Mass Effect won't let me play.

[Whodat]

So I bought Mass Effect yesterday on Steam and waited till 12:30 for it to finish. When it finshed I got on my PC and tried to play it, but what happened instead was the little blue loading ring right next to the cursor and thats it. It dissapears and nothing works. I try running as admin I defraged the files I verified the files and I went all the way through to the fille and used the launcher but nothing worked. Help!

Odd. Is your PC up to spec to begin with?.

It's clear what's happened.

The Reapers are coming.

We tried to warn you but you wouldn't listen...

This is also an entirely plausible explanation!.

You're had it mate...run!

Does running Crysis on Very High at 50 FPS count?

What are your machines speshifications? *Perks up metaphorical glasses*
Go into run > dxdiag and tell me.

Mass Effect hates you.

That is what you get for using digital distribution.

 

[CuddlyCombine]

Update your drivers.

Old drivers are the cause of all driver-related problems.

the crysis thing is no indicator, Mass effect on PC is pretty damn picky about what graphics card it likes

Well if your machine can run Crysis on a high setting then Mass Effect shouldn't be a problem. Either somewhere between that time you acquired a driver problem or it was a bad download from Steam.

Maybe someone else would know for certain but I got no clue, sorry.

Make steam have admin rights, solves almost every problem.
