ME 1 LE minimizes to desktop after launch
hi everyone! yesterday i re-installed MELE and played ME1 for a couple of hours with no issues. today I restarted it, but it keeps minimizing to desktop after launch. I already tried everything i found online, but there's no way to make it run properly again. my save folder is on my local disk, not on onedrive, and always has been there since i still have the last run's saved games i tried to move the save folder to desktop but nothing changed setting the game priority to high didn't change anything i tried spam-pressing alt+enter to force borderless windowed mode when ME1 starts, but nothing happened I can't manually change it because my gamesettings file doesn't show but three lines that have nothing to do with fullscreen: [AppCompat] CompatLevelComposite=5 CompatLevelCPU=5 CompatLevelGPU=5 running the game in admin mode had no effect i closed any background apps to no avail nvidia experience doesn't interfere because it says that MELE can't be optimised from there i don't remember having any issues the last time I played, and in the meantime the only thing that changed is that I updated to Windows 11. any other option? i'm not a ME1 hater, so I'd rally love to play the trilogy from the beginning and make my own choices. and by the way it's insane that I paid full price when MELE came out, but after all this time the same issues still persist.
[INFO] Mass Effect LE - Common Game Fixing Mods
Hey there, We know that many of you enjoy using Mods to help shape and change the game in different ways and you are aware that here on EA Forums we have a standing rule that links for Mods are a no-go. This rule is not changing. But we have recognized that some Mods have become standard go-tos for fixing some smaller game issues that have not been addressed so far, and that it has been frustrating to both community members and our Heroes not to be allowed to share them here. With this being said, we have given permission for this thread to be here because we are hoping that it will help you, our players, to play. It will be maintained by our Heroes to house links to mods that they support as solutions to common game issues. To affirm: EA, BioWare, and the Community team have not verified these mods, their safety to your PC, or game. We encourage you to use safe practices when downloading and utilizing any Mod from any location by using appropriate anti-virus/anti-malware tools and checks.
[Steam] Unable To Launch Mass Effect Legendary Edition
I recently bought Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Steam, It automatically linked to my old EA account, and whenever I try to open it through steam, it automatically opens EA and I have to run it through there. This is not a problem, I just want to play the game. Except that it refuses to launch and comes up with the message "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Please try again later." I have been trying for 2 days, and contacted support on help.ea.com, and they told me to come here. See screenshot attached for error message.
[Steam] Game is Not Validating File When Launching
So I've been trying to fix this for 3 days now, or maybe 4 idk. point is every time i try to launch MELE through steam it just doesn't launch. it verifies the integrity of the files and then..... nothing. I've tried multiple solutions from reinstalling at least 4 separate times now, to moving the install location of steam, the EA app, and MELE all to the same drive (thanks EA btw for not letting me choose where to install the app really making gamers feel like we're the last people you think about when using any of your products) none of which have worked. Only thing I haven't tried is using a different network which like, my network has a very good connection I don't see what the problem would be there. All I ever get when I try to launch is just the EA app saying it's "preparing game..." and then steam validates the game files and.... nothing. When steam gets to 100% on the file validation it stops and the game doesn't launch. then i try to launch the game again and the exact same thing happens. Any help would be appreciated maybe even oh idk EA and every other game company not trying to make its own launcher that you HAVE to use even when you buy on steam so that these problems can stop happening. ahh but that's an idealistic world that won't happen until EA pulls its head out of its investors * and starts being an actually good company again.
I can't run the game and EA Help chat is disabled
I'm having trouble running my game. Problems that I think I caused by accident. My initial story comes from here ( https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-Legendary-Edition/PC-HELP-EA-App-won-t-let-me-Download-Install-Execute-MELE/m-p/14332596#M18730 ). After this the game was perfect until yesterday. I was trying to unlock an achievement that is apparently bugged because I read about bugs with that everywhere. Someone on a forum suggested that they had found the solution by clearing the EA app cache to leave the record of your achievements at zero. I think whatever Christine (the EA Help chat operator who initially solved my problem) did, I accidentally deleted it. The game did not run again. Steam opens it without problems but EA blocks any possibility of it running. The error message has no code or anything like that. It only says "that there is a technical error that prevents the game from starting" (image attached). I urgently need to contact someone (preferably someone with the same willingness to help me and solve the problem that that last operator had) to help me in EA Help, BUT the options to chat with an operator disappeared from the page. "CHAT WITH US" is simply no longer there. I tried opening the page with other browsers. I tried to change the topic. I tried the "Resume case" option. I tried other languages. NOTHING From one moment to the next it was no longer possible to communicate directly with EA Help. What is happening??? Thanks in advance for the help.
[EA app] ME3 crashes to the desktop after loading to the main menu
Basically the title. If I launched the game via the EA app, it'll crash after loading to the main menu, which has never happened before with Origin since 2012 on 3 different laptops. After loading to the main menu, I see "You connected to the EA servers" message, the galaxy at war map pop up, and then the game is crashing without any error having shown. It's like the Alt+F4 keys have been pressed.
