Hey everyone! I've played ME2 two and a half times over, and was looking for something new. So I went in and made a backup file of my Coalesced.ini configuration file. Then I started editing it. I tried to make the M-920 Cain shoot automatically with unlimited ammo, but when I try to run the game with the edited.ini file, nothing opens up. I've downloaded the latest patch for the game and drivers for my graphics card, but still nothing works. If I switch back to the backup I made, however, the game runs perfectly.

Anyone know why I can't edit the.ini file without the game working? Any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance! Christmas Ape wrote.I did all my Coalesced editing manually (USE NOTEPAD) and it loads just fine.Are you skipping the ME2.ini Fixer?Clearly they are not using INI Fixer.
That is another option that I see a lot of people opt for, but personally I find Iron Spine's Coalesced Editor to be preferable. Easy searching within specific sections, ME2Mod export, Quick Jumps to get to commonly modified values, etc. But whatever your method, you need something to rebuild the file to keep ME2 from freaking out when it reads it.Also, Notepad is great.
First we start of course the editor itself, which will show a empty window. On top left we choose File open, and we locate coalesced.bin, which normally resides in (windows 7) C: Program Files (x86) Origin Games Mass Effect 3 BIOGame CookedPCConsole. Remark: the editor will make a backup of the original coalesced.bin the 1st time you use the. Please backup your Coalesced.ini file before doing any editing as this is a critical file to allowing your game to load properly. First, what we will need are three simple tools. Notepad ME2 Ini.

I formerly used Notepad and the.ini fixer, but when I found the Coalesced Editor I started using it. Besides its intuitive interface, it does its job in one single step.
