Mass Effect 3 cloud save appears to be corrupted , and the game crashes on launch. This happened to me years ago before the EA app replaced Origin. Then, I simply disabled cloud saves and that fixed the problem. The EA app doesn't allow that. Is there any workaround to this? I've tried blocking the EA background service and other tasks through my firewall, but it still won't launch - it crashes every time when it tries to sync with the cloud, and I cannot find a way to have it not try to sync.Mass Effect 3 won't launch
So I go to launch Mass Effect 3 and it says it could not activate the game on the computer using the Origin account. Origin has not been used for years, and in all the other times I have played Mass Effect 3 on the EA app, it never did anything like that before, and it didin't do anythign similar to the other two games in the trilogy. Even odder is that when I go to put in the product key, it says I'm not connected to the Internet, even though I blatantly am. Something is seriously wrong here, and it isin't anything on my end. Repairing and uninstalling, then reinstalling didin't help either, so it is something on the EA app's end.We could not activate Mass Effect 3 on this computer
A couple of nights ago, I tried to play Mass Effect 3, and the EA app opened a window that said We could not activate Mass Effect 3 on this computer using the origin account you provided. please locate your product key to activate the game using your origin account. !? I have owned this game for many years. I contacted EA and the person couldn't fix the issue. I got a really stupid idea that if I bought it on Steam, I could play it. Well, no. same message. I contacted EA again and because my original copy disappeared my from my library replaced my a steam copy, I could no longer prove I owned the game and I was refused help and basically called a liar when i said I owned it. Sure, there was no purchase history for the game but my son bought me the trilogy as a gift many years ago. Ok, fine. I bought another copy from EA, thinking this would solve the problem, but no. The copy i had just bought is not in my library and so, still no product key and no solution. I was directed to come here and post as many details as I could to try to resolve this since I will never get to play ME3 ever again if i can't get this mess fixed. someone, please help me with this.Solved158Views0likes7CommentsMass Effect Legendary Edition
Hello. Is it possible to play Mass Effect Legendary Edition offline on Steam? When I launch the game on Steam, it redirects to EA and requires connecting to the network, before that I set the offline mode in EA. It still doesn't help. What should I do? Or is it impossible to play offline? Please help!!!Unable to start ME3 from the LE launcher
I had ME LE on EA app and had already finished ME 1, ME2, currently half way through ME3. However, today when I launch ME3 through the launcher, it appears to be loading at first (ME 3 Shepard loading picture followed by a green planet loading background), but then it returns back to the LE launcher menu. I tried multiple times but ME3 just wouldn’t start. It just sent me back to the LE launcher menu again and again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The below fixes were tried but none of them worked: repairing, updating the latest NVIDIA driver, using Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support, restarting PC, closing background apps, restarting EA, clicking “start” instead of “resume” for ME3Solved131Views0likes6CommentsME3 LE PC crash after clicking resume or start on homescreen
I have played through the legendary edition before already. This playthrough I got to the very end of the game right before starting the final 2 missions, and I was in the citadel dlc about to start the part. The night prior my game was a little slow but nothing crazy. Now once i hit the main menu my game crashes if i click resume or start me3. My other games play just fine its just me3 crashing. I have verified the steam game integrity, uninstalled norton antivirus, deleted and redownloaded the game, updated my graphics drivers. Nothing has worked.SolvedUnable To Launch Mass Effect 3 in The EA app
Hi I bought ME3 a few months ago on steam. It played fine for 3.5 hrs. Then got a msg saying I need to load the app and if I had I needed to relink it. I have it but there's no option to re link it. The error msg no longer comes up and the game just doesn't launch.
