ME3, ME2 and DA2 not working [ Edited ]

[EgoMania]

@Asuma30I also have this exact issue with ME3, ME2 and DA2. Can't play any of them.

Same thing, I start them up, the screen goes black or white initially as to start up the game and then cuts out and we're back at the desktop.

Edit: ME1 and Andromeda do work. DA:O and DA:I also work.

I actually found the problem that I had. I remembered that a little while ago I had a 4K screen but didn't like how it worked so I've got a 1440p screen now with 144Hz refresh. Anyways, these 3 games were still set at the 4k resolution and since you can't change resolution until you're in game, it wouldn't work. So I had to go to the config files of the individual games and change the resolution there and presto... the games work again. So this one is resolved.

I moved your post to a separate thread because this is probably a different issue. 

Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply.

If you use Windows 7 also go to your Reliability monitor > Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time and copy and paste or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in the new Window > hit “ENTER” and look if it has entries for the game you have trouble with.

If yes double click at the last entry for the game executable, copy the info to the clipboard, and save it to a text file.

 

You can attach the DxDiag text file you created (and the “Reliability monitor” text file as well) to your post in the “Reply” window with the “Choose File” button.

Thanks, here's my dxdiag.
