Unable to launch
I installed the game from steam. I went to launch the game. The loading bar pops up for a few seconds then nothing happens. I have no idea what is wrong. I have tried everything. Reinstalling Directx...

Some steps for "ME1 Won't Launch":
1. Ensure you have at least game version 1.02 (absolutely required to run under Win7 or Win8).
New EA/Origin installs, including all "Trilogy" ones, will be more recent. But Amazon, or GameStop, or others may still have older copies.
(Steam users who do not have a current version will need to talk to Valve.)
2. Set MassEffect.exe to run in "WinXP (SP3)" compatibility mode.
3. Ditch (uninstall) the Steam verison get the EA/Origin one. Your porduct code is valid, so no charge.
