mass effect lag/low fps

★★★ Newbie

i'm running a very good machine. i5 3770 nvidia 670 and 16 gb of ram. I recently bought the mass effect triliogy to replay the greatness i loved on xbox 360. but when i try to play the first game the highest frames i have achieved is around 25. the constant is 15. and it doesn't matter wheter or not i'm on ultra high textures and particles or if i'm on ultra low. i even turned down my resolution to the lowest it would go to try that. still my fps stayed around 15. i tried repairing the game in origin. nothing. please help.

If you run the game in Origin, try disabling the Origin in-game overlay in the Origin settings.

 

What video driver version do you have?

I've got the same issue. I'm going to try tricks with CPU affinity, because ME 1 was made for those next-gen Dual-Core CPUs. I will report here if any successful tries will make the game run smooth.

 

Also, my specs

 

FX8350,Radeon R290X, 8Gb RAM. Latest AMD GPU drivers.

 

Spoiler
I've got many issues with DA:I. So I thought that I could spend some time in ME trilogy. Traps, traps everywhere, lol.

Solution is here. Thanks to SimCity community.

 

Put these arguments in shortcut "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect\Binaries\MassEffect.exe" -CPUCount:1 -CPUPriority:high or in Origin console.
