@Jpmalm

 

Sorry for the late answer, was on vacation the last week.

 

Try this:

Go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries" folder.

Rename the "MassEffect2.exe" to "MassEffect2Launcher.exe"

Rename the "ME2Game.exe" to "MassEffect2.exe" > test.

Hey there, my mass effect 2 game also does not get passed the "click any button to start" screen. I have done what you have asked, please let me know how to get my game to work. I have tried reinstalling, cloud saves off and repair and none of it works. Thank you.

  • Go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\vc\vc2005\redist\" folder.
  • Run the "vcredist_x86.exe" as Administrator. (Right click the exe > run as an Administrator)
    If you don't have an "Install" option, "Repair" the installation.
  • Reboot.
  • Test.

Just for anyone in the future having a similar issue. I had a problem launching the game after applying a few mods. I disabled mods one by one then eventually reinstalled the game and was considering doing a fresh windows install. As a last resort, I realised I edited some nVidia setting via nVidia Inspector. Reverting these changed back to default and then applying one by one resolved my issue and I am fairly sure all it was was a mistype for one of the codes as it is completely fine now. 

 

The exact scenario I had in case you are troubleshooting. Once I launched the game I would get the Bioware intro and the first loading screen then once the menu kicked in I got Black Screen and heard music skipping through a sequence like very poor buffering. The game would crash about 10s Later. 

 

Hope this helps someone.
