Mass Effect LE takes 5-10 minutes to start
Every time I start the game, it shows up the "preparing" screen for a while and then it disappears. But after 5-10 minutes the game actually starts. After start the game runs fine with no issue.
What I'm trying to say is that this "delay" of starting the game is "unnatural" and no reason for it to be this delayed thinking there is some issue with the game.
I fully uninstalled and reinstalled EA app but it still delays the launch of the game.
It seems to be a game-specific upload problem, so I would leave it here for the time being.
Lets test something else:
Make sure Steam and EA app are closed.- Disable the internet connection of your PC.
- Go to your "C:\Users\<Your User Name>\Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\” folder.
- Move the "ME1, ME2, and ME3 folders to a different playce. (The folders must be gone from the original path! Crating a backup of the save files can't hurt either. )
- Start a new game. (The cloud save files should be purged by this.)
- Close the game
- Copy your saves back and test.
If that doesn't help, move the folders for the games you don't play, as well as all but the last 10 saves for the games you do play, out of the above path and test again.
It's also worth looking to see if Windows security features such as "Controlled folder access" are interfering.
