Re: How to get Mass Effect 3 to work on Windows 8.1???

I play ME3 already 2 years with the notebook from Win 8 Preview to 8.1 Update. Standard run - no XP Mode or "Run as admin"
x64. Intel i5/4 Gb RAM/GeForce GT540M 1 Gb - no problem. Check your system.

    Computer is still pretty much a brand new computer.  I have updated my video drivers.  Apparently ME3 doesn't like my PC.  

  • I, too, have been running ME3 on Win8 (Preview (all), Public Release, and 8.1) with no issues.  I mean literally, NO. ISSUES.

    So something is going on with your install/configuration, but Win8.1 isn't the problem.  😕mileysurprised:

    I don't know what the issue could be.  I have tried downloading Origin from EA's website.  I have disabled my anti virus, tried to optimized my graphics using GeForce Experience.  All drivers from Nvida have been downloaded.  When I click on my shortcut from my desktop or from Origin nothing happens.  The first time I installed it however it started to work and I plugged in my headset.  There was a roaring sound and the computer froze. No error messages.

    If I can't get it to work I guess I'll have to go get a copy and play on a console.  What I don't understand is that Star Wars The Old Republic works just fine with this computer.
