Forum Discussion
You followed the instructions in the other thread to the letter? (You replaced both DLLs?)
Did you rebooted your machine afterwards?
If yes try this:
- Disable Origins "cloud saves" feature for ME3.
- Move the "Save" folder from your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3" directory to your desktop. > test.
Yeah I made sure to replace both dlls (while maintaining the old ones which are just renamed in the Core folder). And have restarted since a couple of times.
Moving the Save folder/disabling cloud saving doesn't seem to do anything other then the launching notification no longer happens. The error report seems to be the same.
Please move the "BIOGame" folder from "Documents\Mass Effect 3" also to your desktop. > test.
Did you repaired the game after you replaced the DLLs? If so replace them again. > test
Disable the real time scanner of your antivirus software. > test.
If that don't helps go to your ">drive:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\__Installer\vc\vc2005sp1\redist" folder and run the "vcredist_x86.exe" and the "vcredist_x64.exe" as Administrator. > reboot.
Do the same with the "vcredist_x86.exe" and the "vcredist_x64.exe" under ">drive:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\__Installer\vc\vc2008sp1\redist" > reboot > test.
Can't recall if I originally ran the repair before or after adding the dlls so I went ahead and moved them back from downloads to the Core folder. No luck.
Disabled anti-virus and real time protection. Both Windows and regular anti-virus. Reenabled at this point post testing.
Moved BIOGame to desktop alongside Save.
Ran the executables. With the one in repair mode that had options for 2008 x86 version.The others just ran normally.
Error log is still listing awc.dll as the issue though. Thanks for all of your help trying to resolve this.
