[PC] Mass Effect 2 DLC crashing game

Ok,

so recently i bought Mass Effect Trilogy + all DLC and i have problems running Mass Effect 2 + DLC - when i start game everything is fine and dandy - problems start when i try to import ME1 character or start new game - when i click one of following options, menu disappears and i can see only background and ... nothing happens. I narrowed this failure down to the DLC - when i turn off origin and change name of folder "DLC" to something different like "_DLC" i can normally start game or import ME1 character. One more strange thing - when i have DLC's achievement images are blanks with "IMG*" written over. When i disable DLC's it comes back to normal. In my crusade to run ME2 i tried:

1. Clean install with cleaning reg with CCleaner - i tried to reinstall at least 3 times

2. Repairing my install - also at least 3 times

3. Origin and ME2 executable are "run with admin rights"

4. I tried all possible combinations with compatibility mode

mode

5. PhysX driver update

6. DxDiag attached

I'm running out of options - i'll be thankful for all new idea's. 🙂

---------EDIT---------

Ok, so i tried literally everything and finally found the solution.

So if anyone encounter similar problem - solution for me was completely uninstalling Origin, all Bioware Games + reg cleaning of ANYTHING related to Bioware (games as KOTOR 1/2 or similar) and then clean install.

So ... problem solved topic ready for closing 🙂.

    There is almost no space left on your C: drive,  you should make at least 10 - 20 GB of Space available.

    The driver of your Graphic card is severally outdated.

    Do you use any Mods?
