The Save Fix #2 fixes the save feature only (who'da thunk it with a name like that?). The galaxy map is still bugged. People are using console commands to work around this but this supposedly skips cutscenes, and not every planet's command has been found.

The "Razor1911", "Vitality", and "Reloaded Repack" releases are all fakes.

I wonder if there's a way to use console commands while still triggering said cutscenes?

Ugh, I sense this is a "deal with each trigger as it's found, having a fully cracked version 2009"-solution. Until someone knows how to recognize all triggers and protection mechanisms and disable them all properly this seems like a waste of time.
There are lots of reports on people having completed the game with the galaxy map console fix and the savegame fix, so I doubt it.


Using console hacks to teleport breaks tons of scripts. You wont even understand whats going on.

Well, I just found another gamebreaking flaw in this crack. At the end of that ice planet mission, you have to ride a train to go back. Problem being, screen goes blank when you're transported back to your ship. You can still get into the menus and everything though. Which I find quite odd. Oh well, I guess I go back to waiting.


Actually, it's not black, it's just extremely dark. Someone turned off all the lights in the Normandy Razz

You can fix that by opening the broken galaxy map and just getting out of it again (right clicking a couple of times).

sometimes when games are difficult to crack and cracks are rushed that normally points to the murder or arrest of one of the groups main crackers. But in this case it was a fake crack to begin with both groups who claim or were given credit did not even produce this one.

Yep, figured that out in an act of desperation later. Laughing
Just finished Feros and it's the same thing. However, now I don't really know which planet to go to. I'd rather just a galaxy map fix now. Sad

So finally, is it worth starting the game ? I'd like to give it a try because I think that when a proper crack comes out, there will be no need to restart the game from scratch. Still, I'm not sure.

What is it you think ?

Yes, with the new crack you can save, wait for a crack for the galaxy map.

PostPosted: Tue, 3rd Jun 2008 20:58    Post subject: WTF
Ok what is "Save Fix #2"?!! I don't want someone to post it or a link to it, just a better description... like WHO made it (group??).. you know.. something to search for... becuase "Save Fix #2" in google doesn't really help a lot...

Only thing i found was a vague reference to 'the russian one'.. OK... this helps a LOT Wink

Seriously though... is there SOMETHING about this 'fix' that might help me find it?

Wonder why most sites are so scared to post anything about it... gcw took down the half working cracks.. never seen them do that before.. usually they are just marked 'doesn't fully work' etc... now they write 'cracks are not needed since it is activation' ... WTF? and how am i going to install (or reinstall from backup) this game without internet connection? No crack needed my a##.

Also that nforce is closing threads and removing comments that talk about the crack or ways of making it work (as apparently there ARE ways) and ONLY allowing 'gameplay' topcis also seems like they must be scared sh##less of SOMETHING. What is it? Some new law that completely removed all out fair use rights and nobody told me about it?

I wonder how much will be left of this post once the mod's get through with it..

Only heard something about, "the russian one" also. Other than that, only know about the TRFF one.

GCW operates on the preposition, that you own the original, and are only a crack so you don't need to have the cd in the drive, or, resorting to a copy of your original.

Since Mass Effect only needs to be activated with the serial once, and the DVD is not required to be in the bay, they removed all the links (at least it keeps up with their policy).

Still, a few days passed, and no good release out there..........strange...........they must be on strike because of the oil prices Very Happy looooooool

I know there were reports of the TRFF crack/injector being infected with either a trojan or rootkit, anyone who found this trojan explicitly on their machine (or rootkit) can they please reply with the name of what they found? (obtained my TRFF crack from GCW) just fyi, i've seen the online reports for it (3 of 24 or something) but that doesnt detect rootkits,

I've ran about 4 rootkit programs, lot of false positives being returned so it's kind of hard to filter throught them. Anyone else tried to debunk/prove anything in regards to the TRFF crack?

right. The "Russian one" is called "Mass.Effect.Fix-NoGrp" the places I have looked. I'm sure you could find it on a certain site, that has a logo that is somewhat like oldschool ships. In the end stuff usually ends up there.

Oh and btw, hi there everybody. Been lurking for a while.

Edited for retarded spelling.

Someone on rslog seems to have found a solution for the galaxy map without using console commands...I hope combining this with the russian save fix the game is now full playable.

So…my turn to stem on the podium? Well..

ME: 0_W_N_E_D!

I won’t more than:http://rapidshare.com/files/119884433/MassEffect.CT.html
This is a .CT table, meant to be opened with Cheat Engine (google for it, it’s a freeware anyway)
PROTOCOL:
-launch Cheat engine (CE in short)
-open MassEffect.CT with cheat engine
-start game (russian or reloaded proper with savegames dunno size=48 956 922 bytes)
-at the main menu, alt tab to CE
-in CE open your game (corner left icon with a computer)
-select all lines in the bottom pane
-press space (all tick boxes near “no description” should be ticked)
-re-alt tab to mass fx
-wait a loooooooot (like the loading, but you see your desktop)
-load savegame
-PLAY!!!

Works for me, i don’t provide technical support.


And yes, it works perfectly. Saving and Galaxy Map issues.

You sure about that? I've been checking rlslog regulary,and haven't found anyone who's anywhere close to a non-console solution.

Good Day,

As I have read in other forums, is not 100% flawless. In some planets there is still the black screen but for all of them...until now, there are workaround...so it still works...

UPDATE: Based on the solution given with the Cheat Engine and the Russian Fix Save Exe, a User has just post a New Fixed EXE, called " MassEffect-gmfix" (Save Fix 2). Hope this work...I am at my Office..anyone to check it?

Thanks...

UPDATE 2: The Crack seems to work with the same limitations of the Cheat Engine. But it works without making all the procedure.

UPDATE 3: After new research from one user who actively participated in the creation of this crack, if you begin a new game or use a save in which you have NEVER used a console command, the crack works 100%. This has been confirmed in some forums too.

Well i took the new crack posted on rlslog.net , comments on reloaded crack page 11 post 1004 and 1005. so far it works ( can see galaxy map , can land on planets ) havent checked the file for virii ( i'm a bit paranoid --> i'll still check it at a later date even if it makes the game work )

Please confirm. Uh also someone with more experience could post a link. I dont know it it's allowed in this forum. Thanx.
