If the game does not start for you, there are several possible workarounds: Notice: Mass Effect Legendary Edition will not run on Windows 7. LE1 & LE2 will not run on CPUs with only 2 physical ...

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.

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.
