Re: MELE Fail to Launch through steam

If you open it through Steam after installing the EA app, does it still give the pop-up? I'm sorry this is happening to you! This launcher just gets worse and worse, I swear.

  • Hm, I'm guessing you've already tried to verify the game files etc etc. I wish the error pop-ups would at least have a code like normal ones, so we could google it and see what's going on :-/ How are we supposed to help each other like this lol

    yeah I have literally tried everything. and I don't understand why it has to go through the EA app in the first place i bought it through steam let me launch it on steam. 

    PlayStation and Xbox don't have to go through the broken launcher. Why do you have to if you are on pc it makes no sense it's so annoying and tedious.

    If it is happening again after a EA app update, disable the "run as Administrator" setting in the"MassEffectLauncher.exe".
    Should fix this issue.
