Missing Online Entitlements Access.
EA Support Agents directed me to post to this forum so that a community manager can perhaps assist. I have encountered the missing online access message since purchasing ME: Andromeda Deluxe on Steam. It was linked to my EA Play account, and it shows "Deluxe Edition access through steam". The online functionality has never worked since purchasing the game through steam. I've opened Cases wwith EA support, posted on this forum last year, ME: Andromeda Deluxe edition PC/Steam: Missing Online Access | EA Forums - 12213510 but this issue has yet to be resolved. It seems to me an issue with an Online Entitlements conflict in my EA Play library. That is only based on reading many many threads here and across the internet about this issue. I opened a support case yesterday #257482870 and after some back and forth was told that Steam has disabled the game. But that doesn't appear possible but I reached out to steam support and they confirmed that they cannot modify EA Play entitlements. I spoke again today with a support agent and after some time they stated they could not assist me and that I should post on this forum again so that the EA Team of community managers can look into this issue. So here's the post, hopefully a community manager can and will be able to assist.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition individual download option
please let us the games individually from the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. There's just no way I can have 100+ gigs of free space on my PC. It'll let me play the game right away. Steam will you pick options so easily. Please look into it. Thank you.EA App won't launch ME Andromeda after moving installation folder
Hi all, posting here at a customer care adviser's suggestion in hopes someone will know how to fix this. Long story short, the EA App won't let Steam (or me) launch ME Andromeda after I used Steam's inbuilt tool to move the game's installation folder to another drive due to lack of space in the original drive. Most of the time it throws up the attached error, although on occasion it instead says it's an issue on EA's end. The game shows as installed on Steam but not on the EA App. Have wasted several hours and tried multiple steps without any of them working as detailed in case number #257891247 - or I can provide a chat transcript if easier. Windows 10 PC, the game was launching and working just fine until the installation folder move. Nobody else uses the device and I don't have any other EA accounts. Have tried the following steps multiple times: uninstalling and reinstalling both the game and the EA app, updating and repairing the app, clearing the app cache, verifying and re-linking the Steam installation path, verifying file integrity on Steam, downloading a different game on the app, clearing AppData registry conflicts, restarting my PC, resetting the EA Background Service, and a couple more things. Would be tremendously grateful for any help!
I am willing to pay double - Renew Mass Effect
I'll pay what ever you need for the game. If that's what you need to hear to get this game renewed and get back to work - Get going. Don't end an era of the best story telling in digital arts to focus on the younger generation with Starwars. #MillenialsMatterMass Effects future for games.
Story and Narrative: - Emotional character depth and life: Give Companions and key characters strong personalities, meaningful dialogue, and genuine emotional arcs that players connect with - Iconic music and timing: Bring back memorable and emotionally resonant music that hits at the right moments to elevate key scenes like the leaving of earth for example. - Preserving fan favorite species: Do not sideline or remove major races like Quarians and Geth. They are deeply loved and should play significant roles. - Memorable Environments: Deliver visually striking and intriguing locations similar to the collector ship (ME2) , Geth ship (ME3) , and Earth battlefield (ME3). These moments help make the universe feel alive and cinematic. - Replayability and Motivation: Maintain a strong branching of outcomes based on relationships and player choices. Inspiring speeches and moments that motivate players and encourage multiple play throughs or increase that rich cinematic experience. - Cinematics: Keep the original Huge war cutscenes with future games like the space battle on ME3 were amazing to see and really make the games shine. Future Features: - Playable Alien/Customization: Allow players to create and play as customizable Asari,Turian,Krogan,Geth, or Quarian characters in the campaign. This would be an incredible way to deepen immersion and let fans live out their own stories in the Mass effect universe but stay true to lore and story. - Multiplayer return: The mass effect 3 multiplayer was one of the best co-op modes of its era bringing it back - with meaningful progression tied to single player galaxy (Similar to the original asset contribution system and difficulty tiers) Would be a very well received by the community. Character Design direction: - Male characters: We want clear Confident masculinity: Rugged,Athletic, and imposing builds that feel powerful and capable - Examples of successful fan favorites from other franchises: Leon,Dom,Marcus,Master chief they are battle hardened veterans or heroic champions who dominate the battlefield in presence and