Re: Mass Effect 2-PC Keeps Crashing on Illium

I have to agree with @holger1405 in that I have played ME2 since release, and since I build my own PCs they aren't clean upgrades...by that I mean, I will upgrade a vid say this year and next year or two years later do the Mobo and CPU, later I will add or change a Hard Drive and so on.  So in the time I have had ME2, I have gone through 3 CPUs, 3 Vid cards( I think, may just be two, but I think I upgraded right after getting ME2), and mulitple HDs and RAM configurations, as well as 3 different OP systems.  I haven't ever had abnormal crashes on any planet, other than at end of Shadow Broker going back to Normandy, rest have been random and Illium isn't any worse than any other planet or location.  So through about about 8-12 different computer configuration ME2 has been fairly stable, and very surprising that it still runs and looks as good as it does.  Honestly, I have had many games that simply can't run anymore without some mod, hack or in some cases just will not run....so I would suggest following @ThandalNLyman suggestion and trying Origin digital download, as it will remove a great many issues with Win10 and optical/dvd/cd drives....I really think Microsoft is causing so many issues with optical drives in the effort to make them obsolete and forcing everything to go digital download....

Ok, this "dare" thing was a bit harsh and i am sorry. I was pissed because of the kasumi dlc loading file missing and casusing a crash, and of course i've reinstallied it from origin severel times. I was only pissed because of the dlc crash cause of missing files .

my  pc being 'too good' for me2" was just icing on the cake.

For me too, never had any problems with my old computer and Windows 7. And now, with my new computer and Windows 10, i had already 2 crashes ( At the end of the Kasumi's DLC and at Illium under the office of Liara ). It is very annoying...

But thanks to you guys, i found the solution to the two problems.

For Illium: i put the game in Windows mode without the borders.

For Kasumi, you can find the solution on this web site.

So changing the sound settings does jack-*-*. Now I'll try everything else.

That did it. I only have to worry on Illium, right? Everywhere else is fine?
