ME3 won't run

★★ Novice

Can't get Mass Effect 3 to run on my PC.  The game has run over 50hrs in the past.  I'm not getting any error messages, nothing happens at all after clicking Play.  I noticed that MOH is doing the same thing however MOH 2 is working.  Any thoughts?  I've deleted and reinstalled Origin and messed around with some settings w/ no luck.

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.

I'll look at the DxDiag and post it of this doesn't help.  Thanks for your help.

 

I changed the location of my documents folder from my C drive to my E drive, could that be a problem?

I also remember having an issue w/ a dll called EACore.dll in the past.  Honestly I think I typed " EACore.dl" into a config file as a joke and it fixed it! It was a long time ago, maybe that's now a problem??  

 

Thanks again.

So that fixed it, I thank you.  What is a EAcore.dll, what does it do, and why do I have so many issues w/ Origin and that dll?  If you don't mind me asking. 

 

Thanks again!

 

Do you think this will fix MOH?

You're welcome, and thanks for the XP.

 

The "EAcore.dll" is loaded by the "eacoreserver.exe" which is executed by the "MassEffect3.exe".

 

It is part of the internal activations and authorizing process of some EA games. 

 

I don't have MOH, so I am not entirely sure, but I think MOH is not using the "EAcore.dll".