physicality. - Female characters: We want them to embody stylized glamour and visual appeal beautiful,sexy, and athletic designs that serve as eye candy without crossing into explicit or nude territory. They should be feminine, attractive, and aspirational. Strong and capable while remaining visually striking and appealing in classic action game tradition. Examples from other franchises: Lara croft, Sheva , Claire, Jill , etc... Optional / Bonus : Adding mod tools and cross play. Campaign edits or private multiplayer lobbies for maps/game modes would make it a forever game. Examples: Arma , Minecraft , Skyrim, etc... making the ultimate sandbox. I believe this would Make Mass effect super successful and I tried to keep it as professional as possible along with modern wording. Anyone who supports this post and shares it thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really do want to help improve gaming from how it shifted over the years. If the company listens to this thank you so much as well. I tried to word this as professional as I could. - Keelah Se'lai .Continue Mass Effect
We the fans want the Ip to continue on and are trying our best in hopes you all at EA will. We really don't want to see it be sitting not having anything being done.. The community is trying to offer solutions. We are trying to show you all at EA that this does not have to be the end of Mass effect. Bio ware we understand was not what it was years ago. https://www.change.org/p/savemasseffect
EA, please reconsider canceling Mass Effect: Universe
I just watched the leaked Mass Effect: Universe trailer, and it made me genuinely excited about Mass Effect again. It looked like a worthy successor to the original trilogy in a way Andromeda never did for me. Knowing development has stopped makes seeing that potential incredibly frustrating. What really got me was Liara. Seeing an older Liara, still actively involved in the story, is exactly the kind of continuity I wanted. Time has passed, but the people and events we cared about still matter. I love that sense of a persistent universe with a history, and I want to see what comes next. I also really liked the character designs, including the beautiful women. Attractive characters, strong personalities, memorable relationships, and a great science-fiction setting can all belong in the same game. That combination was part of the original trilogy’s appeal for me. I understand this was early footage, not a finished game. A promising trailer doesn’t tell us how much work remained. I’m asking EA to reconsider and give this project the support and development time it needs to become a complete game. Losing BioWare is bad enough. Seeing a glimpse of a Mass Effect sequel I actually wanted, then knowing it may never be released, makes it worse. Please reconsider. I want to experience this next chapter, not just watch a trailer for what could have been.Mass Effect: Legacy — The Epilogue Shepard Deserves
What if, instead of another reboot or another story that leaves the original crew behind, we got a story-driven DLC featuring a veteran Commander Shepard, 10–15 years after the Reaper War? The next Mass Effect game could follow a new protagonist investigating mysterious dark energy anomalies, drawing inspiration from Drew Karpyshyn’s early concepts for the Reaper storyline. Meanwhile, a separate expansion could let us step into Shepard’s boots once again — an experienced veteran who saved the galaxy, but must now confront the consequences of that victory. Imagine the return of Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, alongside the characters we grew attached to throughout the original trilogy. Most importantly, the story would respect the player’s choices in Mass Effect 3 rather than dismissing the sacrifices made in its ending. Different outcomes could be acknowledged, with Shepard’s return handled in a way that feels earned rather than forced. This wouldn’t be about nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It would be about meaningful science fiction exploring freedom, coexistence, sacrifice, and the price of saving an entire galaxy. We’re not asking for old characters to return forever. We just want to know what happened to the people we spent an entire trilogy fighting alongside. Would you play Mass Effect: Legacy?
missing online access
so i have mass effect andromeda on steam i havent played for a long while but anytime i try to connect this is what i get i tried following every troubleshooting step but this seems to be something i cannot fix on my end and i need a tech agent to please assist me with this i want to play the multiplayer but i've had no luck so farBioware, EA, and Archetype
Before EA purchased Bioware the company focused heavily on obtaining and retaining the best in their fields to develop the Mass Effect franchise. EA's business and employment practices (as well as a lack of obsession & knowledge over the original trilogy) led to Andromeda's failure. Since then, Archetype Entertainment has come about with many of the original project leaders from Mass Effect. I don't care that you've decided to shut down Bioware. From a business perspective, it makes sense... But for the sake of the art and the people, I beg you to consider giving or selling Mass Effect, specifically, and possibly other Bioware original games prior to your purchase of it, back to Archetype Entertainment. Please?
