[PC] How do I import my ME1 save file to ME2?

[Moose_Sly]

I have the Mass Effect Trilogy intalled on Origin. I have completed ME1 and I'm trying to import my ME1 Shepard to ME2. I have already tried to import it manually but it didn't work. When I boot up ME2, there's no startup screen.

Hello,

I purchase the mass effect trilogy on Origin, and I just finished Mass effect , but when I want to import my ME1's save on ME2 , the game don't find any save, I haven't the ME2 Luncher on Origin (just Play and information about the game), and I already try to create a file with my save in the ME2 directory without succes, well I'm quite lost for the moment

Forget about it, I read everywhere that I have to take the "Char" save, I just test with the char save and the other (xxxshepard48.masseffectsave) and the game found it! hehe

Also, where is configure? Is it in game or the application. Because I have used the application but that didn't work.
