windows 8 not compatible?

I have a copy of mass effect that worked fine on my previous computer but won't work on my new windows 8. I gat tried changing the compatibility settings but this still won't let the program play. When I click play configuration tries to start and then crashes. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • ME1 is totally playable with Win8.  Just finished three complete playthroughs on my Win8 Pro/64-bit rig to get the Insanity Achievement.  Again.

    Two suggestions:

    1)  Make sure the EA/Origin client (if you launch the game that way) is set to "Run as Administrator", and;

    2) Follow the instructions found in this topic: [Information] Mass Effect 1 and Windows 7 - You need patch 1.02 to play, which is pinned to the top of this forum.  (Applies to Win8 as well.)

    EDIT:  Hey MLadyD7, thanks for linking to my previous solution.   😕mileywink:

    I just updated it with some additional info I've learned since then, (already included in this post.)