Mass effect 5
Dear EA team, As a longtime Mass Effect fan, I am deeply disappointed by the cancellation of the next game. For six years, fans have been given teasers and reassurances that the project was moving forward. To abandon it now, without clear explanations or a plan for another studio to continue development, feels deeply disrespectful to the community. I understand that projects face challenges, but fans deserve transparency and more consideration after years of anticipation. Why was the game cancelled? Was another studio ever considered? And what future does EA have planned for the Mass Effect franchise? Mass Effect means far more to its fans than just another video game. I hope EA will take our concerns seriously and give this beloved universe the future it deserves. Kind regards, A longtime Mass Effect fan
Save Mass Effect
Mass Effect holds a special place in the hearts of millions of players worldwide. Its rich and immersive sci-fi universe, with Commander Shepard leading the iconic crew aboard the Normandy, has captivated gamers for years. However, recent revelations have cast a shadow over its future. The decline in dedicated resources and ambiguous development plans from Electronic Arts (EA) threaten to leave this beloved series at a standstill, jeopardizing its incredible legacy. Fans around the globe have invested thousands of hours exploring the galaxy, forming deep connections with its multifaceted characters and compelling storylines. It is a franchise that has transcended the typical gamer experience, creating a community that advocates for choice, individuality, and shared adventure. The potential cessation of new developments in this universe is a devastating prospect not only for fans but for the diversity of narrative-driven games as a whole. Therefore, we are urgently petitioning EA to take decisive action by committing to the continued development of Mass Effect. This commitment requires proper funding, adequate staffing, and time allocation to maintain and advance the high standards the franchise is known for. Alternatively, EA could consider licensing the Mass Effect intellectual property (IP) to another studio that shares the passion and vision to keep it alive and allow it to flourish anew. Both solutions offer a way forward. By ensuring the ongoing expansion and enhancement of the Mass Effect universe, EA would not only preserve a cherished piece of gaming history but also continue to contribute to the cultural and emotional impact it has on gamers worldwide. Join us in this mission to secure the future of the Mass Effect universe by signing and sharing this petition. Let's prominently illustrate to EA the significance of this iconic series and our collective demand for its continued journey across the stars. Sign today and keep the spirit of exploration alive!
Will you kill our beloved Mass Effect, or sell the IP?
Good tidings, I am a ME player since the 2010s who signed a petition by a fellow fan. I hope that you show mercy on this IP instead of doing what you always do when you shut down studios or give games as fate, like Titanfall for instance. I like most if not every N7 and Pathfinder want this IP to be alive and well, frankly, if you did decide to kill Mass Effect, we'd just resurrect it as a major middle finger to that choice if my calculation is correct. This IP has been more than a game to us, it has been there for us when reality brings nothing and we just want a sweet release into science-fiction at its absolute best, if it makes any sense to say that about a game that had more of a soul than other games from many developers and studios, even if BioWare started to be too politically challenged by going woke with Veilguard. You could've let them finish the last Mass Effect we were hyped for, even if it would've been a risk for you to keep BW going. The video a developer of the last thing we saw on Reddit and now on many ME related YouTube channels, were amazed at seeing the progress made and saddened knowing you took our hope away from seeing BioWare hopefully redeeming themselves from the **bleep**show that was Veilguard. If you decide to sell the ME IP, sell it to a good studio like Bethesda or CD Projekt Red, at least we all could sleep well knowing Mass Effect is in great hands, Who have experience with good storytelling in games like TES and Witcher. If you decide to keep it alive with one of your studios it might be a relief it stays with people who might know the lore well enough, but Keelah! Do not kill Mass Effect like you killed Titanfall and other games you've made. It deserves the life it has, rather than seeing what AI slop found its way into Battlefield and the amount of BS we have to pay for in the Sims, that doesn't really have a reason to cost the amount it is labeled after you made the Sims 4 free to play. Mass Effect deserves to still be a thing, we would be honored for it to not be doomed. I will gladly listen to an EA employee's opinion on the matter and their standpoint. This means a lot to all of us who got to enjoy every crewmember from Kaidan and Ash, to Javik and Tali in the original three. Vetra will always have a special place in my heart in Andromeda with her quotes or the Angaran people. There's so much you or possible buyers of the IP can do to make everything more interesting. For example Canonize that Rannoch ended with Legion making the Geth friendly with the Quarians and Tali survived that ordeal instead of one of the Rannoch endings where she leaps of a cliff and the Quarians on Rannoch removing their envirosuits to feel the air of their homeworld. Maybe more RPG elements such as the possibility to play as different species and humans with any playstyle you'd like. Quarian Biotics would be an example I enjoy thinking of, or Turian Engineers. It would be more interesting to see what concepts this could lead to and I know you EA employees did see progress on the Mass Effect you pulled the plug on and shut down BW instead of letting giving them this chance even if it'd be a risk. Gaming is built on taking risks, every developer knows that, every studio knows it very **bleep** well.
