    Discovered a fix: unplug my controller when playing. Seems like a pain in the butt, but it works. Any idea what the problem is? Is EA trying to integrate controllers with the PC versions of Mass Effect? Or is it because of the Trilogy release (which are NOT the versions of Mass Effect 1-3 that I own)?

I'm having the EXACT same problem! I've also tried all the same steps. It seems that the ONLY way to get the camera to cooperate is when you're actively pressing & holding a key on the keyboard, i.e. moving, sprinting, etc. This makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to do anything on the Galaxy Map, BTW, and VERY DIFFICULT to do anything in-game.

This is a VERY RECENT PROBLEM: I had no problems at all last Thursday, and now my game is nearly impossible to play! What gives? What has EA done recently to mess up the game? There isn't a new patch, and it's NOT my hardware!

    None of the PC versions of the Mass Effect games have, or ever have had, support for controllers.

    So while the behaviour may be linked to yours, it's not "by design". 😕mileywink:
