ME1 (2007) Won't Run -- Win11
Does anyone have any confirmed solutions to get ME1 (2007) to actually run on Windows 11?
It had no issues running on literally any OS earlier than 11 (10, 8, 7, & Vista, iirc) but no matter what compatibility setting I put it in, whether it runs as admin or not (and even if it's already set to run as admin, EAPlay app keeps telling me it needs more permissions? Like how the *?) but now it just will not run, period.
Before people come in saying things I've already read (and believe me, I've already looked at similar topics, tried those fixes, and they didn't work or I didn't understand how to implement them.)
To start, ME is installed on a separate drive, not the C: drive.
ME2 & 3 both run purrfectly fine, thankfully.
ME will pull up the little square screen that happens before it opens the main game, then just autocloses & pulls up the EAPlay app again.
So again: Any confirmed solutions?
There is an Access Violation error for Mass Effect reported in the DxDiag. Unfortunately that can have many reasons.
Make sure the "MassEffect.exe" is set to run under "Windows XP (Service pack 3)" compatibility mode and also check "Run this Program as an Administrator".
Restart the PC > Test.
If that don't helps:
- Make sure EA app is closed.
- Go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect" folder and move the "Save" folder and the "Config" folder to your desktop. > Test.
If that also don't helps:
Preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.
Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.
Make also sure that your GPU & CPU are not overclocked.
