Mass Effect 2 awc.dll failed to load ?

So my game (ME2) was launching fine the night before. Now when I try to launch the game I get a "awc.dll failed to load" message and the game won't load.

    • Make sure Origin or Steam are completely closed.
    • Go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder.
    • Rename the "MassEffect2.exe" to "MassEffect2Launcher.exe"
    • Rename the "ME2Game.exe" to "MassEffect2.exe" > test.

  • I can't believe I forgot to shut down Steam in my tray. I realized this after I had changed the 2 .exe's

    I am kicking myself as I know better. Thanks for trying to help.
