Here is the workaround description posted on this board.
Here is the Origin download link.

@holger1405 Alas, they "fixed the glitch". I followed what you posted and ME1 actually downloads, but still won't play. It also nerfed ME2 which by some miracle just started to work, now it's a pretty paper weight. Thanks for your post, it really showed promise.. but the EA gods are mighty and powerful. I am about to just lay down because I am whipped fighting this.. Thanks again... best of luck to you in your future!
So ME1 is installed now but wont run, did I get this right?
If so create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
Community ManagerHi everyone,
When you have the chance would you mind grabbing EA app Error Report IDs so we can take a look at this?
For more info on how you can find the Report ID check out the EA Help website. Once you have the Report ID please respond to this thread and include it in your post. We just need the Report ID itself, not the actual error log files.
Thanks!
