I very rarely preorder games, but I was one of the enthusiastic people who preordered the Super Deluxe Edition ($99.99) on Origin. My line of thinking at the time was essentially, "It's a Mass Effect game, how unpolished could it be?" After being admittedly disappointed with the release quality of the game, I thought I would come back to it later (after it had received updates); basically the same approach I'm taking with Anthem. Mass Effect: Andromeda has been out of sight, out of mind since then. I have a sizable backlog of games to keep me busy. With COVID-19 impacting the environment around me, I have had some time to work my way through some of that backlog. So I installed Mass Effect: Andromeda today. I noticed that the Turian Soldier Multiplayer Recruit Pack and Asari Adept Multiplayer Recruit Pack included with the Deluxe Edition are missing. I contacted help.ea.com to try to understand why the $29.99 (originally $69.99) Deluxe Edition of the game includes the Turian Soldier and Asari Adept Multiplayer Recruit Packs, but the Super Deluxe Edition, which is supposed to include everything the Deluxe Edition does with the addition of some multiplayer bonuses, does not. Even if the packs were added to the Deluxe Edition after launch, I still expect EA to honor my purchase. I was informed that this game, which was released March 21 or 23, 2017 (depending on where you live), is no longer supported by EA as of a few months ago (EA Help Agent: "and few months ago the game is under unsupported games"). I knew that EA had said the game wouldn't receive any more single-player updates, but that's not the same thing as technical support from help.ea.com. This caught me completely off guard and I sought confirmation of this twice during the chat, and according to him, EA no longer supports Mass Effect: Andromeda. I asked him why EA still sells Mass Effect: Andromeda if it isn't supported and asked him how is it that I can add the individual DLC (buy purchasing them) but he doesn't have the system access/authority to add them. He didn't have any concrete answers, other than to say that "to be honest with you no one in EA would be able to add this". What if I had an issue with my purchase of the DLC and I was charged for it but it didn't show up in my account? According to him, there is nothing he could do to add the DLC because the game is unsupported (EA Help Agent: "our team removed the options from here to add the content for it"). I suppose he could refund the purchase, but according to him, he can't add missing content for the game, no one at EA can. He did acknowledge that I was supposed to have received the Turian Soldier and Asari Adept Multiplayer Recruit Packs (EA Help Agent: "The game patch was last updated in which you were supposed to get those contents"). I asked for some other party at EA to contact, which of course I didn't receive. I couldn't even speak with a member of the team he was supposedly consulting with in the background (EA Help Agent: "This is the only platform where you can talk live. Our team are not assigned to handle contacts..."). I told him it was crazy that EA no longer supports a game that is barely three years old, and that it made no sense for the game and DLC to still be sold on Origin (and now Steam) if it can't be supported, but according to him that's the way it is. I don't know how much of his answer I believe (which is often the case with answers from EA Help over the last several years; quality there seems to have really declined since 2014, and it was hit or miss to start with), but this is exactly the type of thing I was talking about when I told a community manager that being an EA customer is like death by a thousand cuts. As I understand it, and I could be completely wrong, different EA customers are supported by different global help centers depending on where you live (e.g. someone in Germany or France, and possibly even someone in an English-majority country other than the US, won't be routed to the same center I am), so maybe help.ea.com doesn't provide a universally bad experience for everyone, but the help.ea.com resource I have access to is nearly worthless.SolvedCantiras20 hours agoHero (Retired)5.6KViews2likes14CommentsMass Effect 1 - Legendary Edition - X Box Series X - Can't switch weapons?
