Mass Effect 2-PC keeps crashing on Illium when I try to take the cab to the area with the Justicar. It was previously crashing in the more common place under Liara's office but I was able to get past...
On the Steam platform I had to disable dynamic shadows and light shadows and I also had to play in window mode just to be able to do the quests on Illium.
Yep my me2 trilogy disc came with a read error, my DLCs getting crashes because of a missing loading file, do not tell me that because i had the money to spare for a decent pc it crashes on illium, do not DARE.
Sorry, have to
Playing older games on newer hardware and operating systems will cause problems that were not present or not as serious as they were for release.
That is in the nature of things, try to play a game written for Windows 98 on your machine today.
The recommanded system requirements on the Origin page are there for a reason:
That are the systems ME2 was written for, (And the only systems on which ME2 is guaranteed to work on) it is actually pretty amazing that it still runs with only minor problems today.
Furthermore, I played ME2 on 4 different OS and on 3 different machines, (plus several hardware updates to this machines) and I never had to use the -nomoviestartup workaround nor do I have constant crashes on illium.
That on the other hand shows that some problems are caused by specific hard and software configurations, and not by the game itself.
Ok, this "dare" thing was a bit harsh and i am sorry. I was pissed because of the kasumi dlc loading file missing and casusing a crash, and of course i've reinstallied it from origin severel times. I was only pissed because of the dlc crash cause of missing files .
my pc being 'too good' for me2" was just icing on the cake.

For me too, never had any problems with my old computer and Windows 7. And now, with my new computer and Windows 10, i had already 2 crashes ( At the end of the Kasumi's DLC and at Illium under the office of Liara ). It is very annoying...
But thanks to you guys, i found the solution to the two problems.
For Illium: i put the game in Windows mode without the borders.
For Kasumi, you can find the solution on this web site.
That did it. I only have to worry on Illium, right? Everywhere else is fine?
