Re: Mass Effect Andromeda Not Launching Through EA Play

Hi,

does not. I have Andromeda via EA Play subscription, not purchased via Origin.

Anyway I resolved the issue by myself. If somebody would have same issue just setup MassEffectAndromeda.exe properties to run under Administrator privileges and in Window 7 compatibility mod (tried Vista SP2 worked as well).

MassEffectAndromeda.exe can be found in Folder:

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Mass Effect Andromeda

For any reason my old saves won't work anymore but that's not big deal as just played 5h, only.

From time to time has a DX11 crash, this issue has in before, as well. Any idea what could cause this crashes?

Have Radeon 5700, latest Adrenalin driver, gpu and cpu isn't OC'd, W10Pro 20H2, updated.

    What crashes is the app and it just does not work on windows 10 or 11, many have tried and wasted their time. Play it on Xbox cloud free. No mods but no aggravation. You will get a message blaming your 8gb sli video cards, when it crashes, then you will see the app crashed and all the hours you put in unable to load any of the games. If they cared, they would include a launcher with the game. Not through an outdated crappy app. Don't reconfigure your computer and trash it for a game that you can play online with XBOX cloud.

    Andromeda works flawless for me on Windows 11, as it did on Windows 10.  Jfyi.


    But because this is an old thread that's been inactive for over 2 years, I am going to lock it to prevent necro-posting.


    Feel free to create a new thread if you have a qestion.
