@holger1405 , @EA_Shepard
The EA App malfunctioned badly, and now I can't get any of the Mass Effect games working. Prior efforts found in this thread, pages 5 and 6:

- Go here.
- Download the EA app installer.
- Run the Installer > You should get a message that the App is already installed and a repair option.
- Repair EA app
- Restart the PC. (A real "Restart", not just shut down and start again.)
Okay, downloaded a fresh copy of the EA app from the link you provided, used it to repair the EA app, and restarted.
Now my EA app version number is 13.280.0.5793 (87530-6f88c68a10) - it's different, so SOMETHING must have changed.
However, still get 'This app hasn't released yet' when I try to launch ME1. ☹️
Your system time is set correctly?
Even if, try to re-sync the system clock as described in this post.Restart the system > Test.
If that is still not helping, Create a new Windows user account (Administrator) don't use local special characters, use only Characters from the ASCII table
- Reboot > Log in to the new user account.
- Test.
Have you tried logging in and starting games on another PC?
I re-synced my system time to time.nist.gov and restarted.
ME1 still gave me the 'This game hasn't released yet' error.
So I created a new admin user and logged in as that user.
At this point I was completely unable to start EA app no matter what I did, so here I am again.
(sigh) Does this mean I have to delete my C partition again?
Unfortunately I don't have access to another computer, but thank you for the suggestion.
Okay, I've deleted my C partition, made a new one, formatted, and am now back in Windows.
Downloading and installing EA app... done.
Downloading ME1... done.
Launching ME1...
UNBELIEVABLE !!
I just got done reinstalling Windows - haven't even installed antivirus or registered with Microsoft yet - and ME1 is giving me ANOTHER 'This game hasn't released yet' error!
I now firmly believe this is NOT my fault. If it <was> my fault, ME1 would be working right now. And if it was a hardware issue, ME2 and ME3 would refuse to launch as well.
Yeah, as said in post #16, it is most probably a bug in EA app.
I noticed that EA App was updated yesterday.
However, when I try to launch ME1, I am, still getting failures; specifically, 'Failed to launch game' errors.
Guess it's one step forward, two steps back. Argh.
