Red lines everywhere in mass effect legendary(me1,me2,me3)

I have weird red lines over everything(this only happened on mass effect, I played alan wake 2, cyberpunk 2077, dead space and digimon cybersleuth with no issues). 

I'm on a 5080, windows 10 64bits 22h2

The issue persisted on driver 572.83 and 576.52.

    After testing a lot of stuff I came with a solution, the culprit in my case was Depth of Field. 

    You need to edit the config file "GamerSettings.ini" in :

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\Config

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME2\BioGame\Config

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME3\BioGame\Config

    You need to add the following line at the end of [SystemSettings]

    DepthOfField=False

  • Just to check: Are you using a nvidia graphics card? If so is Gsync enabled in the Nvidia control panel? I turned it off and the red lines went away. Will do more testing, but so far this seems to fix it. Andromeda had a similar issue with gsync.

  • Yes,  I'm on a rtx 5080, currently on driver 572.83. I don't have a freesync/gsync display, is there a way to bruteforce disable it even if I don't have one?

    Thanks for the solution. I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to fix it. The only thing now is that the mouse won't move the camera...because I think the joysticks are activated automatically.

    Thank you for this. This was a saviour as I had the same issue and nothing else had worked. Can't find a config folder for ME2 or ME3 though?
