Mass Effect 1 2007 CD-Ver
Hello, I've been tinkering with an old Pentium 4 machine these last days and wanted to install my Mass Effect 1 CD-ver game on it (Running WinXP, 32-bit). The problem i'm having is when I try to launch the game, it gives an error message saying: "The game can not start. The game needs access to the internet in order to verify ownership of this game. Please ensure that your computer is online and try again" I know for a fact that it is connected to the internet and there is a stable connection, so my only conclusion is that the EA/ME servers for verification has been taken offline. Is there no way to get this game to work on an old XP 32-bit machine? As far as I know support for EA APP/Origin for 32-bit systems has ended, which also makes it impossible to buy through that storefront. Now I know I could just install a 64-bit system, but i'm trying to run it on legacy hardware. Any way to solve the connection/verify issue without having to upgrade to 64-bit?
ME 3 Multiplayer, cant play with my friends
So yesterday out of nostalgy i convinced my friend to buy a copy of Mass Effect 3. She activated it, downloadet it but EA app doesnt show her any add ons except Extended cut. It is a problem because when we try to play multiplayer together it shows we cant play together because I have multiplayer add ons (Reckoning, Earth...) that were free updates and she doesnt. Unfortunately i cant just simply deactivate them or something. Does anyone have an advice on what to do with it?
Mass Effect 3 Online Pass Error
Hi I'm having issues with accessing multiplayer mode. I haven't had issues in the past. I've previously owned Gamepass/EA Play so suspect this has broken something at some point, as I no longer have access to multiplayer. I've tried deleting the licence file, and reinstalling, repairing but this hasn't worked. EA_Shepard hi as requested I've made a topic, thanks :)
Mass Effect 3 Could Not Activate
Hi, I was playing Mass Effect 3 single player and multiplayer without problems a few days ago and now it says "could not activate", I've tried many ways to solve it like deleting the License folder multiple times but the issue persists, can somebody help me with this? or should I just uninstall the game and forget it existed?
Controller Not Working - Mass Effect Legendary Edition Steam
System: PC Windows 10 Purchased on Steam Latest EA App Version 13.482.0.5995 I recently reinstalled Legendary Edition to replay the trilogy and no matter what I try I cannot get my controller to connect (I have PS5 and a generic xbox controller). I remember playing with controller just fine back in 2021 and the best I can find online is that this seems to be an ongoing issue with the EA App itself. I bought the game on steam, I have adjusted every possible controller setting on there. I have tried adding EADesktop as a non-steam game, and that does show the controller in the Legendary menu, but once I boot up ME1 it no longer shows any controller options. If anyone has any other work arounds to try that would be great!
