"

After that drag the ME1 folder into the Mass Effect 2 Saves folders, then put all your "Char_" files there