Mass Effect 1 - Legendary Edition on X Box Series X -- Can't switch weapons, stuck on rifle with scope. I go into the wheel and select a weapon, then hit B to back out and when I start playing again, I still have the rifle with scope. I saw this issue on some message boards, but nobody has a fix. Understanding I am a new player of an old game, I understand if I don't hear back..... but I must know.... has anyone else seen this? Can anyone help me fix? I am selecting the weapon correctly. It is a bug. How do I get it fixed? Thanks, RyanMeatHelmet91942 days agoRising Newcomer18Views1like1CommentInteresting concept for devs/modders to explore

System: PC Windows 10 Purchased on Steam Latest EA App Version 13.482.0.5995 I recently reinstalled Legendary Edition to replay the trilogy and no matter what I try I cannot get my controller to connect (I have PS5 and a generic xbox controller). I remember playing with controller just fine back in 2021 and the best I can find online is that this seems to be an ongoing issue with the EA App itself. I bought the game on steam, I have adjusted every possible controller setting on there. I have tried adding EADesktop as a non-steam game, and that does show the controller in the Legendary menu, but once I boot up ME1 it no longer shows any controller options. If anyone has any other work arounds to try that would be great!annej993 days agoSeasoned Newcomer37Views0likes3CommentsPC version: Taking screenshots in cutscenes (without Photo Mode)
I've searched for a solution, but have found no answer to my problem. So I'm hoping someone here can help me. Coming from the original ME trilogy, I was used to being able to take screenshots in cutscenes (I think just by hitting the print screen, but I'm not completely sure, it's been a while). Now I've decided to take my main Shepard (and possibly many more) through this new legendary edition, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to take screenshots like I did in the original versions. I know about the new photo mode, I've tried it and it works. But I want to take screenshots in cutscenes too and from what I've read, photo mode does not work in cutscenes (understandably, it would be weird and very unimmersive to cut up a cutscene). So, could anyone please tell me how to take screenshots in cutscenes? Many thanks in advance!Solved3.1KViews0likes5Comments[PC] Mass Effect Legendary Won't Open ME 1 from Launch Screen
I've been playing MELE for years, and I replay it frequently. Yesterday I finished ME 3 and today decided to restart the series with ME 1 and try importing my ME 3 character to see if it would keep the same weapons I had. Probably not, but why not try. I purchased the game on Steam and usually start the game by double clicking the icon on my desktop. Today, I started the game and got to the launch screen. I clicked 'Start" on ME 1 and it started with the graphic and music, but instead of opening ME 1 it seemed to get stuck on that screen, then it flashed a couple of times and sent me back to the launch screen. I tried several times, even tried restarting my computer. I also tried opening it from Steam, and also from the EA app. Same problem. Also, sometimes it kicks me all the way out to the launch screen, and when I reopen it and click on ME 1 it just goes to a blue screen and faintly shows the New Game, etc on the upper right hand side, then it crashes. The video I attached shows that scenario. I tried repairing the game in Steam, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, nothing worked. I've played this game flawlessly for years. This is so strange. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.Solved45Views0likes4CommentsMass Effect Andromeda Missing Online Access

Hello, maybe about a week ago I was going to respec my Turian Soldier, unfortunately, being so used to using the X key on my keyboard all over multiplayer for other things, this time around I accidentally pressed X and then Space quickly, rather than V followed by Space. So instead of using "Respec power points", I accidentally "Reset level" instead. Resulting in that I put my Turian Soldier back to level 1, which in and off it's self is not that bad of a thing since I would just have to level the character up again, which is fine. The problem however is that when I went to add the starting skill points to the Turian Soldiers skills I noticed I did not have the same amount of skill upgrades that I normally do with a character that is "level 1, Rank XX, Veteran Bonus: Tier 10". Normally such a character (level 1, rank XX, Veteran Tier 10), has 25 points to use from the start, which you can use to max one power to rank 6, and a second power to 3 (assuming you add said skill points to one of the three powers that start with 1 in them already). But after using my points I had one power at 6, and then 1 remaining skill point, meaning I was missing 4 skill points. I thought that was strange, so I used a "Respec power points" to see if it was just a bug and that I would get back those 4 missing skill points. But after the respec I could now see that I had 21 skill points, and not the 25 that I should have. At this point I wondered if this was maybe something to do with using "Reset level" on the character (which I had never used before), and thought that maybe if I leveled the character back up to level 20 I might get those 4 missing points back. So that is what I did, I leveled the character