Help. Run ME1 via EA Launcher needs Admin Privileges but won't run.
I download and launch ME1 from the EA Launcher "This game requires administrative privileges. do you want to grant access and launch the game" I click "OK" "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later" I tried running the EA launcher with Admin privileges. I tried running MassEffect.exe as administrator. I've tried repair. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I've tried repair. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. Nothing works. Always the same message. I DID NOT buy it from Steam but from EA (actually Bioware ages ago) Thanks
Mass Effect 1 2007 CD-Ver
Hello, I've been tinkering with an old Pentium 4 machine these last days and wanted to install my Mass Effect 1 CD-ver game on it (Running WinXP, 32-bit). The problem i'm having is when I try to launch the game, it gives an error message saying: "The game can not start. The game needs access to the internet in order to verify ownership of this game. Please ensure that your computer is online and try again" I know for a fact that it is connected to the internet and there is a stable connection, so my only conclusion is that the EA/ME servers for verification has been taken offline. Is there no way to get this game to work on an old XP 32-bit machine? As far as I know support for EA APP/Origin for 32-bit systems has ended, which also makes it impossible to buy through that storefront. Now I know I could just install a 64-bit system, but i'm trying to run it on legacy hardware. Any way to solve the connection/verify issue without having to upgrade to 64-bit?
Achievement not unlocking
I'm playing MELE on PC. Trying to unlock all achievements. The Incineration specialist achievement is marked as 25/25 in game, but is not marked as complete. I play as Infiltrator, so I use incineration a lot. I've even placed squad mates in cover away from battle to make sure they don't interfere with me burning enemy armor. I've tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and restarting my computer, but there has been no changes to the achievement progress. What can I do to unlock this broken achievement?
Mass Effect Legendary Edition needs to come to the Switch 2
With Xbox going down in flames at the current moment, us as gamers really need a positive/win. I think it would be absolutely amazing if EA/Bioware would make the Mass Effect trilogy on the Nintendo Switch 2. I really hope someone over there reads this. With all the negativity going on currently please give us something to have faith in EA/Bioware, doing this game on the Switch 2 would show good faith. Thank you for taking some of your time and reading this and I hope that everyone has a great day or night.
In ME3, I get the Communications Hub mission, but not the Fighter Base mission
So I've done Tuchanka. I've cured the genophage. Everyone is happy with the new alliance, but Traynor only gives me the N7:Communications Hub mission and not the N7:Cerberus Fighter Base mission. I've read online that I mistriggered something to have this happen. Is that the case? Is my game totally messed up? Will I EVER get the fighter base mission? I really like getting the heating unit for the Salarian on the Presidium Commons. Thank you!
Mass Effect Amazon series should be a prequel, not a sequel
It was announced on N7 day that the show being made for Amazon is gonna be taking place after Mass Effect 3. Does anyone else see this as a massive mistake and missed opportunity? With how much we shape the galaxy throughout these games, creating what's effectively gonna be a hard-canon future with the TV show is doomed to a dark place in this series. If anything is gonna take place after ME3, then I want it to import my save and I will accept nothing less. That doesn't mean I'm averse to having a Mass Effect series. In fact, if we got something taking place before ME1, such as the First Contact War and the conflicts with the Batarians, that would be **bleep** awesome. I imagine it mainly following Anderson's perspective (he is the guy that Shepard succeeds, both in role and reputation. As Pressly describes the man, "If he melted down all of his medals, he could build a life-sized gold statue of himself."), but possibly jumping between him and, say Chakwas and Hackett, maybe Jack Harper, and for the Batarian arc then throw Zaeed and Major Kyle into the mix. With a prequel instead of a sequel, we would have an introduction for newcomers rather than an answer that could strongly upset just about everyone. And I mean the introduction thing, because this show is going to attract many non-Mass Effect fans, who may become interested in playing the games. So why in the hell would you spoil the whole **bleep** thing for them? Let the newcomers have their opportunity to go into the games blind, don't ruin it for them.
Achievments not unlocked
Hallo After years I decided to complete the last achievements of ME on Steam. After my great effort, the achievement Insanity 3 did not unlock. Although I finished the game on the highest difficulty. The previous two unlocked normally. The same with ME1 majority of the game. Also everything is completed. Please, what about this? How can I request a fix? I spent dozens of hours on it and then some bug prevents me from doing it
Takes 20 mins to Launch Mass Effect Legendary
Hi there, As the title states, I am taking supremely long to boot up the game. I had just finished LE1 and wanted to start LE2. After finishing the day, I had closed the launcher and went back in to see LE2, and it had taken really long to boot the game. I suspected it had to do with the large save files from LE1. So I followed one of the forums and tested to remove the save files and placed it elsewhere in my computer to check. I was right, once the save files had been taken out, the launcher booted up immediately. Now that I want to port over to LE2, I want to know how to preserve my game files, while wanting to play LE2 (which i can't because of the long load time). One of the errors that the EA launcher error code that shows up often is EC10604. At present I have uninstalled and deleted all mod managers and have preserved a copy of my game files from LE1 I had uninstalled and installed the game several times and the long load time still persists. I had also heavily modded the game. Anyone able to help me please, thank you!
Can't launch Mass Effect 3 (Steam version)
Hey, I can't really get any help from EA help, so this is kind of just a question for someone who knows what they're doing. I cannot launch Mass Effect 3 (purchased from Steam) at all. The main reason why I want to continue playing Mass Effect 3 (instead of LE) is for the multiplayer. I owned it already on Origin/EA app, but I went ahead and bought a Steam copy for achievements and collection sake, but when I try to launch from steam, the EA app just flickers and closes, followed by a "Failed to launch game" error, with a description saying that "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." I have tried many things to try and resolve this, like uninstalling EA app, Steam, and Mass Effect 3 with revo uninstaller and doing clean installs, trying to run everything in administrator, and deleting the 71183.dlf file in the License folder in programdata. One thing that I have discovered is that if I install my old Origin-purchased copy of Mass Effect 3, then I am able to launch that from the EA app just fine. For whatever reason, it seems to be the Steam copy that has this issue. I suppose I could try to refund the Steam copy and just keep using the EA app, but I'd rather have the Steam-related stuff available like the guides and community tab and achievements and such. Could my issue be something to do with EA app getting confused about how I have two Mass Effect 3s? If so, how do I fix it?
