Mass Effect for Windows 8 Pro 64-bit edition
Hello there. I've been trying to get mass effect 1 to run on my PC, but whenever I go to the launcher and press play, it thinks for a bit, then stops, with no error message. I have the latest 1.02 ...

I'm guessing this has probably already been solved, but for anyone that has the issue in the future: Either run Origin in Admin mode, or set the Launcher exe to Admin mode - should fix any non launch issues
Nope, the problem is still out there.
I will have to go home and look up my system specs, but I am running Windows 8 Home 64, and an nVidia GT650M video card, which might also be part of the problem. Mass Effect fails to launch with a General Exception fault, and Mass Effect 2 stops immediately after starting. I am patched, and I have tried to run as Admin and in Compatibility Mode, and no dice.
So, any additional help would be appreciated.
I've had the same problem. My GPU is similar, a GT 640, but I doubt that's the problem, as it also won't start on my Windows 7 laptop with an older Radeon card. I've really wanted to get into this series, but the game won't run on my computers. EA tech support was completely when I reached out to them about a year ago about this problem, and it still seems like they haven't figured it out. Wish I could run it since I've heard good things about the series, but until they get it running on modern operating systems, I'm not going to bother trying.
