What is a PCSAV File Type?
The PCSAV created by Mass Effect 2 can be imported into Mass Effect 3. However, you must make sure that the ME2 PCSAV files are stored in a save directory with the following location and name format:
C:\ Users; Users;\ Documents\ BioWare\ Mass Effect 2\ Save\ [Player_ Profil and # 93;\.
The player profile must be in the format Name_ #_ Class_ 200212, where Name is the name of your character (e.g., John), # is the level of the character (e.g., 30) and Class is the character class (e.g., Vanguard, Infiltrator, etc.) 2. Code 200212 represents the date and must be a valid string of dates. When you open ME3, choose l' option Import ME2 Character and import your player profile.
Mass Effect 3 uses .SAV files to save games.
