This's my first post, and I'm sorry in advance for my bad in English.
I also have issue as the other.
What I've tried just now is clean runnning, reinstall game, veryify game file in both Steam and Origin, create new user account, or even running with 3rd party launcher.
All of them doesn't seem to work out.
When I tried to run with 3rd party launcher, the game launcher screen pop up, and it suddently bring me back to 3rd party launcher again (same result for ME1, ME2, ME3).
Here is my DxDiag file, if you have any idea, I'd appreciate.
Thank you very much.

- Go here.
- Download the "bink2w64.dll"
- Go to your "H:\Origin Games 3\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64" folder.
- Rename the "bink2w64.dll" to "Old_bink2w64.dll"
- Cope the downloaded "bink2w64.dll" into the "H:\Origin Games 3\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64" folder.
- Test.

Yes, in this case it is most likely a driver.
Test the game also in offline mode. (Network drivers)- 5 years ago@holger1405 Great news. Looks like the realtek drivers were the issue. Popped in the spare sound card and drivers and all three games boot up. I'll keep an eye on this as I've had a few other instances where it would let me play for a bit and then crash again. But I'm hopeful that the audio drivers were the issue.
Funny enough when ME1 originally released on PC, it didn't like my old onboard card and prompted me to buy a new PC (crashing or muted/distorted audio). These games still don't like Realtek after all these years.
Thanks for all your help. Hopefully this was the solution and I can get back to enjoying these awesome games again.- holger14055 years agoHero+
In this case I would asume that your motherboard vendor included the Nahimic audio service or a variant of it in the driver.
Might be worth researching.
You might try what I suggested here about the "Save boot".
- Hit Windows key and X.
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered.
- Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
- If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
- Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key and X again.
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command Prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes. >ENTER.
- Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.
