Unable to launch Mass Effect 2
So I tried to start Mass Effect 2 again after 3 years, this time after finishing Mass Effect 1, but the game doesn't even start and it takes me back to Origin. I tried with the file names MassEffect2...

Try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME2 > Repair) and disable "Origin in game".
@holger1405 I disable Origin in game and repair the game but still the game does not work.
- Turn off "Cloud storage" in Origin.
(Origin menu > Origin > Application Settings > Install & Saves > Cloud storage > Off (Grey) - Make sure Origin is closed.
- Go to "C:\Users\>your username>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2" folder and move the "Save" folder and the "BIOGame" folder to your desktop.
(Just to make this clear, the named folders must be gone from the "C:\Users\>your username>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2" path.) - Go to ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder and move the "MassEffect2.exe", the "MEGame2.exe" and the "MassEffect2Config.exe" (the last one could also be a higher one) to your desktop.
- Go to "">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2" and delete the "data" folder.
- Start Origin > inside the Origin Game library click on "Download" for ME2 again > after the installation finished > reboot > Test.
- @holger1405 I did everything you wrote but it still doesn't work
- Turn off "Cloud storage" in Origin.
