Текстуры для масс эффект

Install the «soft shadows» by extracting the contents of the zip file in to your game directory example: «C:\Origin\Mass Effect\»

Then for them to take effect you must clear the shader cache, to clear the shader cache (steps heavily taken from https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Mass_Effect):

1) Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Published\CookedPC.
2) Delete LocalShaderCache-PC-D3D-SM3.upk.
3) Run the game and behold soft shadows.

The game will take longer to boot on the first run after performing the above steps. This is due to the engine recaching. Following the first boot, each subsequent boot up should be as normal.

To further enhance and match the screenshots from the mod:

Lastly, to match the screenshots you will need to install the MEUITM Reshade located in the mod’s «addons» sections. Simply extract the contents in to the binaries folder in you Mass effect install directory.

**Note- FPS Counter is not compatible with ReShade so you will need to make a choice as to which one you want to use.**

Mass Effect Troubleshooting:

Mass Effect with or without the mod can crash and have issues. The most prominent issues and crashes are:

1- Hardware sound issues.
These will cause random invalid page faults and crashes. There are pages and pages online of people with this issue back to 2008. Google is your friend here. Usually a fairly simple bioengine.ini fix which will vary depending on your audio hardware.

2- Black Blocky characters on Noveria and Ilos.
See earlier section about AMD CPU owners for mod based fixes.

This is caused by playing the game on any post 2008 AMD processors (bulldozer or later chipsets) this is because Mass Effect is seeing AMD and looking for 3Dnow instruction sets that existed when it was made. AMD has ditched these instructions in their latest processors causing miss timings and faults in communication between Mass effect and the CPU. Due to this you will also see black textures for characters on Noveria and Ilos.

**The black blob character texture bug is now completely fixed MGamerz and alternately by FPS Counter, see links above for the two methods**

3- Black/missing terrain textures on Therum.
This is a known game glitch see the link below for the fix:

Mod Troubleshooting:

1- MEM installer is crashing at step «X» at («X»%):

This happens for one of two main reasons:

A) The version of the game is pirated/unsupported (Don’t report crashes if you are on pirated game-we don’t support these because the files have been repacked/altered making it a pain to mod properly but also because we don’t support piracy. Just buy the game :).

MEUITM Installer is tested working with all official releases Steam, Origin, Disc, the official digital localisations, as well as the Polish and Russian language localisations.

B) We are trying a new feature and something is temporarily broken (rare, but can happen).

2- My game is not saving anymore after installing the mod:

This has to do with your antivirus flagging MassEffect.exe after the changes MEM makes to the .exe are applied. It seems to mainly affect disc versions of the game. Here is the fix found by users:

«So I found the problem. My antivirus is deleting my saves. Apparently MassEffect.exe was added to the blocked list and wasn’t allow to read/write to my Documents folder. I removed MassEffect.exe from the blocked list and added to the Allow list. The issue has been resolved.»

«Avast has several different «shields» that it runs in a modular fashion. The exclusions list is supposed to exclude that file or folder from ALL shield actions, but that isn’t the case for whatever reason when it comes to this issue. I had the MassEffect.exe file listed, the masseffect/binaries folder listed, each of them separately, together, the whole damn Origin Games folder — nothing worked. The following worked:
1. Open up Avast interface (right click, or double click on the system tray icon on your taskbar)
2. Click on «Protection» (the lock icon on the left side bar)
3. Click on «Ransomware Shield»
4. Click «Blocked/allowed apps»
5. Click the green «allow app» button and add the MassEffect.exe

I can confirm it is specifically the Avast Ransomware shield causing the issue. I totally disabled Avast and was able to save. Then I re-enabled Avast and manually turned on one shield module at a time, until I isolated Ransomware shield as the problem. No other component of Avast blocks Mass Effect. Perhaps Avast auto updated when I wasn’t looking, but I have never had this issue before. Infuriating as it all was, not the mod’s fault.»

3- I’m experiencing micro stutter, it’s annoying. Is there anyway to reduce?:

This depends on your PC hardware and sensitivity to «microstutter» (as this can be subjective and Mass Effect 1 will always have some amount of micro stutter due to the game engine).

For many this fixes a lot of their issue:

Find the bioengine.ini file in mycdocument\Bioware\MassEffect\config

Open the bioengine.ini file with notepad or wordpad etc. find and change the following section [TextureLODSettings] and replace with the following:

This will force 2k cap to texture rendering and in some cases improve microstutter (mileage may vary depending on hardware). Also this will degrade the textures from 4k to 2k so there is some visual sacrifice.

4- My Game wont launch after mod install -infinite hang-:

There are a handful of causes, luckily all easily remedied:

a) Antivirus:
-This is almost always the culprit. It’s becoming more and more frequent as AV gets more vigilant and aggressive, in particular things like shields and live scans etc.
-Why it’s flagged?:
«Masseffect.exe» is edited by MEM (the installer) to allow both Large Address Aware mode which allows it use more system memory improving performance and preventing the large textures from crashing the game while playing, and administrator mode to avoid the annoying pop-up from windows everytime you want to play the game. This editing of the file can trigger AV services to block the game from launching.
-To fix: You must allow/add to exceptions/deem a safe app/whatever your antivirus needs to happen for it to not quarantine or sandbox «MassEffect.exe». In the above mod description is an example for Avast, but use Google or your AV manufacturer’s webpage or manual or help file etc..to find instructions how to do this per your specific AV as they are all a little different. In many cases adding to general exceptions may not be enough and you must also add it to livescan or shields etc.
-As I said these AVs are getting extremely aggressive which is great for bad actors but annoying as hell for MEUITM/AL0T and others mods like them. Luckily with a little effort they can be remedied.

b) Conflict between FPSCounter mod and Origin overlay:
This is not MEUITM but MEUITM does recommend FPSCounter usage in AMD CPU cases so you may run into it. To use FPSCounter mod you must disable Origin in-game overlay.

c) Reshade, enb, sweetfx, FPSCounter combination conflicts:
Do not combine these unless a specific mod states they will work in conjunction. If you come across such a mod do not try to run it alongside MEUITM’s ReShade as it will cause issues. MEUITM Reshade is stand alone and will not work properly or at all when combined with other injectors.

d) Indirect Sound Option:
In extremely rare cases, this is needed to fix sound bugs, only use if you have issues. The flip side if you don’t need it and use it it may cause game instability or create sound bugs.

Uninstall:

Currently there are two ways to thoroughly uninstall the mod:
