ME 1 LE minimizes to desktop after launch
hi everyone! yesterday i re-installed MELE and played ME1 for a couple of hours with no issues. today I restarted it, but it keeps minimizing to desktop after launch. I already tried everything i found online, but there's no way to make it run properly again. my save folder is on my local disk, not on onedrive, and always has been there since i still have the last run's saved games i tried to move the save folder to desktop but nothing changed setting the game priority to high didn't change anything i tried spam-pressing alt+enter to force borderless windowed mode when ME1 starts, but nothing happened I can't manually change it because my gamesettings file doesn't show but three lines that have nothing to do with fullscreen: [AppCompat] CompatLevelComposite=5 CompatLevelCPU=5 CompatLevelGPU=5 running the game in admin mode had no effect i closed any background apps to no avail nvidia experience doesn't interfere because it says that MELE can't be optimised from there i don't remember having any issues the last time I played, and in the meantime the only thing that changed is that I updated to Windows 11. any other option? i'm not a ME1 hater, so I'd rally love to play the trilogy from the beginning and make my own choices. and by the way it's insane that I paid full price when MELE came out, but after all this time the same issues still persist.
Mass Effect 1 Won't Launch (Mods Installed)
Hello I am new to modding and PC gaming in general and couldn't find anything about my specific issue. Today I reinstalled mass effect, played for a bit, and activated the mods I have used in the past via me3 tweaks and took great pains to ensure compatibility again just in case something had changed. At first when I launched ME from the launcher it would take a very long time for the game to actually start with the occasional crash. When the problem persisted, I went to backup and the backups I made are gone, maybe I screwed something up on Me3 tweaks unknowingly? So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice now. ME2 and ME3 launch perfectly fine from the launcher and ME crashes in less than a minute and sends me back to the launcher. I thought it was perhaps the EA app at one point so I now launch from origin, steam, and from me3 tweaks directly and nothing works as far as ME1 goes. Have I irreparably screwed this thing? And apologies that I'm not very knowledgeable about computers. This is the first issue I've run into with modding anything and I did a full playthrough of the trilogy last year on PC with several mods and it went very smoothly.
