Hello
I have the same Problem with a windows 7 system (bought the game today). I tried all the given tips but it wont install the goddamn game.
btw I also have problems to get my mass effect 3 upgrade recognised. Origin keeps tellin me that I have to renew my access subscrption although I bought the upgrade today just before my subscription ended. I also had crashes while I was browsing the origin store. Maybe there lies the problem
For the installation problem, I will come back to you tomorrow, it is very late very I am now.
In the meantime, create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
What do you mean with "mass effect 3 upgrade" upgrade from Standard to deluxe Edition?
For Access, Access is an subscription service, so in the moment your subscription ends, all content you got through Access are not longer available to you.
So you either must renew your access subscription or buy the upgrade in the store again.
Hi Holger1405
thx for your reply
In the meantime i have refunded the game at origin and bought it at steam (2 GBP more). The download and installation was no problem but I couldn't start it via steam. I also could not redeem the cd-key in origin. So i downloaded the two addon from EA,-> installed both -> made a desktop shortcut to the masseffect.exe in the binarys folder. Then I managed somehow to tell my system to run this in xp (sp2) compability mode and as administrator and voila everything went smooth.
I hope I will be able to transfer my savegame from the steam Mass Effect 1 to origin Mass Effect 2.
As for the Origin store. I think this is a total mess. I bought ME 3 and an upgrade to the deluxe edition (as this was a few pounds cheaper than buying the deluxe editon on its own) while I was still having access. Now it shows me a standard ME 3 which i own and a deluxe ME3 which I can play again via subscription renewal or purchase. Very confusing. I think I have all the content of the deluxe edetion as I could find the pdf-files of it.
I still couldn´t find a way to find out if the addon of the dlx ed is also playable. (as I still dont know how to play them at all in all Mass Effect titles) I am still a newvie to the game.
The location of the save games is the same regardless which client you use.
If you have a problem importing, refer to this thread.
For the ME3 DLCs, you can see the status of you DLCs by clicking the Game Cover of ME3 in your Origin Game Library > Extra content.
