I use the standard Windows Defender. I hope this helps. I also tried to run the games on an older computer, while extremely laggy the games start and run normally.
I just saw a very similar problem on an other 2 core CPU, the MELE system requirements list 4 core 4 threads CPUs as minimum, your CPU has only 2 cores 2 threads so I can't say if there is a hardware limit causing this, even if ME3 runs.
The error message in regards to ME1 is one that is often related to driver problems.
Use a different audio output and if that don't works disable all audio devices in the device manager > Restart the PC > test.
If that don't helps:
- Follow this manual to the letter to cleanly uninstall all NVIDIA components.
- Install the graphics driver. > Go online.
- Test.
- @holger1405 I've tried that and I still have the same problem
Lets try to force Windowed mode:
(This guide describes ME1, but it works for ME2 as well, you just need to replace ME1 with ME2)- Go to your ">disk<\Origin Games\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\Config" folder.
- Copy the "GamerSettings.ini" and paste it to your Desktop so you have a backup.
- Open the "GamerSettings.ini" in a text editor. (the Windows Editor for example.)
- Set Fullscreen=False
- Set BorderlessWindow=False
- Set ResX=1600
- Set ResY=900
- Save the file!
If there are no entries for "BorderlessWindow" or "Fullscreen" - Copy the lines below this line into the bottom of the "GamerSettings.ini" and Save!
[SystemSettings]
BorderlessWindow=False
Fullscreen=False
QualityBloom=False
DynamicShadows=False
UseVSync=False
LightEnvironmentShadows=False
MaxCharacterCinematicLightingPasses=3
EnableLightEnvSHLights=False
MotionBlur=False
FilmGrain=False
AntiAliasing=True
ResX=1600
ResY=900
MouseSensitivity=75
UseMouseDampening=True
AmbientOcclusion=True
MonitorIndex=0 - Test the game.
You can change the settings in game to what you desire if the game runs.
- @holger1405 Still nothing, I even tried to format my PC beforehand and nothing.
I did find this in the config file
[AppCompat]
CompatLevelComposite=5
CompatLevelCPU=5
CompatLevelGPU=5
Don't know if they do anything.
Sorry about the trouble
