The Origin Games folder in Program Files(x86) is empty. I accessed the config folder via SteamLibrary\steam apps\common\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME3\BioGame\Config.
I moved it to my desktop and made sure Beta: Unicode is still applied. No change. The game still will not launch.
Attached a second DxDiag
Sorry, over read that you have the game on Steam.
If there aren't any dump files of ME:

I did not find any crash dumps for ME3, I found one for ME1 and another for ME2
That is strange because that means that ME3 is not crashing but not launching at all.
Did you tried to launch from MassEffect3.exe under "steam apps\common\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME3\Binaries"?
Also try to run the MassEffect3.exe as Administrator.
I stated in a previous post that the game has been running smoothly for me when I have been able to play it. Little to no issues regarding performance/crashes/etc. It's very bizarre, I've never had a game behave this way before. And I'm running on good, recent hardware. My PC is just over 2 years old. The game simply refuses to launch, which is why I initially suspected it to be a problem with Origins. I tried clearing the Origins cache, but that didn't solve anything. Other games I own via steam start and run perfectly fine. MELE is the outlier and is incidentally the only game I have that goes through Origins.
It was also odd how the Beta: Unicode fix worked, but only temporarily. I saw this solution on a steam forum and applied it and the game launched and ran without a hitch for a couple of days, then just stopped launching again. I'm guessing I'll need to try a reinstall, and if that fails, hope BioWare and EA push an update out that fixes the problem in the near future.
But yes, the game has run nearly flawlessly for me. I believe the two crashes I had were in ME1 while doing a Mako side mission and in ME2 during a loading screen. ME3 has had no trouble to this point and ME1 and 2 had no other issues either. There was never a case where I reached the launch screen but couldn't start one of the games. The launcher either works and the games perform fine, or the launcher won't start at all and I never even have a chance to pick one of the games to play.
But yes I did try to run ME3 directly from the binaries folder, and tried again as an administrator like you suggested, no change.
In any case, I appreciate you and the help you've been giving to me and others. If you have any other ideas to get the game working, let me know.
