ME3 Release Date Check Error

Hey all. I have just tried to install ME3 again on my pc (windows 10) and everything went fine during the setup except for when i try to launch the game. it is asking for a release date check and i click accept so it can run it but every time it fails. I did a fresh install of origin again and that did not work either. Anyone encounter this issue before?

    Hi Dimi.

    I would tray the driver.

    If that not helps, there is also the small possibility that there are game files corrupted that can't be detected by the repair funktion. To make sure that this is not the case, completely deinstall the game, delete the "Mass Effect 3" folder in your "Documents" folder, (Normally you should make a backup of the "Save" folder, but you don't have any, so we can skip that.) and reboot.

    Then you have 2 options, either install the game from the DVD again, or download the game with Origin. I would recommand the Origin download, but I don't know how good your internet connection is.

  • What worked for me was setting my computer time to March of 2012, because that is the game's release date. So I gave it a shot. 

     Ironically Dragon Age 2 had the same problem.
