Mass Effect Failing to Launch, files missing.

[Zinnn33]

Hello, I recently installed the MEUITM remaster in Mass Effect 1, and it completely broke my game, so I went into my files and removed MEUITM from my computer, but my backed up version of Vanilla Mass Effect will not launch. I have verified the game files, still crashes. I have completely removed the game from my computer, still crashes after fresh reinstall. Not even deleting the engine folder in documents fixed the game crashing. Everytime I launch the game, I get this error message when it crashes. It crashes the SECOND it starts up, with this message:

Rendering thread exception:

Is there a way to fix this? I really want to play the game again, but I can't even get it to launch.

Never mind, I found a fix. I just had to remove the BIOengine.ini file from documents, and it worked like a charm. I am not *ever* going to attempt a retexture on this game again on my own lol
