Anyone playing co-op until they fix the character import bug?

FYI...

In the interim, he recommends a fan-made mod program, Mass Effect tools (http://masseffecttools.99k.org/index.php), as a possible solution. Otherwise, players can soldier on with a brand new face, or painstakingly try to recreate their old one manually, though there?s always the risk of getting something slightly wrong and then having to spend the next 30 hours going slightly mad as your mind latches onto every imperfection. A disturbing fate. Might be better to wait for that patch instead.

From reading the chat box there, it seems some people have had success with it.

It?s unfortunate that there?s an issue with importing your character?s face from the first game.  If you still have your copies, we recommend pulling your character creation screen and looking at the unique code in regards to your character?s face.

BioWare also mentioned that PC players of Mass Effect 3 could look at using Mass Effect Tools (http://masseffecttools.99k.org/index.php) to attempt to fix their issue with the face import issue.  Keep in mind that this is not an official site nor do they have affiliation with BioWare, but it?s worth taking a look at to attempt to fix your issue on the PC version.

Up to yourself of course, and as always, back up the whatever before you go messing with it...

I got about half way through the fix and gave up. That's why I am playing multi player until the patch comes out (probably next year).

I've given up waiting and redesigned the face. A bit annoying though as the game has distributed all my skill points on my imported character, and auto upgrade is off. I'm left with 12 points. I thought you could distribute all skill points.

Think it just puts the points where they were from the previous game. I did in my case anyway.
