Hi Again
Yes I have tried different resolutions. But There was a fix listed in windows oddly enough, so i though what the hell.
It downloaded the version 1.02 patch again and installed it, from what i can tell its the same as the one i downloaded manually
but at least the computer does not crash completely now it just give me a "rendering error" and crashes the game.
From what i can tell from other web sites this is a error in the bioengine.ini file allthough i have yet to find out what parameter is causing the crash.
I havent tinkered with the .ini files btw
Ok Status update
So the black screening was deffenetly af fault in the ver 1.02 udate.
Regarding the rendering faults, i have tried turning off Hardware sound as suggested elsewhere.
And then I noticed that the error says that the game cant find lines of code in Kernelbase.dll and Masseffect.exe files wich are there.
So both the install folder and the documents folder for ME are read only so i have changed those aswell, all of the above has made the game alot more
stable allthough it still crashes, at major story cut scenes with "rendering faults"
I am playing as admin, the computer only have one user "me" and i do have admin rights on the computer.
UAC is turned off aswell
Any ideas i have overlooked?
This game is so awsome when its running properly
When you say you are playing as admin, do you mean that your Windows login is an admin account, or do you mean you are right clicking on ME, and telling it to Run as Administrator? User level admin access and running as administrator are not actually the same, and the latter provides greater levels of access.
Hi Again
Yes the user has admin rights on the computer.
Yes i run the game as administrator aswell.
I just played through the entire Feros mission without an encident last night so i thought all was well.
Then the first planet i stopped at after this was one of the Side mission planets and the game did a complete crash again (black screen + system freeze )
just when i got there I really dont understand whats going on here.
Mabey its a memory leak problem.
