@engel5 Ok, try this: Go here and download the "awc.dll" and the "EACore.dll" Close Origin. (right click at the Task Bar icon > Exit) Navigate to ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\Core" and rename the "awc.dll" and the "EACore.dll" to "old_awc.dll" and "Old_EACore.dll" Move the new "awc.dll" and "EACore.dll" files from the place you saved them into the directory listed above. Start Origin > Test the Game.

Had the same problem too here is my error report

@engel5 in response to this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-3/Can-t-get-ME-3-to-run/m-p/6590710/highlight/true#M25281 Yes, you should copy and paste the DLLs to the location I mentioned above.

I might suggest you start a thread detailing exactly what your issue is, post a DxDiag file as well just in case. The reason I suggest this is I have seen your posts in several different threads seemingly covering several different issues. It is hard to figure out which exactly is your issue, and what you have or have not done to get the game to work. So a central post with the needed information to help you would be a great idea.

I merged the post of the other thread into this one which obtains your most detailed error report.

I would suggest that you follow @mcsupersport recommendation and also to tell us exactly what you already tried to solve this issue.

Anything else would be a guessing game and therefore a waste of time for us all.

You are suggesting I download two .DLL's for an application that runs as a Service with Admin rights on my PC, from an anonymous "onedrive.live.com", from an Anonymous user, who isn't an EA employee.
I'd fire an employee for following those directions without a second thought.
If that's EA's attitude to security, I'm glad I never gave them any account information.

What we could do is beside the point. EA support directed me this page for support - my reply was to them.
On the other hand, if you can run a piece of software through a test with library validation in two minutes - that is pretty good, it would take me an hour to figure out how to set up the IDE with the overlays, I don't do it that often. If you mean run a virus check...well ...
But you are right, I've spent enough time trying to get an old game to work - I'm bagging it.
I didn't mean any offense to you though - thanks for the effort.
