Launching M1/M2/M3 returns me to launcher menu

I have done most of the fixes i could find. All apps have admit rights. I have removed all overlays, changed locale, no special characters in my windows name, updated all drivers, upgraded to windows...

Thank you for your reply @holger1405 

Region changed to UK and restarted, the issue persists.

Any other ideas?

Please preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.

Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.

Make also sure that your GPU & CPU are not overclocked.

    @holger1405 Clean Boot didn't change anything, the app is still not responding and pops back to launcher menu.
    There is no antivirus on the pc other than what comes with windows. There are no afterburner or overclocking apps.

    Running out of ideas here.

      • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
      • In the new Window, type or copy and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) > Press ENTER
      • Look if there are any "MassEffect1.exe.Xxxx.dmp" or "MassEffectLauncher.exeXxxx.dmp" files in the "..Local\CrashDumps" folder.
      • Zip 2 - 3 "MassEffect1.exe.Xxxx.dmp" or "MassEffectLauncher.exeXxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at a free file hosting service like Dropbox or Onedrive.
      • Post the link here.

      If there aren't any dump files of ME:

      • Press the Windows key > Write: Command Prompt > Right click on "Command Prompt" in the search results > Run as administrator.
      • Copy and paste reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD into the prompt Window > Press ENTER.
      • Play the game until it crashes.
      • After the game crashes, let all Windows crash dialogues finish.
      • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. > Type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) into the new window > Press ENTER.
      • Zip 2 - 3 "MassEffect1.exe.Xxxx.dmp" or "MassEffectLauncher.exeXxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at free file hosting service like Dropbox.
      • Post the link here.


        If you want to undo the automatic dump creation, use the command below in a elevated command prompt (As in point 1) reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" /f
