ME3 Could Not Activate/Keeps Making New License Folder
Around 8/10/25 I updated my bios and installed a new cpu and got the "could not activate/product key" pop up. Moving the License folder from the EA Services folder worked at first but as of 8/15/25 its now just generating a new License folder and neither deleting or moving them has worked. I looked around the forums and tried a few solutions that EA_Shepard and others have suggested. Reinstalling EA App, reinstalling ME3, using Revo Uninstaller to completely uninstall and reinstall everything again, changing/moving/deleting the License folder after killing Steam, EA App, and the EA Background thingy with task manager and clearing the temp folder. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
ME1 Launch issues
The Mass Effect LE launcher works, but when launching ME1, you can hear the music and see the cursor, but there is no rendered window. The taskbar shows that the app is open, but the window has no contents and just shows the desktop. I tried validating game files, launching through EA and launching from .exe in the binaries\win64 folder.
Help! Mass Effect Andromeda wont launch
I've been trying to make this thing work for a few days now. I've looked at task manager, watched the game boot for a second then die again. the EA app suggestions aren't helpful so far.

Hello. I am on a Macbook Pro 2024 running ME:LE through crossover 25.0.1 When I try to boot up the game it either gets stuck on "preparing game", or EAcefsubprocess.exe crashes. When I try to boot up ea app I get greeted with a tall gray rectangle, using it offline also doesn't work. Any help will be appreciated P.S: I know I haven't explained my issue very well so apologies in advance, I can further clarify my current situation. Thanks
Suggestion:New Mass Effect
Hey everyone, fellow Mass Effect fans! I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while now and I'd love to hear what you all think about it. It's about connecting the Mass Effect 3 endings with the new game and the potential return of Shepard. My thought is that BioWare could allow us to import our saves from ME3 with any ending, but the dialogue options related to romantic relationships and full Shepard continuity would only unlock if you chose the "Destroy" ending where Shepard survives. This could be explained by the nanotechnology from the Lazarus Project. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it would help BioWare elegantly bridge the story and also respect player choices? Let me know in the comments. Thank you!
[PC] - MELE 2 ACT 3 UNPLAYABLE!! Can't enter Omega-4 Relay!
Hello! I am a new Mass Effect player who is about to finish MELE 2 with an imported Custom Female Shepard (was modded with cosmetics and textures, but I had restored the game back to vanilla). I am playing the game on Steam. I had just finished all the assignments I could possibly find along with finishing all the missions, including the completion of installing the Reaper IFF. After the last cutscene of the Normandy Assault where we played as Joker, I realised that the interactable NPCs (Kelly, Doctor Chakwas, and Mess Sergeant Gardner) were still present in the Normandy despite the mission stating that ALL crew members were abducted by the Collectors. I already felt that there was a problem upcoming. As soon as I clicked on the Omega-4 Relay on the map, it had no option to land. My only option available was to press the back button, but the Journal stated that I need to enter the Omega-4 Relay for my next mission. Basically, the game became unplayable after the Reaper IFF installation. On another note, another small bug's been lingering in my game, and I wonder if it has contributed to the existence of the Omega-4 Relay bug. I have Dossier: The Assassin still marked incomplete in Journal, even though Thane has already been recruited and became loyal. It says I have to go to Dantius Bridge but it's practically impossible since I already completed the mission. I assumed it was because my game was modded, so here's a list of what I've tried to fix the game: Restored my ENTIRE MELE game to back to vanilla. Deleted game progress until I was back to the mission where I obtain the Reaper IFF and replayed from that point onwards in vanilla. Still same result. Replayed Thane's recruitment mission, but I still have his mission marked incomplete in Journal. Got Steam to verify file integrity but no corrupt files were found after I restored the game to vanilla. I will attach the related files here. Hopefully I can get my game fixed! I would like to get to this issue as soon as possible as I want to get my Shepard imported to MELE 3 and obtain the Long Service Medal achievement!! Thank you :]! *Note, I found a user on Reddit with my exact same issue (Dossier: The Assassin bug included). They stated that they are also playing MELE on Steam with no mods, so I assume mods may not be the issue for the bug?
achievements are not unlocked
I just finished Mass Effect 2 via Steam, and I got a romance with Miranda and completed it on Insanity. When I did this, the respective achievements were not unlocked. I clarify that I never touched anything about the difficulty. I spent 42 hours playing to get the Platinum, and this is happening to me.😢😢Terrible Service In General
So I recently redownloaded Star Wars battlefront 2 loaded it up to a password being expired due to being logged off so long come to the realization I don’t have that email or phone number from 2017 but I have the same account fully updated etc (I just don’t play a lot EA Play) I have been drastically trying to get my Old EA account unlinked from my Xbox account because it’s a once a lifetime link and I can’t play or link a new EA! I have had Microsoft tell me they couldn’t unlink but provide any assistance with my account so I’m chatting with an EA support member whilst on the phone with Microsoft these answers are from the Source of my account and it’s entirety, only to be told they couldn’t match my indentity with their systems which is going off of 2017-2018 information with no updates since then. Terrible Experience Full Loss of a game I paid for due to this and the support person was just so unhelpful but I guess ima have to make a Smurf account to enjoy ma game smh. I can play on pc and I do but this game isn’t cross play with Xbox/PS so solo runs yaaaay
