Re: [Steam] Unable To Launch Mass Effect Legendary Edition

@Chasestingray 

I checked your Windows Error Reporter, and there wasn't much in there, which is odd, being the game won't launch. What I did find though may be an issue.

Check Network Settings:

1. Ensure your internet connection is stable and working.
2. Disable VPN or proxy settings temporarily.

Reset network settings by running the following in Command Prompt (as Administrator):
cmd
CopyEdit
netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /renew

Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

1. Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
2. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter and follow its recommendations.

Reset Windows Update Components:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these commands:
cmd
CopyEdit
net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

This resets the Windows Update components.

Clear Microsoft Store Cache:

1. Open Run (Windows + R) and type wsreset.exe. Press Enter.
2. This will clear the cache for the Microsoft Store.

Verify Services are Running:

1. Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and ensure the following services are running:
• Windows Update (wuauserv)
• Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
• Cryptographic Services

Check for System File Corruption:

Run System File Checker and DISM to repair corrupted files:
cmd
CopyEdit
sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Review Proxy Settings:

Check and reset proxy settings:
cmd
CopyEdit
netsh winhttp reset proxy

Manually Install Updates:

1. If the issue persists, manually download and install updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
