Xbox one controller and the big picture-config solution worked! Thanks man! I was ready to delete the mod, my game, steam, windows, my monitor, and keyboard. Thanks big time!
I tried setting to read only under properties but it still pops up in game to "Press any key" Does it maybe not work with a wireless controller? Sorry Dx
You didn't follow the first solution properly it seems. I can walk you through on Discord through voice chat if you need help? My Discord is: DreamyAbaddon#4760
Hey man I watched your videos, but I think I need some help from the beginning. I have the ME1 folders downloaded and am currently reinstalling ME1 to have a clean slate. If you have the time could you send me your discord link so we can voice chat and see if you can help me with this I tried everything but no matter what I did it still said "press any key to continue" controller wouldn't work at all. Thank you in advance
10/10 youtuber I followed the steps on his videos but did a few things slightly wrong and he got my problems straight with no problem. I messed around with it for a couple hours and he got it fixed within 15 minutes. If you need help definitely ask this guy he did everything you could possibly want to help quick response on discord, explained things with screen share and mic making it easier to follow along, also had Christmas backgrounds which I think improved my experience he gave me the gift of playing mass effect. Thank you so much my man not only did you make me happy but you made my fiance happy she could play this again
Just wanted to let you know the second part of your vid I was about to map my buttons the way you showed ( with out modding ) and my controller worked but as I clicked on the game during big pic mode I got a message ( do you wish this app to make changes) and I clicked yes and it went to the game and my controller was Un-synchronized and I’m using elite controller wihich steam see’s it as xboxone so now what do I do? Btw your vids are very formative and funny at the same time! And no I don’t have another controller attached and I checked it the way you did as well.
First of all, thank you for putting together these videos, I'm sure they were a royal pain to make, but I've followed both of your guides step by step, and also STILL can't get my controller to work with the Steam version of Mass Effect 1. Thanks in advance with any help you can give!
Alright then, add me on Discord and I'll help you walk through this on voice chat. My Discord name is: DreamyAbaddon#4760 I'm getting to the bottom of this!
Just popped into say Thank you so much DreamyAbaddon for the assistance! For anyone else having similar problems, the solution was rather simple, though tedious. After I uninstalled and deleted all versions of ME1 from my computer (including the game folder from steam app) we re-installed ME1 fresh, but for some reason my PC decided to be rather picky. So, in order to actually get my controller to start working, I had to go through each file in mod folder to make sure they were set to "Read Only", for some reason my pc would not let me just click the main folder to make it read only, which honestly only took a few minutes. However, once I got them all to be "Read Only" I then had to go into each folder (in my ME1 game folder) and paste each file that I had to re-mark as "Read Only". Honestly wasn't really to bad. TL;DR: You might have to open each folder (In the Mod Folder), and right click each file, bring up "Properties", and make sure they are set to "Read Only", then move each file (NOT FOLDER) into their respective ME1 folder. Good luck, and happy modding all!
I did everything step by step multiple times. And it still isn't working...I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but when I add the mod and start it up I noticed that it still says Demurge Studios instead of Microsoft. I'm not sure if that matters but if that will help solve my problem I hope that you can help me fix it.
Ahhh!! I've done all you suggestions here. I've only got 1 controller. Steam only shows 1. Also I disable that HID game controller. Did the A,B,X,Y button mapping. Controller works in Steam, doesn't work once the game is launched. Yes I did install the mods. PLEASE HELP man. Love the video btw.
Because my god, these little issues where pain in the ass for so many people. Especially that last part with that stupid virtual non existing controller that prevent the mod from working. Just glad I was able to find the solutions.
@@DreamyAbaddon I get it. Thanks for your vids too. I just spent the last 24h modding my mass effect games so I know how it feels. I did lol about that flash light thing though.
Is it possible to do this with the EA game launcher? I got the game through Xbox game pass. It says Demiurge when it starts for me as well. Please help!
No it's not usually hard but for the ones that are, I'll make a tutorial to teach people who need help installing them. Also I'm sorry, I tried my best to make the video easy to follow. I'll try to do better for the next video.
ok, so I have followed just about everything I can find about this and I must be copying wrong. Either that, or the file structure has changed as I have attempted to replace the folders only to have them construct subfolders within them labeled the same, I have attempted to directly relate each .ini file one at a time replacing the old, I have followed all of the suggestions from this and the previous video as well, a few further methods I thought might be affecting the use of controller support. I am at a bit of a stalemate with this file structure created by steam. I have no ability to simply copy then paste whole folders as they always attempt to create a sub folder so I am left to assume that is one factor, the other issue that bothers me is the replacement of direct .ini files and still no change. I must assume that the removal of certain sub folders would take place could I simply copy and paste between folders but am unaware of which are affecting the changes. Yes, all files are read only, I went so far as to deselect and reselect following subfolder attributation. If you or anyone has any advice on this feel free to message me or answer here or whatever as I will keep trying until I lose what remains of my sanity.
To amend, as the game launches I still have full keyboard and mouse support, so I know something is wrong, but having followed all other methods to ensure it should work I am at a loss.
Edit: I did just now figure it out, the mass effect game file contains an .ini file that is not considered read only to the most recent version of windows 10, dont ask me why and dont ask why when the whole file is adjusted to read only including sub folders it doesnt change this file. For me at least it was the singular file; engine.u all the way down into the biogame subfolder. So check every, single, file!
😅 Yeah... These common problems really pissed me off and I'm sure many who faced them can relate. Hopefully this tutorial is helpful. If these solutions don't work for you please let me know so I can find a way help you out. Cheers!
glad you got this uploaded :D nice to see you still got the icon you made when we were in discord xD
Thanks. Yeah the icon looks good for the theme. I didn't expect it to look good. It was just supposed to be an example lol
Thank you so much for the tut. I appreciate the time, patience and hard work that you put in to this.
Thanks 😊

Thank god I made this video then. That would have sucked if none of the solutions here worked.
The controller works but the game don't load after menu screen. You can choose new or resume and nothing happens. Can you help? Thanks
That's my issue right now
I spent hours trying to get this mod to work and stumbled upon this video and now i got it working. It was the steam controller config for me. Thanks!
I'm glad it works! Mind telling us which solution solved the issue for you? I'm curious.
it would be good if you can use controller support with ALOTInstaller
followed your guide down to the last detail. It still wont let me past the press start screen

It only works when it's connected via cable for the game, but outside the game i can use wireless just fine

It even lets me bring up recording and friends with my controller wireless, but start doesn't work unless plugged
Nevermind, I fixed it
Nevermind again, it worked once and stopped.
I guess you have to change the config to apply to all before every launch.
Is it possible to remap the buttons on the controller? I want to turn while sprinting so I have full 360 movement by mapping A to R3 is this possible?
Why do you sound angry making this vid?

Honestly idk about game pass games. But yeah EA games bought from the EA launcher will work.
hey i still cant see my HUD for weapons and biotics. would like some help
