Mass Effect 2 most horrible bug 3: broken eyelids on Shepard

[Blín D'ñero]

I have just format/reinstalled Windows 7; now in the process of configuring it.
Later i will install only ME2 *(not ME1) and see if the bugged eye is in the game by default.

Installed the game. Only Mass Effect 2 installed (and the DLC). Creating a New Face and yes, confirmed: the bug is in the game by default!

The eye shape second from the right isn't flawless either:



under the pupils, between the hairs in the lower lashes you see the eyeball-whiteish cracks.
Move Eye Depth to the far left to eliminate it...
That's what i'm using now and ingame it is completely fine too. So i'm happy with what i created now.

But still:
Come on Bioware: the game is so beautiful! style and aesthetics being one of its key points, you take pride in, you can't leave the tool in this state!

So the Eye Shape second from the right, with Eye Depth ruler to the far left turns out 100% OK ingame. That's what i went using and i was happy with it.

All good and that, but i also DO want my ME1 career imported.
So this what happens then:

1. I started a new game, this time with "import ME1 save".
   This is the result, the imported Shepard:
   
   It just so happens that my ME1 Shepard has the eyes from the "Eye Shape" ruler to the far right, the broken ones!
2. So then let's just avoid the imported Shepard face. Only keep the career, and rebuild the face with the better eye shape (slider to the left); following the code i already have...
   Oddly, that causes the lashes to vanish from the tool alltogether. The eyes are good but where are the lashes?!
   
   And cycling through the presets, suddenly none of them have lashes either.
   
   Even the default Shepard hasn't any.
   
3. I started all over again then. I have the code for my ideal Shepard so that's no problem, but it all is so timeconsuming....
   It didn't change: with an imported save, all eyelashes just vanish from the tool.
4. I launched the game to see what happens and ingame Shepard still had no lashes.
   
5. Then i EXITED the game, and REBOOTED the PC.
   RESUME Game, and then the lashes reappeared!
   
   

Finally, i can enjoy my game with a corrected Shepard face with bugfree eyes, AND an imported ME1 career.
