[PC] Possible workarounds for Mass Effect Legendary Edition launch problems.

@reflowkt 

Some errors that lead to MELE not starting are errors in the game that should be fixed, but some are problems on the end user system Bioware has no influence over.

If you are not troubleshot you don't know which one is the case for you and if a fix might help you.

@ALTBOULI313 

Try what I suggest, if it runs in save boot there is a driver on your system that prevents the game from running. 

@ALTBOULI313 

No, it still would be trial and error, there are some drivers that would be more common than others but in the end it is trial and error.

If you don't want to do this, wait for the next patch that might purge some incompatibilities, if it is still not working after that you will find me here.  🙂

Please filter the CBS Log in this way:

• Press the Windows key > Write "CMD" (Without the quotation marks) > Right click on "Command prompt" in the search results. > Run as administrator.

• Copy "findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt" (Without the quotation marks) into the prompt of the command prompt. > ENTER.

• Upload the "sfcdetails.txt" that is now on your desktop.

• Go here and download the "All in One Runtimes" package.  (Description)
• Run the installer.
• Disable the "Java Runtime Environment 8 Update 251" from the pre-settings
• Install all VC++ runtimes.
• Restart the PC. (a real "Restart" not just shutting down and start again.)

Then:

• Press the Windows Key and "i" at the same time > Apps.
• Scroll down until you see "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (Or 2017 or 2019) Redistributable"
• Uninstall everything from  2015 - 2019 (Only 2015 to 2019, leave all older versions intact.)
• Restart the PC.
• Go here and download the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable" packages.  (Both, the x86 and the x64 versions)
• Install both versions x86 and the x64 running the installer as Administrator (Right click the installer > Run as an Administrator)
• Reboot > Test

Hi again, Holger!

I did my best to interpret the commands and fill in file paths specific to my PC, but I don't think I understand the language well enough to enter the command correctly.  Any chance you could break it down a little further for me, please?  Thanks!

@1m4n00b2221 

It should work regardless of the OS language.

Just copy and past findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt into an elevated command prompt. > Hit ENTER.

I see what you're saying.  I attempted to replace portions with file paths using file paths specific to my PC.  Ran the command, file attached.  Thank you!
