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"
I finally got it to work!! I completely uninstalled Mass Effect 2 (again since I've done that once before) and re-installed it (again) through Origin. After doing this I replaced the .dll files. The game will not open through the Origin shortcut but will through the "ME2 Game" launcher in the Mass Effect 2 folder. The game also still freezes when my computer is connected to the internet but when I started the game with the internet disconnected the game works and all DLC is working in game! So excited to get to see new parts of this game that I haven't experienced before. Thanks a ton for all your help and patience.
