Every time you engage in a particular action or only after so many hours of play?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; -&gt; just after the first install&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; d.&nbsp; Where? Where does the problem occur? Is the problem localized to a particular planet or does it occur everywhere?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; e.&nbsp; Why? As much as possible, can you isolate the problem to a specific set of steps?The Game is patched to the last patch.

Answer

Have you set the game as running at Administrator level?&nbsp;

Answer

Yes i tried that too.BTW, the patch for WIN7 isnt running. Everytime i try to install the patch i get the message ME1 not installed, install it from the origin device.

Answer

If the game is not actually fully patched, it fails in a variety of places in Windows 7, and I've never heard of it NOT patching, so I must assume your install is damaged, requiring an uninstall and reinstall.
