ABBYY it is now off, but still crashes. did both repair, plus clear origin cache.
Play through Origin
It always happens in the fight, and usually when an enemy gets close. Tantau one of the pirates, Noveria in Qins office, Feros when the geth shoot at the very start.
Thanks for the help. Really so bloody annoying. I had been looking forward to this game and submitted my thesis in time to be able to play it.
@spootie17 Try enabling vertical sync within the game's graphics settings. It's also worth turning down the in-game resolution (temporarily) just to see whether it makes any difference.
Your new dxdiag does list one error with Radeon software, so although there's no other evidence of an issue with your graphics driver, it might help to clean uninstall and reinstall the driver. Download Display Driver Uninstaller from here:
https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3480
Download the newest recommended (WHQL) driver from AMD, not the newer optional driver.
https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-400-series/radeon-rx-400-series/radeon-rx-470
Next, take your computer completely offline—disable wifi and/or pull the ethernet cord—and double-click the DDU.exe. Take note of where the file will land, and click Extract. If it's easier, you can copy the path and then paste it into the address bar in a File Explorer window. Open the folder and then launch Display Driver Uninstaller.exe, and you'll get a message that you're not in Safe Mode. Click OK, then go to Options and enable Safe Mode dialog. Here's a screenshot of what your options should look like; make sure the box in red is checked:
Close options, and the DDU, and then open the DDU.exe again. For launch options, choose "Safe Mode (Recommended)," and then click Reboot to Safe Mode (you'll need your password, so find it before rebooting). Once you login, you'll see this:
In the blue box, choose GPU, then AMD if it's not already showing. Then click Clean and Restart (red box).
Once your computer has rebooted, now back in normal mode, run the driver install .exe as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator." Restart again when you're done, and go back online.

Followed all the steps on reinstalling the driver, still same mistake at the same point.
And it usually happens when one of the enemy combatants gets close, and I could start engaging Melee.

@spootie17 Did enabling vertical sync not make any difference? It does help with some types of crashes, although nowhere near all of them.
Is there any pattern to what kind of enemy causes the crashes, as in, do the enemies have abilities/weapons/race/etc. in common?
- spootie175 years agoNew Traveler
Nope, tried it off and on.
In Tantau there are no biotics, it is all Turians and Pirates, and it happens when they are getting close.
Really weird.
Part of me is wondering whether there is any point in just waiting a month and letting Bioware have a look at it. Submitted the error report too.
I am not sure whether the Forum or normal people should be doing bug hunting on this level for them.

@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.

@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
- spootie175 years agoNew Traveler
I also had about 6 hours of reasonably clean gaming before the first patch.

@alexsavat Have you seen any LiveKernelEvent 141 errors from after you clean uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics driver? Those typically only happen when there's a system or hardware issue; a game crash shouldn't cause one. You can check the Reliability Monitor (Windows key-R, enter perfmon /rel) for any new errors.
If you find any from after the GPU driver reinstall, please post them in a reply here. You should be able to c/p the info.

nope, never had any of those
only Applicationerror of MassEffect1.exe
- puzzlezaddict5 years agoHero+
@alexsavat Could you please post the entire error? Right-click on the entry and select "View technical details," then copy and paste the info you see.
Please also look for an MELE crash dump. Click Windows key-R and copy and paste this:
%LocalAppData%\CrashDumps
When you enter, you'll see a list of .dmp files. If one of them is from the MELE, please upload it to a third-party filehosting site (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and link it here.
