Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition launcher issues

I use the standard Windows Defender. I hope this helps. I also tried to run the games on an older computer, while extremely laggy the games start and run normally.

@Silsley 

I just saw a very similar problem on an other 2 core CPU, the MELE system requirements list 4 core 4 threads CPUs as minimum, your CPU has only 2 cores 2 threads so I can't say if there is a hardware limit causing this, even if ME3 runs.

The error message in regards to ME1 is one that is often related to driver problems.

Use a different audio output and if that don't works disable all audio devices in the device manager > Restart the PC > test.

If that don't helps:

• Follow this manual to the letter to cleanly uninstall all NVIDIA components.
• Install the graphics driver. > Go online.
• Test.

Lets try to force Windowed mode:
(This guide describes ME1, but it works for ME2 as well, you just need to replace ME1 with ME2)

• Go to your ">disk<\Origin Games\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\Config" folder.
• Copy the "GamerSettings.ini" and paste it to your Desktop so you have a backup.
• Open the "GamerSettings.ini" in a text editor. (the Windows Editor for example.)
• Set Fullscreen=False
• Set BorderlessWindow=False
• Set ResX=1600
• Set ResY=900
• Save the file!
  If there are no entries for "BorderlessWindow" or "Fullscreen"
• Copy the lines below this line into the bottom of the "GamerSettings.ini" and Save!
  
  [SystemSettings]
  BorderlessWindow=False
  Fullscreen=False
  QualityBloom=False
  DynamicShadows=False
  UseVSync=False
  LightEnvironmentShadows=False
  MaxCharacterCinematicLightingPasses=3
  EnableLightEnvSHLights=False
  MotionBlur=False
  FilmGrain=False
  AntiAliasing=True
  ResX=1600
  ResY=900
  MouseSensitivity=75
  UseMouseDampening=True
  AmbientOcclusion=True
  MonitorIndex=0
  
  
• Test the game.

You can change the settings in game to what you desire if the game runs.

@Silsley 

Yes, that are standard entries at the top of the GamerSettings.ini.

You did added the entries I posted?

@Silsley 

And you installed Windows 10 fresh?
You used the drivers from your motherboard manufacturer and tried on a minimal Windrows installation, just the drivers Origin and the game?

@Silsley 

Than I am afraid that this is indeed a hardware limitation.
