[PC] – Mass Effect 2 subtitles appearing off screen

[UrsaNoire]

Hi. First time playing ME2 on the PC. The subtitles are appearing at the top of the screen and the first line is cut off, can't read it. I saw someone else posted about this same issue a couple years ago and that they were able to fix it by installing some C++ software, but they didn't mention what the software was called. Any ideas on what the software is or other solutions? I have Windows 7 with 2048x1152 resolution.

• Run the "vcredist_x86.exe" as an administrator (Right click the "vcredist_x86.exe" > Run as an Administrator)
• Reboot
• Test
