VARIOUS TWEAK LIST:

Open Coalesced.ini file with Notepad++ or other advanced text editor like Scintilla Text Editor:

A. Utility tweaks:

1.

Planet scanning is so slow. I wish I could rotate the planet faster when scanning.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXGameModeOrbital] section
- Increase ScanReticleMoveSpeed and ScanPlanetRotationSpeed values

2.

Jogging slowly around takes so much time. I wish I could storm longer out of combat.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXGame]
- Increase StormStaminaNonCombat and StormRegenNonCombat values

3.

I wish the corpses stay a little longer. It's strange that they vanish so fast.

Solution:
confirmed not working
- Search for [SFXGame.BioArtPlaceable]

4

I don't like the pregenerated head models at character creation. Wish I could replace them with something better.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.BioSFHandler_NewCharacter]
- Replace MalePregeneratedHeadCodes and FemalePregeneratedHeadCodes with the ones you want

B. Difficulty and balance tweaks:

1.

I don't like the new global cooldown system. It forces me to use only the most efficient skills on higher difficulties and forget about less efficient but effective ones.

Solution:
confirmed not working
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXGameConfig]
- Change UseSharedPowerCooldown=TRUE to false

2.

Why guncentric classes have easier time in ME2? I'd like to use class powers on higher difficulties but im seriously limited because shields block powers. Wish I could change that.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXGameConfig]
- Change bShieldsBlockPowers=true to false

3.

Insanity difficulty is still rather easy to me. I wish enemies could have more health/shields and Shepard less.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXDifficulty_Level5]
- Increase EnemyHealthMultiplierLow, EnemyHealthMultiplierHigh and EnemyShieldBonus values
- Decrease PlayerHealthMultiplierLow and PlayerHealthMultiplierHigh values

4.

Insanity difficulty is still rather easy to me. I wish enemies could use their powers more often. Shepard's team cooldown should be increased.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXDifficulty_Level5]
- Decrease EnemyPowerCooldownMultiplier value
- Increase SquadPowerCooldownMultiplier value

5.

I've mined only rich planets and still I have plenty of minerals. There's too much of them to encurage scanning more planets.

Mass Effect 2 Configuration Utility Crash

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.BioPlanet]
- Decrease PlacedMineralsPool and optionally EezoMineralsBase with ScanBarMaxMineralSize values

6.

I like the new ammo idea but I wish thermal clips wouldn't be so sparse.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXDroppedAmmo]
- Increase PctAmmoGiven value

7.

Mass Effect 2 Import Character Configuration Utility

Having to reload weapon makes the combat more dynamic but I don't like picking up ammo. Wish I could reload but get infinite ammo.

- Change bCanDropAmmo=true to false
- Search for weapons [SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_*]
- Change bInfiniteAmmo=false to true

8.

Mass Effect 2 Configuration Utility Origin

I don't like having an unfair advantage over the enemies. In ME1 enemies regenerated their shields. I wish they regenerate in ME2.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXShield_Base]
- Change bRechargeable=false, bFastCoverRegen=false and bAbsorbDamageOnBreak=false to true
- Add bRechargeable=false, bFastCoverRegen=false and bAbsorbDamageOnBreak=false to [SFXGame.SFXShield_GethEnergy] and [SFXGame.SFXShield_GethEnergy_Player] sections

9.

Auto-regeneration feature takes away the challange from game. Not even once I really had to use medigel.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXModule_DamageParty]
- Decrease HealthRegenRate value or change bHealthRegenerates=true to false to turn it off completely

10.

I'd like to take Jacob on a mission but I find his weapon choice useless. Why can't he have an assault rifle. He's an ex-Alliance soldier, all soldiers know how to use a rifle.

Solution:
- Search for [SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData]
- Change Jacob's LoadoutWeapons_Shotguns to LoadoutWeapons_AssaultRifles in HenchLoadoutInfo=(className=SFXPawn_Jacob, Weaponclasses=(LoadoutWeapons_HeavyPistols,LoadoutWeapons_Shotgun)) Forza horizon 4 download pc.

C. Non coalesced.ini tweaks:

1.

How can I disable logo movies?

Solution:
