No Problem, if you still want to try other solutions look below.
Try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME2 > Repair)
If that don't helps, did you tried all the suggestions in this thread?
If yes, flushing the DNS cache would be the next step. Also run SFC /scannow if the flushing don't works.
If that still not works, try this:
Download the "masseffect-binkw32-master" file from here.
Unzip the file and go to the "masseffect-binkw32-master\masseffect-binkw32-master\ME2\Release" folder.
Copy the two "binkw32.dll" to the "Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder. (overwrite)
Steam = ">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect 2\Binaries""
Origin =">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries"
Ok, I have tried all the options listed in your suggestions and the game still freezes on the main menu when my computer is connected to the internet. If I am not connected, the game will play and say I need to connect to Cerberus Network. If I click "connect" the game goes to a "please wait" screen and hangs there eternally.
DLC is authorized on Bioware website and on Origin but not in game. The game freezes if my Ethernet cable is plugged in. If I play offline, it gives me a list of all my DLC and says it is not available unless I sign in to Cerberus Network.
You did try to repair the game? (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME2 > Repair)
You also swapped the binkw32.dlls as described in the Post above?
yes, I swapped the binkw32.dll files in origin folder (I don't have the game on steam) and then the game would not open. I repaired again (probably the 10th time since starting this whole mess) and now it's exactly as it was previously.
This seams to be more than a connection error.
The game should start without problem with the new DLL files, you did overwrite the original DLLs?
Did you tried to uninstalled and reinstalled the game?
Please preform a clean boot and test the Game afterwards.
If that don't helps, run Sfc /scannow and post the final message.
