ME1 Will Launch But Won't Run (Win10) - Edit: Not Solved
...I hope that title makes sense. Let me explain:
I hit Play in Origin or else I go to the Binaries folder and use the .exe, and either way the game will open, the screen will start rearranging itself as it does when you play a game made for different screen sizes, and then everything adjusts itself back to normal size and puts you back on whatever screen you started on. Mass Effect never actually crashes, but attempting to click it again just does the same thing again and again (sometimes with a split second of audio). If you hover over the app preview it's a black screen with a few vertical silver lines. I haven't played this game in a few years, but I'm assuming it's freezing on the opening video/animation?
Tried all the common fixes I've seen online already. Tried restarting, running both Origin and the exe as admin, running in XP SP2 and SP3 compatibility, quitting Origin entirely and launching the game that way (it doesn't even open when I do that), Repair, even tried making sure to force the game to use the Nvidia display driver instead of Intel... Not really sure what else to do ☹️
I'm running Win10 with an RTX 2070, 32GB RAM, Intel i7 processor... Not too sure what else you need to know, since I'm not a huge computer person myself. Attached are the dxdiag and ME log files though! If those help. Thank you in advance for any advice!
