Re: Masseffect 2 crashes when exiting shadow broker mission

Not a problem, I managed to fix my problem a couple of hours after OP lol

In case anybody else has this problem on the Steam version of Mass Effect 2, right click it in your Steam library, then go Properties > Installed Files > Browse, and then double click 'Binaries' in the Mass Effect 2 folder.

I then right-clicked ME2Game.exe, and then 'Create Shortcut'. I then right-clicked the new shortcut, and in the Target box put " -nomoviestartup" (INCLUDING THE SPACE!) immediately after the text already in it, clicked Apply. I then ran Mass Effect 2 as an administrator through the new shortcut. I was finally able to get off the Shadow Broker's ship without the game crashing, and can now get back to playing (and launching the game as usual through Steam) without any issues.

Thanks for the help to all the other forum-goers, hopefully this will help anyone that's tried lots of other options that haven't worked.

I see my link was not working correctly. This should work too:

Right clicking ME2 in your Steam game library > Properties > add " -nomoviestartup" (without the quotes) into the "Launch Options" field at the bottom.