[PC] ME3 MP Crashing to Desktop While in Game Session
My game keeps crashing to Desktop after playing either 5-10 minutes or getting to wave 4-10. the only way that seems to be the fix is if I stay in a lobby with the same people, but that doesn't last long. I've tried multiple "fixes", but I want to get behind actually stopping it for good or severely minimizing the issue. I've tried setting the affinity for Masseffect3.exe in TM to cores 0 & 1; reinstalling the game; verifying game files (on Steam (bought on Steam), idk how to do it on EA). I don't want to have to download a mod to fix it, I would love to figure out what the problem is first to mitigate to my friends who are getting it on Thursday. P.S. Holger1405 if you see this, please try to break down all the technical terms for me, I'm not as computer literate as I thought (seen your other posts you've answered) Specs: HP OMEN 16 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H 2.50 GHz 32.0 GB RAM (16 originally, but upgraded for SC) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPUMass Effect 3 Multiplayer Loot Crate Weapons & Character Collecting Rate
I returned to playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, after a several year lapse, and there's still a lot of folks playing, which is great! Have you all considered making the simple tweak of increasing the rate at which characters and weapons show up in loot boxes? It would really stimulate the player-base, once again. It's frustrating to have been playing for the better part of 13 years, but still having a Cerberus Harrier IV, for example. Cheers[EA app] Mass Effect Legendary Edition not showing
Some time ago I got Mass Effect Legendary edition. I recently installed the EA Desktop app and was ready to reinstall it only to find it isn't in my list of games, despite it showing up quite clearly in the Origin app, and the fact it is for sale from the EA Desktop app. I'd appreciate this being fixed so I can get rid of the Origin app.EA App - Missing Online Access.
I used to have the subscription active (the game itself is purchased) and now I can't access the multiplayer anymore. I reached out to support but they just gave me a * network connectivity troubleshooting link and said they can't help me... how do I actually get to play this game that I paid for?
[PC] Muffled Voices and Sound Issues
While playing mass effect 2 le I noticed that sometimes everyone’s voices were muffled heavily along with some of the other sounds but not always while closing and opening the game usually helps it still is annoying cause it happens almost every time i play it also makes the cutscenes unberable i am using headphones connected to a monitor and audio settings are set to stereo i am playing on pc so thanfully it doesn't take long for me to boot it up againEa Assets of Frontier Games's Elite Dangerous are showing their age.
EA Assets of Frontier Game's Elite Dangerous as well As Mass Effect Legendary Edition Are showing their age literally. Technologically outdated and Technologically Redundant Xbox 360 Master Assets And Master-Files and The Original Legacy Xbox Master-Files and Master_Assets as well as other Legacy Game Master-Files and Master-Assets still have that 2D flat square or rectangular look as well as the lighting and computer lights are supposed to blink and fluctuate in a random rhythmic pattern. Well It is true, that Elite Dangerous Utilizes the Original Mass Effect 3 map, as well as Assets from Star Wars: TNOR as well as other Star Wars Games, it would take a massive joint effort to remaster Elite Dangerous as well as at the same time create a remastered update for Series X which I own. The file update is code named De Lorean_1.0.162.1548_x64_zwks512sysnyr With this new possible (Series X remaster and update ),please fix the bugs as well as add in Pinnacle Station DLC and In Mass Effect 2, with All NG+ save files if you are a soldier you can take all of the advanced weapons over the course of 4 NG+ restarts as well as integrating all research and fuel cell capacity to Mass Effect 3 and this time use the whole map and also add in the Collector Weapons to Mass Effect 3 Story Mode and everything you did in Mass Effect 2 rolls over to Mass Effect 3 Save Importer and can also take the Widow and Claymore from the Derilict Ship Cerberus was studying if you missed them OR TOOK A DIFFERENT WEAPON AND YOU CAN ALSO TAKE THE WEAPONS EVEN IF YOU LEARNED AN ADVANCED SKILL IN Mass Effect 2.
Do you also think the multiplayer characters suck?
Having played more ME3 multiplayer hours than I care to count I can honestly say that the current selection of multiplayer characters are quite disappointing. They are all very similar with an ineffective spread of powers. Given the context of ME3, with the galaxy ending and all I can understand that the selection of N7 operatives are wider but there are so many missing class types and weapons. I think the fact that there are not as many powers/tech abilities as in ME3 and the very limited weapons also contributes. I say limited weapons as there are very few weapons that are truly effective and uniqe (lots of useless-feeling weapons such as all Assault Rifles) so all these aspects together feels like there are very limited characters that are actually effective in the mix. I, for example, can solo bronze with my human vanguard and infiltrator but the other characters feel quite under-powered and as though I just can't connect with them. I do hope that this gets better with DLC as I suspect they will be adding additional characters but damn do I miss my N7-shadow with her executioner pistol :/ My opinion...still is fun to play but yeah..
