Re: [PC] Mass Effect 3 Won't Launch

  • Make sure EA app and Steam are closed.
  • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
  • Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
  • Move the "License" folder to your desktop.
  • Test.

    I've tried this. I even tried this and the Revo uninstaller method and also deleted the file inside the license folder. Still the same issue. I tried uninstalling EA app and clearing cache. Redownloading the game and still the same. I even tried making a new admin account on my Windows 11 pc. Uninstalled EA app cleared cache. Redownload ME 3 moved the license to desktop on this new admin account and still the same issue. Do you have anymore bright ideas? I fully suspect this is a backend issue on the server side because it wont register my product key and gives me the error of me potentially being offline when I fully am able to use the sign in option to log in with my origin account.

  • Wow, after trying about a million things, moving the license folder worked.  Thank you!!!!!!

    I just wanted to add that my game also didn't launch anymore and what fixed it was disabling MSI Afterburner. I hope this might help some people.
