And just like that, we should have a fix in place. Those of you who are impacted by this, can you right click on your game tile and click Repair Game? You should be asked to download ~600 megs of extra data. If you're not, please let me know.
Thanks!
Community AdminI definitely wouldn't recommend that. I've gotten word that they're homing in on a resolution and this should be fixed soon*.
Once it's fixed, you will need to run a repair and the relevant files should be downloaded. Right-click the game panel in Origin to get the repair option.
*Unfortunately we can't give an exact timeframe. I understand that this is frustrating, but I'll update with more info when I can.
Thank you for being so helpful, David.
Just popping with a little extra. If anyone was in the same situation as I was where Win7 would not allow me to install ME1 off the disc to the x86 directory:
On a hunch after bryaco identified the missing files I threw my disc in and tried again. Originally I was going to install it in a different spot and copy/paste the files over but this time it recognized my Origin install and let me overwrite it! Once I had the UNC files in their place all I had to do was update through Origin and everything was finally good to go, smooth sailing now.
I sincerely hope for all of you who don't have original hard copies that this gets sorted out as quickly as possible, I always have and always will consider the Mass Effect franchise to be one of the very best I've ever played and that's saying a lot when you consider I had a game controller in my hands when I was 3 and I'm 37 now 😉.
If there was a definitively legal way I could post the folder for you all I would. If for some reason Origin is having a hard time finding them since they're almost a decade old and are probably archived somewhere you have my e-mail address! Lemme know if I can help!
Hey guys, as David said we are homing in on a fix. Once we have it in place, either myself or someone else will post back here. It should be pretty quick here that we have a fix, too so hopefully you guys can get back to playing shortly.

Make also sure that "Always keep this game up to date" is set under the "Update" tab.
