Hey :D

Ive did it 3 times now following what it says and it still happens the same way. I can start Mass Effect 3 but whenever i load or start a new game, it goes to the loading screen, freezes, crashes then boots me back to the menu where you select which Mass Effect you want to play

@MstrR3N2 

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

Preparation:
- Make sure the "EABackgroundService" remains enabled under point 3 in the guide.
- Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.
- Make sure any Razer/CORSAIR/ASUS software is disable or deinstalled and that your GPU & CPU are not overclocked.
- Make sure only your Mouse and keyboard are connected to the PC (Disconnect any USB3 devices you might have!)
