Another thing you might try:
Find the folder where Mass Effect 2 is installed. For me that's Program Files - Origin Games - Mass Effect 2. Then open the Binaries folder.
There are two executables to launch ME2. One is called ME2Game.exe, the other is called MassEffect2.exe. Try each of them. If you're lucky, one doesn't throw the error.
i tried both with little luck, i'm saying little becuase with MassEffect2 it will run longer then ME2Game, and Origin does notice me playing ME2, it does start, but i won't get any screen pop-ups like "Here the black screen that you'll get when playing fullscreen." but Origin does tell me playing ME2, becuase my profile tells me so, but now i won't get the pop-up with "MIssing SSLeay32.dll" it just- yeah, nothing happens, i can see in my task manager that it does play, but it also doesn't play. becasue nothing happens. it does close itself after like- 10 secconds.
any tips?
EDIT: if i delete the "SSleay32.dll" file, it will say that i'm missing the file. (ofc it misses you might think) but when i replace the file again, it won't say anything. it tells me i'm playing the game, but then it closes itself.
ANOTHER EDIT: while i try to play ME2 too many times, Origin will stop responding and crashes. i also found a ssleay32.dll file in the Origin folder. (C:/Progam files x86/Origin), i hope this info helps.
I'm afraid I'm fresh out of ideas. I think at this point you best contact official support and hope they are aware of the issue and know of a workaround.
thanks man, you helped me a hell lot, i really appriciate this!