up to 20 over the next 2-3 days, but when all was said and done, My Turian Soldier (at level 20, rank XX, veteran bonus Tier 10), did not have a skill rank of 6/6/1/6/6, but rather 6/6/1/6/5 and with 2 skill points remaining, meaning I was still missing 4 skill points to raise the last skill to rank 6. At this point I started to google around online to try and find information about this. But most replies to this problem/bug that I could find are all about 6+7 years old, and most of which said they thought that bug had been fixed with a "recent" update to the game. Also found that the bug may have had something to do with reseting a characters level that had unused skill points (which was not the case for me, I had used all points for the Turian Soldier before my accidental level reset). And then there seems to be a huge gap of little to no information for several years. I have found some very select few replies/messages/etc that are from the last 1-2 years (think one on this specific site), but none of them have had any replies to them that would lead to any answer to if there is a way to fix this currently, or had no replies at all what so ever. And also, just to be sure, I did verify the games files (I own the game on Steam), and it came back 100% ok. After that, since the weekend was almost here, I decided to try and use those last 2 points to increase the rank 1 skill to rank 2, to have 0 remaining skill points, and deliberately used a "Reset Level" on my Turian Soldier again, to put them back down to level 1, and hope that the bug would go away due to this. But unfortunately after that level reset he still only had 21 skill points rather than 25, and after once again leveling him up to level 20 he was still missing 4 skill points to max him out to 66166, and when again using a normal "Respec power points" at this point he has a total of 78 skill points when he should have 82. I again have been googling around today to see if I maybe missed something, missed a solution, but I have not seemed to be able to find one. So I have then spent time here on EA's page to try and find a solution, which I have not found any either. I have then looked to see if I could contact support about this somehow, but all the info I can find on how to do that will just send me through loops on the website to places where in the end only keeps pointing me back to this particular "Answer HQ" community forum to ask for help here. The closest EA Help option for this problem "I need help restoring my progress in my game" has neither an option to Chat with someone, or send an email about it, and just points me to this place, the Answers HQ. So... here I am asking about this bug. Asking if anyone knows any way to fix this, to get back the 4 missing skill points for my Turian Soldier? Or if anyone know how to actually get in contact with someone at EA in support that could maybe help with this. I know this is just one multiplayer character with this missing skill point thing for me, where I can play a all other available characters who have all the skill points they are supposed to. But, the Turin Soldier is one of the characters I play the most, probably the second most, and it would be a shame and a bit annoying to have to stop playing said character in higher difficulty matches due to this, since this is the only multiplayer character which has both Fortify and Turbocharge at the same time, which is the reason I like to play this character. I also added three images of my Turian Soldier: Image nr 1: Is after I used "Reset level" deliberately the second time, to see if I could maybe get back the missing skill points that way, which did not work as you can see. Image nr 2: Is after I had leveled the character up to level 20 again to see if that gave back the points, but again as you can see it did not. Image nr 3: Is after I used a "Respec power points" after hitting 20 to see what would happen, and again even though he is level 20, and rank XX, he is still missing 4 skill points. Based on everything I am seeing here with this, is that this bug seems to be connected to the rank of the character somehow, due to that the character is missing those 4 skill points even when they are at level 1 rank XX (having only 21 skill points instead of 25).1.4KViews0likes17Comments- 34Views0likes1Comment

However, whenever I try to launch the game through GeForce Now, the EA app gives me this error: Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later.

Problem starting ME Legends on both Steam and Origin
Long drawn out story sorry.... Mass Effect Legendary series: 1. Try to play using Steam - about 5-6 seconds after it starts loading (displays Game Running) it goes back to Play. Tried to launch game more than once and still get the same thing happening. Went to Steam discussions for the Game and tried to do what was mentioned there about clearing the download cache. Steam restarts successfully but problem stil exists. Another suggestion on Steam discussions was to launch the game directly from Origin. 2. Went to Origin (outwith Steam) and selected Game Library and tried to run ME Legends. Screen with Play button comes up - click on Play and a few seconds later the Play button is greyed out and then Origin throws me back to my Home page. Tried this several times with the same results - hoping you might have a cure - thanks in advance610Views1like5CommentsApex companion app not showing up in app store
