Unable to Start Mass effect 2!
I purchased the Mass Effect Trilogy a few weeks ago and found that neither Mass Effects 1 or 2 would work. I attempted to intall and reinstall both games and still the same problem. I checked my computers specs and found that they were in fact proper for the games(Proven when I could run Mass Effect 3). I then looked up solutions to my problems with Mass Effect 2(decided to focus on one game at a time) and none of EA or Origin's solutions worked. Nor did any other solution work. Before it would go to a black screen before showing a program error. Now the game itself won't even show up after both trying to play it through Origin and just clicking the desktop Icon. It will not even show up in my task manager, meaning the game itself is not starting up. This may have to do with the fact that both EACore.dll and EACoreServer.exe are missing. I attempted to solve this with the solution EA provided however like the rest of my attempts, it failed(THANKS FOR NOTHING EA!). If anyone has a solution to my problem, please tell me because I am getting sick and tired of not being able to play one of the three games I spent 40 dollars on.
Your graphics chipset is below the system requirements of any of the Mass Effect games. A graphics card is required and Intel only makes integrated graphics processors, which are decent for YouTube videos, but not video games.
Your processor is below the system requirements of ME2 and ME3, which require a Core 2 Duo processor or higher. The Pentium Dual Core is known to cause issues.
You may be able to launch games even if you're below the system requirements, but it's no guarantee. In order to play the ME trilogy without issues, you will need a graphics card with Nvidia or AMD chipsets that meet the requirements and at least a Core 2 Duo processor or AMD equivalent. Due to the age of your processor, getting a whole new system is prefferable to an upgrade.
