Turns out it was because it wasn't in Origins files even though it changed the startup like it was so I uninstalled and reinstalled on Origin. So this time when I did the renaming it worked. Thanks Sylvrwynd I can now play the game again. I have to use the trainer cause I'm bad at aiming and die quickly if I don't have infinite health. You saved me a lot of money and time also since I would have had to buy it on Steam and the dlcs cost more than the game on there. 😀
What did you do exactly? I am getting that same error as you did. C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries Is where I changed the names. Am I In the right spot?
For those with legal EA/Origin Digital Deluxe and DLC - Without a new trainer, here is the simple solution....
Essentially, swap file names around...
Suggest copying all EXE/PAR files (should be 4 + config.EXE) into an archive so you don't have to reinstall later if something goes wrong. Then follow below options.
Simple solution - ORIGIN - Working with the Steam/D2D 1.02 version, all DLC included.
Rename MassEffect.EXE/PAR to ME2.EXE/PAR - Rename ME2Game.EXE/PAR MassEffect2.EXE/PAR - Launch with MassEffect.EXE - should work for those with the ME2Game.EXE issues on ORIGIN.
I have tested all of the trainer functions - unlimited fuel/health/squad health/easy hack/unlimited ammo all working.
Happy Gaming!
i am having the same issue with the Trainer not working. I cannot locate above files in the Origins Games/Mass Effect 2 folder in order to rename them either. Where are they located?
We don't own the origin version of the game. if someone would like to gift it to us then we can look into it.
