mass effect trilogy

Have you applied the 1.02 patch?

Tried.  It tells me it can't find ME.  I've tried running both the patch & Origin as administrator, but it still can't find ME!

Installed ME2.  Now it won't fire up cause it has a problem with the wrong PhysX Software!  Uninstalled the PhysX, reinstalled it.  The splash screen just stares at me.  That's enough!  It ain't worth the time & trouble.  Taking it back to the store for credit & I'm done with this POS software.  It's just a game.  Got better things to do than spend hours trying to get a game going that's not user friendly.  over & out....

Origin won't give me a version numer so telling if I am on 1.02 or not is not possible.

Simiarly, downloading 1.02 and running it says that ME is not installed.

Here's the app crash report:

And running Origins as Admin is not allowing 1.02 to locate Mass Effect...

Running the config utility (MassEffectConfig, same folder as the MassEffect.exe file) did fix the problem.

The biggest change I made was telling the game I didn't have a 4:3 monitor.

I got the same Problem with ME

1.02 is already installed

Im runing it as Admin

did reboot my PC

It was working bifor i installed ME2 and the PhyX Engine

Iam veriy angry that EA sells a product that didnt install and runs cleanly

For whatever reason, the PhysX that was included with ME-2 was incompatible with ME-1.  The reverse is not true.  If you have the DVD, you can uninstall the ME-2 version of PhysX, and replace it from the ME-1 DVD, 

Sadly i got the ME1-3 Offer. Downloaded the PhsyX from NVIDI cause it wassent included in the install Pakage

There has been a great deal of past discussion of PhysX versions when this type forum was still active on the Bioware Social Forums' site.  The archives are still there, although it may very well take some digging to identify the right thread, since the handy "Solved" flags don't exist there.  Use Google or Yahoo, not the badly broken on-site file finder they created and never repaired there.
