Mass Effect Legendary Edition ME3 crashes on start.
Having completed ME1 and ME2 on the legendary edition, I naturally attempted to progress onto ME3. Upon clicking Start from the launcher, I am met with a black screen for several seconds while the launcher music continues to play. I know this itself isn't abnormal as the other games do this immediately prior to launching and showing their game's banner while loading. For ME3 however, no such banner appears, the music cuts out briefly, then the launcher reopens. Observing this through the Task Manager, I am able to see ME3 open for a moment and then promptly disappear once the launcher reopens. I can only assume this is the game crashing.
I have thus far tried repairing the install, verifying local files through steam, and completely uninstalling and reinstalling - none have worked yet of course.
Browsing the forums, I was able to find solutions for similar issues on ME3, but these seemed largely tailored towards other versions (not ME:LE). Any thoughts as to how to solve this?
- Turn the Cloud-save function in Origin off.
- Make sure that Origin is completely closed.
- Go to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3" = "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3" folder and move the "Save" and the "BIOGame" folders to your desktop. > Test.
