Windows 10 x64, Version 1703

R9 Fury/R9 Nano Crossfire (with latest drivers as of time of writing)

 

Forcing Crossfire off for the game in Radeon Settings makes it launch normally, otherwise I get the same black window as everyone else. Tried all the suggested fixes in this thread.

Game didn't launch at all post patch, no errors though. Tried to go offline and the game launched fine, turned origin online while in the game. Since that the game launches as before. Maybe will help someone here.

Thank you @NicoIndigo for confirming this as a workaround for now. And big thanks to all our players for additional information on this. I will pass all of it to the developers. 

 

Cheers,

That seems to have worked for me also.

 

what i did step by step:

Step1: right click Mass Effect Andromeda icon on your desktop.

Step2: Click > Open File Location

Step3: Delete the .exe file ( i deleted both trial and normal version )

Step4: go back to origin

Step5: Start mass effect (now it will download what its missing)

Step6: Start game once its done downloading

 

Hope this helps you guys out. goodluck

I have the same error, nothing works (repair, clean boot, offline, eraising exe, etc.) what I did noticed thou is that the exe file date is exactly the same one as the Trial therefor it is downgraded comparing to the updated files (after erasing it and applying patch).... maybe thats why?

 

My specs are:

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 14393)

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300HQ CPU @ 2.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.3GHz

DirectX Version: DirectX 12

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
