Mass Effect 1 won't launch due to missing mods

★★★ Novice

Literally couldn't find anything on the internet so here I am.

 

So I installed some texture mods, I believe it was "MEUITM" and "A Lot Of Textures". Now obviously like every rational human being I DID backup my game files, but my hdd on which I had the said backup broke. I bought a new one and now when I tried to install Mass Effect 1 from Origin I ran into a problem: When I launch the game it says that some textures are missing and that a bunch of other files are missing. I downloaded the game using the same account onto my laptop and everything worked fine, I was able to use the same save file even (the one that I used mods with). So apparently it's a problem with my PC itself... Please help, I just want to install the vanilla version of the game on my pc!

Hey, I fixed it. I moved all the mass effect files from documents onto my desktop. Thanks, I probably wouldn't think of it if it weren't for your original reply.

  • Turn the Cloud-save function in Origin off.
  • Make sure that Origin is completely closed.
  • Go to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3" = "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3" folder and move the "BIOGame" folder to your desktop. > Test.

Nope, nothing changed. Do the install paths have anything to do with it?

The installation path should not make any difference, but I saw it happen before.

 

But for now try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME > Repair)

Still not working. Should I try to delete my cloud data maybe?
