So i decided to get the mass effect games recently and when i try and open Mass Effect 1 it says "syncing cloud data" and then nothing happens. What is the problem and how do i fix it?

Hi guys, most of u using Windows 8 or above already, thats the reason why the game wont start. Please click onto the desktop shortcut of Mass effect 1 with the right mouse button, choose Properties, change tab to Compatibility, mark Run this program in compatibility mode for: chose Windows 7, and to be sure click Run this program as an administrator. Click Apply and Ok, happy gaming

i had the same issue. I ran the compatibility check on the shortcut launcher then right clicked on the game in origin and ran the repair game. It now works for me. Hope this helps anyone.
