Re: [PC] Possible workarounds for Mass Effect Legendary Edition launch problems.
Both the launcher and the game crash with a NULL_POINTER_READ access violation.
That means it trays to access a memory address that is inside the first 64kb of memory and this space is reserved by the OS.
The problem is that this can have many reasons, code corruption, a hardware fault and more.
If you did not do it until now, preform a clean boot , disable your virus scanner and other security software as well as Afterburner or similar software if you use them, and test the Game in clean boot mode.
If that don't helps:
- Hit Windows key and X.
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered.
- Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
- If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
- Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key and X again.
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command Prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes. >ENTER.
- Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.
