[Steam] Can't launch Mass Effect Andromeda

@D_RoZDeckii 

The " error EC:203." is an EA app error, but if I get you right EA app is usually working for you?

It the game files are still inside the EA app folder deinstall the game and reinstall it.

Then 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.

I have reinstalled the game on Steam. I don't know if i need to move it to ea app again, so I didn't do that and just started DxDiag. Here it is.

Ea app working fine fro other games such as Apex Legends and Battlefield 4, but for this one idk what happened. It just can't launch.

No, don't move files over, it should start from the Steam folder anyway.

There are no EA app or Andromeda specific errors in the DxDiag.

Please go to your "Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect Andromeda\Temp" folder.

It should contain Andromeda Crash Dump (*.dmp) files.
Zip 2 or 3 of them together and upload them to a free file hosting site such as "OneDrive" or "Dropbox".
Post the link to the file here.

Theres no such folder as "Temp" folder. I got only "Save" folder on the path you just written. Might it be an issue I encountered?

@D_RoZDeckii 

• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
• In the new Window, type or copy and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) > Press ENTER
• Look if there are any "MassEffectAndromeda.Xxxx.dmp" files in the "..Local\CrashDumps" folder.
• Zip 2 - 3 "MassEffectAndromeda.Xxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at a free file hosting service like Dropbox or Onedrive.
• Post the link here.

If there aren't any dump files of ME:

• Press the Windows key > Write: Command Prompt > Right click on "Command Prompt" in the search results > Run as administrator.
• Copy and paste:
  reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD
  into the prompt Window > Press ENTER.
• Play the game until it crashes.
• After the game crashes, let all Windows crash dialogues finish.
• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. > Type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) into the new window > Press ENTER.
• Zip 2 - 3 "MassEffect1.exe.Xxxx.dmp" or "MassEffectLauncher.exeXxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at file hosting service like Dropbox or you can use the Onedrive "public" folder.
• Post the link here.
  
  
  If you want to undo the automatic dump creation, use the command below in a elevated command prompt (As in point 1) reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" /f

@holger1405 
And that didn't work for me too. I did all you said step by step, even tried to 

Copy and paste:
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD

but, anyway, when I trying to launch MEA it not launches. And CrashDumps folder dont have any of MEA files. Only ME1. 2 and 3 with the date of creation when I played them.

@D_RoZDeckii 

So after using the command in an elevated command prompt there are no Dump files in the "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" folder after you tried to run the game?

@holger1405 
Yeah. Exactly. No dump files.

@D_RoZDeckii 

Then it seems the game is not starting at all.

Please preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.

Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.

Make also sure there are no compatibility settings or "Run as Administrator" set in the "MassEffectAndromeda.exe"

@holger1405 
Aaand.. Its didnt help. I tried to start the game in clean boot mode but it did nothing again. I clicked Run as Admin, tho. May be i should try to do a troubleshooting scan, or whatever this thing called, while im in clean boot mode?
Also I have noticed one interesting thing. When im trying to lauch the game from EA App it opens steam, which trying to open another EA App by opening two empty windows which are supposed to be a "Log in" page. It opens EA App anyway but... Might it be connected to this issue?
