I have seen a lot of supposed fixes, but I have yet to see ONE that works for me.
Problem: The game won't start. Heck, I don't know if it even fully installs.
Exact Symptoms: I install the game, speeds through installation, but when I press "Play" it just doesn't do anything. My Origin window disappears as if it is about to start but then it pops back up and no game starts up. No error messages, no pop ups, not even a momentary black screen flicker. Nothing.
Strange Occurrences: Dead Space installs fine, plays fine, with and without the damned overlay. But ANY Mass Effect or Sims game does not.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, disabled the in game origin overlay, I have even attempted to uninstall and reinstall Origin itself...Only to have it do nothing different each and every time.
So I must ask: What is wrong with Mass Effect 3? It worked years ago (Emphasis on YEARS) and now it just...Doesn't? Is it incompatible with Windows 8.1? Did they cuck up any form of installation process? The Mass Effect 3 Folder in Origin Games is only 20.9 GB (With all DLC and the Bonus stuff, save for Final Hours of ME3) and if that weren't enough I don't see a new folder for the saves.
Anyone got any form of aid for this? Because as it stands I can't find any help anywhere. Not even EA Customer Support...
