Hey there, my mass effect 2 game also does not get passed the "click any button to start" screen. I have done what you have asked, please let me know how to get my game to work. I have tried reinstalling, cloud saves off and repair and none of it works. Thank you.

  • Go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\vc\vc2005\redist\" folder.
  • Run the "vcredist_x86.exe" as Administrator. (Right click the exe > run as an Administrator)
    If you don't have an "Install" option, "Repair" the installation.
  • Reboot.
  • Test.
