[PC] Possible workarounds for Mass Effect Legendary Edition launch problems.
If the game does not start for you, there are several possible workarounds: Notice: Mass Effect Legendary Edition will not run on Windows 7. LE1 & LE2 will not run on CPUs with only 2 physical or logical cores. (You need 4 logical cores.) If you changed the global settings inside the "Manage 3D Settings" panel of the NVIDIA control panel anytime in the past, look at this post. Disable "Controlled folder Access" of the Windows defender. Disabling OneDrive PC folder backup. Corruptions in the "License" folder might also keep the games from starting. Make sure Origin and Steam are closed. Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time Copy and paste C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services into the new window > hit ENTER. Move the "License" folder to your Desktop > Test. A overprotective Virus scanner or other security software could also block the access to game files. (If you use "Sophos Home Premium" or other Sophos products look at this post and this post .) Disabling Bluetooth on some motherboards fixed the issues for some players as well. The Nahimic audio service, which is installed with the Realtek audio drivers from some motherboard manufacturers like MSI or Asus, causes many problems, and here it does too, it seems. (The Realtek stand alone audio drivers normally don't have the Nahimic software installed.) ROG's Sonic Radar 3 is one of the apps that uses it. If you use a VPN, look at this post. Check if the regional settings of your EA account (not EA app) is set right . If you have the game on Steam and it will only launch EA app but not the game, a possible cause is in this thread. (Warning! This requires some deeper computer knowledge.) Fixed: If you have a Windows user name with special characters in it: Either: create an new Windows user account with only ASCII characters in it. > Reboot > Log on to the new account > Test. Or: Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. Type or copy and paste "control" into the new window. (Without the quotes) > Hit ENTER. Choose "Region" > Administrative Tools > Change Locale > Check "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" > klick "OK" Reboot > Test. This issue was fixed with Patch 1.03 It looks like the game requires a CPU with AVX instruction set It turned out that only the Launcher needs the AVX instruction set. Almost all CPUs built for end consumer use in the last 10 years have this instruction set. However, if you are not sure, you can check the technical specifications of your CPU on the manufacturer's website. If you have this problem, in this post by is a workaround for the problem. (As always, use third party tools at your own risk.) This issue was fixed with Patch 1.03

Thank you EA, for making me realise how bad FC26 is.
I've played the game for 2 months. I'm a casual player. Reached Div 3. Then decided I don't have much time for online play and my net wasn't so good at the time. Also, I've never minded the toxic community. In fact, I found it fun and challenging engaging with the toxic players whether in-game or in social media platforms. So I decided to stick to squad battles. Mind you, I had an insane team as well. However, squad battles was just unplayable. You've got the AI of the opponent team with just crazy dribbling, stuff you can't even do in the game and yes, my players cannot intercept their passes nor get the ball off of them. Understand that I had players with high strength and bruiser+ as well. Also, their AI defending compared to ours, it's just funny. You make it almost impossible to get the ball off of them when we defend manually but make my AI defenders just give their runners space. Their AI defenders, and even attackers, just get the ball off of my players that easily. Also they can catch up to my fastest players without even sprinting, idk if you know that and left it in the game or just ignored it altogether. And yes, I've tested out these mechanics with online play as well. I'm not just complaining about the gameplay, but your company's lack of effort to improve the game. Despite so many complaints, you guys at EA just fail to deliver. I really am disappointed because I've loved the FIFA games but it's just been a constant downhill since FIFA 19 and I always had high hopes for the upcoming FIFA but you guys kept disappointing. Honestly, idk if you guys actually listen to your player base or rather, you just listen to the big spenders. I doubt you even do that tbh. Either way, I'm glad you made sure not to improve the game and even though I tried so much to love the game, it just kept disappointing me. Thanks to your lack of effort, I can finally quit the game and I'll make sure not to purchase anymore of EA's FC or FIFA or whatever game you guys come up with in the future. And also, thanks to you guys, I've started enjoying eFootball more. Maybe play the game, you may just learn a thing or two from Konami. Cheers EA. P.S. I can't tell anyone how to enjoy or hate or play the game. Everyone has their own opinion but I would discourage others from playing the game if they ever truly wanted my opinion.
how do i freely rotate products in build mode?
I've looked online and it says to switch to sims 3 camera and hold down alt key this doesn't seem to be working for me on my laptop it just keeps showing me a symbol that looks like a camera and moving tool but doesn't do anything not seeing the grab hand everyone else seems to have? is there another way or what can i do please :)
