    1. Make sure Steam and EA app are closed.
    2. Disable the internet connection of your PC.
    3. Go to your "Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\” folder.
    4. Move the "Save" folder and the “LauncherConfig.cfg”, “TrilogyGamerProfile” and the “TrilogyGamerProfile-XXXX” file to your Desktop. (The folder and files must be gone from the original path!)
    5. Test the game.

        Good to hear.  👍
        You can copy the “LauncherConfig.cfg”, “TrilogyGamerProfile” and the “TrilogyGamerProfile-XXXX" back into the folder and test. 

        If the game still starts the culprit is a save game.
        Probably one of the last you made.
