Leave it to Origin. To create problems. Earlier this year I was able to run all Mass Effect games. Then by August I had problems with mass 4, mass 3 and now mass 2. Getting back to mass 4. That problem got resolved by doing a full windows 10 reinstall. If you talk to the so called experts at Origin, they are quick to blame windows 10 for the problems. With Mass 3 and 2 its a direct x issue I am seeing. You try to tell them that the game was working up to some point. May as well be talking to a wall. Tried to complain about all of the BS I seen from about 90% of there support staff. The last 3 times I tried they wanted a read out of the system. They don't have any direct answers. No wonder Mass effect 4 wasn't accepted. So much for bioware making decent games, they have a support staff (Origin) is pretty much a laughing stock of the industry. They owe their customers better. Not cop out answers.
