Hi everyone, A friend of mine got me Mass Effect 3 N7 Digital Deluxe Edition over Steam as a gift last year. I've been trying to launch it for months but to no avail. As far as I know, Origin is n...

OK, there where some rights problems within Windows.
- Go here and download "Revo Uninstaller". (The freeware version, Portable version works too.)
- Run "Revo Uninstaller" > Uninstall Acer User Experience.
- At the end of the main uninstall, Revo will ask you which cleaning method you want to use. > Select "Moderate" > Browse.
- If "Remaining registration content found" is displayed > Select All > Delete > Next
- When "Remaining Data and Folders" is displayed > Select All (Make sure the "Origin Games" folder is not in the list) > Delete.
- Restart the PC
Then:
- look at this guide. to preform a clean uninstall of Origin.
- Scroll down to "How to uninstall the Origin client the hard way"
- Follow the instructions to the letter.
- reboot.
- Download this version of the "OriginSetup.exe"
- Run the installer as Administrator (Right click the "OriginSetup.exe" > Run as an Administrator)
- Repair the game.
- Test.
Sorry for the delay. I live in Lebanon and we've been getting a ton of power outages lately so only now did I get the chance to try this.
I downloaded Revo and opened it up but I can't see Acer User Experience even when I type it into the search bar.
I've attached 3 screenshots that have apps I suspect could be related but you know better.
Capture 1 and 2 are in the same tab "Uninstaller" while Capture 3 is in "Windows Apps".
I hope this helps.

NP, we are not running away. 😉
You should uninstall "Acer Care Center" and "Arcer Configuration manager"
The "Acer Care Center servce" should be gone after that as well, but check after you restarted the Machine after the uninstallation.
I also would uninstall "acer driver setup utility" and "acer cplection s."
Then go on with the rest in the former post.I really appreciate your help!
Unfortunately I did them all and then followed the instructions about reinstalling Origin to the letter but the problem persists.
I repaired it on Origin and it automatically validated on Steam (fixing 1 file apparently).
I tried running it from Origin, from Steam and directly from the Binaries folder and got nothing.
(Origin, Steam and the ME3 app all running as admin)
As usual, Origin only refreshed and it was as if nothing happened.
Such a weird problem. I'd understand anytime you want to call it quits.
I am not here to call it quits. 😉
Try this:
- Make sure Origin and Steam are closed.
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
- Delete the "License" folder.
- Test.
It took me some time but I updated all my drivers again to be safe.
I tried your suggestion a couple of times but nothing changed ☹️
Thanks again for your support!
Please preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.
Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and alos Afterburner and similar software is disabled.
Make also sure that your GPU & CPU are not overclocked.
Also, the "Save" folder is still empty?
