    Are we talking the original ME2, cause this is the MELE board?

    If yes:

    Go to the ">drive<:\Program Files ((x86))\Origin Games(EA Games)\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder and right click on the "MassEffect2.exe" > send to > Desktop (create shortcut). 

    Now go to the Desktop and right click the shortcut > Properties.

    Click in the "Target" field and then use your right arrow key to bring the cursor to the end of this line (directly after the quote mark (") ). Copy and past this: 

    "  -nomoviestartup" without the quote but with the space before the (-) in the "Target line. Should look that way:

      ...Binaries\Win32" -nomoviestartup  
    Click "OK" and start the game from the shortcut on your desktop.

    (Note: If it is not working for the "MassEffect2.exe" create a shortcut to the "ME2game.exe" and add the line there.)

I already did that. I also tried reinstalling the game, I tried reinstalling the game and that one DLC last. Nothing fixes it. I tried installing the DLC from a separate download still doesn't fix it. Honestly this has been an issue for years from what I have read. I would have assumed that by now it would have been fixed or EA would have no longer carried that DLC. I'm not normally a big fan of using command console to port characters to other places. But that option isn't available either. When I looked it up and followed the instructions to activate it. The line it is suppose to be on isn't there. The one that is closest to the E21730 is just 21730 and codes are different and the changes there still don't work.

      Happy to hear you got this working. Shadow Broker mission has always been some of my favorites in the game.
