I've tried pretty much everything you can think of as well as all the recommendations on this thread and others. The one thing that might be causing the problem is something I noticed in the "debug.log" text document inside the steam MELE folder location. Every time the game fails to launch (btw I can't even get to the launcher), it spits out this line in the debug.log: [0515/183839:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale (numbers after 05/15 always change)
This sounds like a problem, but I have of course verified the integrity of the files multiple times, so idk what this is about. The other thing which might be causing problems is flash/shockwave (or the lack thereof), after poking around in the game files I noticed that there are quite a few files that have flash based file extensions.
On one of the threads someone posted what looked like a command prompt function, but I'm not sure how they had implemented it since it didn't run in CMD but according to them it solved their problem.
I am just praying to Lord Gaben that either something works or that EA fixes the disaster of a program that is Origin, or that the game devs come out with a patch to solve these issues... they will right?
- Found a fix, for myself at least after some minor crashes in other games. My mass effect opened properly after changing this setting. If you were previously running WIN7/WIN8 your operating system may have automatically changed your native resolution size. I have a 2070 Super.
- Nvidia control panel, reset every setting to default. It seems that my desktop setting in Desktop size and Position was set to "full-screen" and not "aspect ratio." Make sure your device is running the native for your monitor. Your screen may not look distorted- but the game does not register this.
- EDIT: I can recreate this issue- switching back to full-screen over aspect ratio indeed causes the game to not open.
Hope this helps some of you, my game is finally functioning after hours of troubleshooting.
Attached is a screenshot of what I did.

Your post got me to try settings in NVIDIA Control panel.
Disabling G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible fixed my issue. Launcher was running but none of the games launched.- 5 years ago
this is * ridiculous, tried everything and nothing is working, just going to black screen everytime and the game doesnt load in, i can get in to the main menu to select what game i want to play, but then it just throws me to the black endless screen again.
