Mass effect 1 loading BUG

I launch ME on PC, it loads up fine and click resume on ME1. It then goes to the title screen. When I press space to load up my save file it takes a second but when the game loads the screen is black and I hear foot steps like the squad is running. I can press space and escape and it makes the ping sound when whenever you open menus or open doors.

    sorry I did not see this until later. I found a work around. Instead of clicking resume on mass effect 1, I click start, then it takes me to the main menu of mass effect 1, I then click load career and select the save file and it loads up fine.

    @Peeboody Is this only happening on ME1? Do you have an older save to see if it also happens there?

    @Peeboody Interesting, I will share this with my team, and glad to hear you were able to get back in.

  • I have a similar issue.  Loading a save on the Normandy after first visit to Citadel (avoiding spoilers here).  I saved in the Engine Room.  When I load the save I can only see a silhouette of Shephard who is running (despite no keypresses on the keyboard).  When I use the WASD keys her silhouette changes directions and leaves behind ghost images (like the old Windows Solitaire Card Game Victory animation)  Loading a previous save on the Citadel works, but then I've lost a lot of progress.  If I load the corrupted save and then quick save, the corruption persists in the Quicksave.

    @Areskali Have you already tried things like repairing the game from Origin or Steam?

    Also OG solitaire is the best way to explain any issue.

    Yes, I repaired the game from Origin. No luck. I loaded a previous save and continued it n but haven't yet shutdown the games again as I'm nervous about losing additional progress.
