Ok, try this:

- Close Origin. (right click at the Task Bar icon > Exit)

- Go here and download the two DLLs.

- Navigate to ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\Core" and rename the "awc.dll" and the "EACore.dll" to "old_awc.dll" and "Old_EACore.dll"

- Move the new "awc.dll" and "EACore.dll" files from the place you saved them into the directory listed above.

- Test the Game.

Hello,

I'm having this same problem - press 'play' but nothing happens...

The 'process' loads for a brief period of time in the 'Task Manager' but then disappears.

I tried the renaming dll's and then repairing the game, but it didn't work either.

Could you please provide a download link these same dlls you mentioned above? (i'm figuring they must be different versions, right?)

Hi there,

I have recently (2 days ago) downloaded ME3 (N7 Digital Deluxe edition) from Origin including the Citadel DLC. I've disabled the In-Game Origins and tried the previous .dll from the links in the prior posts but my computer still will not launch  ... or rather it launches but the window always minimizes to the taskbar and never runs past that. No game is running in the background either and will always default to the taskbar when I try to expand the window. 

Could you help me with this?

@Aikuchi001

Try to repair the game. (in Origin > my games > right click ME3 > Repair Game)

If that not works, create a DxDiag and post it with your next reply. You can do that  with the button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
