Close Origin completely. 

Go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2" folder and move the "Save" folder to your Desktop. > Test.

You're welcome.

One of your save games or one of the ini files is corrupt. If it is a save game you can find out which one be testing them one by one or in small groups if you have many.

I have a problem when i try to enter the game. When i click the icon, even if i open it from origin, it shows me that it's loading and then stops. Not even a black screenor the usual "has stopped working" message. I tried everything that was written on this post or other posts and i still can't solve it.

Please create a DxDiag in text file format, also go to your Reliability monitor (Press the windows key and "R" at the same time and copy or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in > ENTER and look if it has ME2 entries.

If yes double click at the last one, copy it to the clipboard, (Bottom left corner) save it to a text file and load it up together with the DxDiag. You can do that with the "choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

Are these ones good?

@Dutzu05

Yes they are perfect.

Go to your ">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries\Core" folder and delete the "ActivationUI.exe"

Then repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME2 > Repair) > test.

If that don't helps, go to your ">Drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder and rename the "MassEffect2.exe" to "MassEffect2Launcher.exe"

Then rename the "ME2Game.exe" to "MassEffect2.exe" > test.

If that also don't helps, run the Windows System File Checker Sfc /scannnow and post the concluding message.

Didn't work... This is the message after the scan :  Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations

Please clear your Origin cache.
 
All settings in Origin (only in Origin not in the games) are back to default settings after this.)

    - close Origin completely. (right click on the Origin symbol in the task bar > close)
    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    - Type or copy  "%ProgramData%/Origin" (without quotes) > hit ENTER
    - Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for the "LocalContent" folder. (The "LocalContent" folder must remain untouched.)

    - Delete the "Mass Effect 2" folder in the "LocalContent" folder.
    - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    - Type or copy "%AppData%" (without quotes)  > hit ENTER
    - Now your Windows explorer should have brought you to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Roaming" folder
    - Delete the "Origin"  folder inside the "Roaming" folder
    - In the address bar of your Windows explorer click on the word "AppData".
    - Open the "Local" folder
    - Delete the "Origin"  folder inside the  "Local" folder
    - Restart your PC. > test

If that also not works, create a new Windows user account (Administrator) > reboot > log in to the new account and teste the game there.

Leave it to Origin. To create problems.  Earlier this year I was able to run all Mass Effect games.  Then by August I had problems with mass 4, mass 3 and now mass 2.  Getting back to mass 4. That problem got resolved by doing a full windows 10 reinstall.  If you talk to the so called experts at Origin, they are quick to blame windows 10 for the problems.  With Mass 3 and 2 its a direct x issue I am seeing.  You try to tell them that the game was working up to some point. May as well be talking to a wall.  Tried to complain about all of the BS I seen from about 90% of there support staff.  The last 3 times I tried they wanted a read out of the system.  They don't have any direct answers.  No wonder Mass effect 4 wasn't accepted.  So much for bioware making decent games, they have a support staff (Origin) is pretty much a laughing stock of the industry.  They owe their customers better.  Not cop out answers.
