Crashes noted in ME1 so far.Luna mission (rogue VI) - one of the buildings shooting the automated turrets causes a repeatable crash.Noveria - mission for Loriq Keen - after going up the elevator and past the first dialog shooting the explodable object causes a crash. Got around this by disabling VSYNC however crash in the very next fight that I can't bypass. Have tried disabling Origin overlay, updating nVidia drivers to latest version etc.Screen freezes, audio continues for a second then stops and then crashes back to the launcher with no error popups. Event Viewer always shows the same details following the crash.Faulting application name: MassEffect1.exe, version: 2.0.0.47902, time stamp: 0x6089185aFaulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000Exception code: 0xc0000005Fault offset: 0x0000000000000000Faulting process ID: 0x3c0cFaulting application start time: 0x01d74b5848d424ceFaulting application path: D:\Mass Effect Legendary\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64\MassEffect1.exeFaulting module path: unknownReport ID: 53768f48-7bea-4c9d-bb5e-1d0d7a275903Faulting package full name:Faulting package-relative application ID:This is making ME1 effectively unplayable.

After some ten hours of relentless testing experienced and found the following:1- enabled the Radeon overlay to display frame rates realtime, and found the game stalled when framerates were down to 40ties iso higher than 602- had tried a totally cleaned up game options session and and tried umpty vsync related settings in Radeon settings, the game kept stalling 95% of the times in last scene very intense battle situations3- had totally disabled Sophos malware suppression, still the same4- by accident stumbled along a display driver on hardware level admmddmg that was not functioning, with a malfunction code at startup of the drivers which kept repeating. service amdmddmg not starting status 0xC00000E55- googled this and found I must repair my system files (sfc /scannow see ps below )which I did, then deinstalled the Radeon software and fresh installed the tested 21.4.1 version to be on the safe side6- rebooted and now was able to adjust screen resolution at system level contrary to before, from 3840*2160 to 3200*1800. Before due to the broken driver system software, this was impossible. Now tested three times and ran through the whole scene of Therum Ruins smoothly, also with all in game options enabled again (VSYNC, antialiasing, ambient occlusion, etc, and offensive use of powers by whole team, ) and the Radeon Settings on Esports (very optimised). 7- so , in the past found many settings that seemed to influence the game experience, but flawed reasoning since the outcome of a run at the scene was 95% crashed and no repeatable results. This resulted from a overwhelmed graphics card with 8192mb of main memory, this refuses to run at 3840*2160 with many screen objects: had had the same trouble in old style ME1, then adjusted the screen resolution just like that because my drivers were ok then.8- only when decreasing resolution in system and in-game, the RX 5700XT pulls the weight again and you can play the game with any settings, save one, Sophos option on Sandboxing that must be checked or else the whole LE won't start. Pffffff, happy now, thanks for all supportPS the part to repair the system files is as followsThe message “the application was unable to start correctly” could appear due to the installation of incompatible drivers, resulting in the failure of system files. To find out and immediately correct the situation automatically, scan your computer with SFC. To do this, open the Run window (Windows + R) and enter “cmd”; press Shift + Ctrl + Enter to grant administrator rights. Enter the following command in the command line and press Enter to execute it: sfc /scannowAfter scanning the system files, the utility will automatically replace them with working ones and fix your problem.

@puzzlezaddictWell, he's not alone, i have tested any of these Points multiple times, but i just cannot play the game. My game crashes when a shotgun is fired, when any tech or biotic skill hits an enemy (when the sprite/animation should start). out of combat i can use the abilitys, i can see floating beacons, as soon, as an enemy run in those odr gets hit, crash. My dxdiag can be found on the first page.edit:this happend after the patch, before i could play just fine

@puzzleaddict I fully agree. The point is there are umpty options in Radeon settings, I must admit I am lost a bit. So far I have disabled 'sports' settings back to 'normal' as a general. which also disables Radeon Boost. I wonder however if I should not focus on VSYNC like- Freesync related frequency capping options......Maybe I have time tomorrow to try some settings.Note that with the same settings and hardware- I have fully played through the non-legendary versions of ME,ME2 and ME3 without any major problem ;-) There is something in ME Legendary Edtion that keeps pushing for framerates, and my 43 inch monitor can only handle 60hz with 3840*2160.Thanks for your reacttons, will in the next few days try to figure out if any of the Radeon settings is relevant.

@spootie17 If you'd like to wait for a patch, that's understandable. I don't know what the issue is here, so I can't even begin to guess whether it'll be fixed, although I'd hope so. One thing you might try, if you can find one, is downloading a different save from around the same point as your crashes started. That way, you can see whether it's the game or your save, and you don't have to start from the beginning. As for whether players should be doing bug-hunting, that's a matter of debate. Given that the devs' time is limited (it always is), I'd personally rather they get as much information as possible from players so they can focus on fixing bugs rather than spending part of their resources finding those bugs in the first place. But that certainly doesn't mean anyone has an obligation to be part of that process.

Lots of illegal memory access crashes (0xc0000005) are being seen at the moment. I'm unable to finish the game because of them.

Also in the Liara's Dig Site mission , shooting a Geth crashes. Luna Mission: exactly the same. Note I have ME LE installed on my E: disk, this is the only coincidence I can come up with. Please advize, Gerard van der Kooij

@andy2029 Something that helps the technically minded volunteers here is if you post a DxDiag here. Instructions: https://help.ea.com/en/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

This also happens to me, On Citadel on first visit zu the Choras Nest.
Using any ability leasds to Crash, also, enemy abilitys even on some shooting effects.
I tried a clean NV Driver Install, switching refreshrates in all Modes (windowed, full screen)
Alls effects on/off. This seemed to help peaople in the Saren fights.
Reparing the game always redownloads arround 980 MB.
I haven't started the other 2 Parts yet, but it is unplayable at all.
Just a maybe Hint, this seemed to happen after the first patch, i was able to use skills before.

Same to me yet, and I have not seen any instance of MELE team saying they have noticed it and starting to investigate repairs.
I also get the repairing and download 1 GB thing, but the last 8 rounds of repair have not done so.
I iterate between trying to progress on Feros, Noveria and the Tantau mission of getting wrex Armour. All on shooting the first person then crash out of MELE.

@GerardKooij Also the bossfight Therum Ruins freezes and crashes whilst in cover

I had a crash in every major fight involving biotic power. Have seen another post with a workaround 'set to defensive' only for powers by characters, have reset this and now the boss fight in the Therum Ruins is still crashing but only after ca. 20 seconds. Before it crashed immediately. I have a team with Tali and Wrex (biotic power) . Fighting the Geth platform and/or the Geth stalkers crashes the game me1 after ca. twenty seconds, havent found a workaround yet. Have increased my pagefiles on system level since my C: drive is limited . Installed me le on my E: drive. have uploaded my latest dxdiag. thanks for looking into this, Gerard
