Mass Effect 2
[Shadowdawn9's Wineskin 1.0 Wrapper, DankoB's Modified 1.1.38 Engine]



Description:
Mass Effect 2 is an action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a sequel to Mass Effect, and the second game of the series. The game was released on PC and Xbox 360 in North America, Europe and India on January 26, 2010, Australia on January 28, and New Zealand on January 29.
After the events of the original game, Commander Shepard is killed in an ambush by a mysterious alien species called the Collectors. Shepard is revived two years after the attack by an enigmatic organization called Cerberus, and is tasked with finding out more about the Collectors and why they are abducting entire human colonies. Many elements and locations from Mass Effect return, in addition to ones new to the series.
A critical and commercial success, Mass Effect 2 had sold over two million copies worldwide within a week of release, and has also received highly favorable reviews. It is ranked third on the Xbox 360 according to GameRankings, and is, overall, the fourteenth best reviewed game of all time. The game holds several perfect scores and has an average of 94 and 96 for the PC and Xbox 360 on Metacritic respectively.

Importing Mass Effect 1 Saved Game:
(Credit for instructions goes to efeldstein12 and Mr. Johnny Moore from the following forum: http://social.biowar.../index/918034/1)

Step 1 (If you played and completed the recently uploaded ME1 game for mac and want to continue that save file): Show contents of the large ME1 file. Go to: Contents/root/drive_c/users/crossover/My Documents/Bioware/Mass Effect/Save. In this folder get the file which looks like Char_xx_xxx_xxx_xxx.MassEffectSave. For example my file was entitled: Char_01-49-2-1-3-27-6-2010-37-38.MassEffectSave. This file is what ME1 created when you beat the game on that profile thus this is the only save file which can be imported, of a given profile, to ME2. Copy and paste this file to your desktop or another easy to access location.

Step 1. (If you want to import a completed game from online such as from http://www.masseffectsaves.com/): Simply go through the website and download a Character File of the character you want to play ME2 as.

Step 2. (applicable to either method above): This step is to find the location of ME2 saves. First you must show contents of the large ME2 application file. Then go to the following location: drive_c/users/Wineskin/My Documents/BioWare/Mass Effect 2.

Step 3. You can either do one of two things, start a random game on ME2 and play up to a point where you can save and thus create a Save folder in this location, or the quicker method of creating a sub folder entitled "Save". Thus the location looks like: drive_c/users/Wineskin/My Documents/BioWare/Mass Effect 2/Save. Now, in this "Save" folder, create a subfolder entitled "ME1": drive_c/users/Wineskin/My Documents/BioWare/Mass Effect 2/Save/ME1.

Step 4. Now simply drag your character profile into this "ME1" folder and when you start up Mass Effect 2 choose to start a new game and import an ME1 character.

The game will see your file and presto you are done!

Notes/Known Issues:
- If the game won't start - delete old (original) prefs.

- You can update to OpenAL 2.0.9 - at least it won't crash the game and the sound will be a bit better.
- PC's saved games work in Mac version.
(Thanks Pluto999!)
- The same texture bug on character skins that was present in the Mass Effect 1 port is here as well, but it's a lot more noticeable.
- All human characters' eyes show up black.
- The game runs rather sluggishly, so I would suggest tweaking the settings to see what works well for your computer.
- Not tested with an ATI card, but it should work.
- There's a bug where the selection box flickers or just doesn't show up at all, when pointing at an object or door. To get around this, toggle the esc menu, then hit the spacebar right after to select the targeted object.

Enjoy!
