Ok, try this:

Go here and download the "awc.dll" and the "EACore.dll"

Close Origin. (right click at the Task Bar icon > Exit)

Navigate to ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\Core" and rename the "awc.dll" and the "EACore.dll" to "old_awc.dll" and "Old_EACore.dll"

Move the new "awc.dll" and "EACore.dll" files from the place you saved them into the directory listed above.

Start Origin > Test the Game.

Yes, I know, the posts above is my answer to your first post.
Please try what I suggested.

in response to this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-3/Can-t-get-ME-3-to-run/m-p/6590710/highlight/true#M25281

Yes, you should copy and paste the DLLs to the location I mentioned above.

@engel5

I might suggest you start a thread detailing exactly what your issue is, post a DxDiag file as well just in case.  The reason I suggest this is I have seen your posts in several different threads seemingly covering several different issues.  It is hard to figure out which exactly is your issue, and what you have or have not done to get the game to work.  So a central post with the needed information to help you would be a great idea.

I merged the post of the other thread into this one which obtains your most detailed error report.

I would suggest that you follow @mcsupersport recommendation and also to tell us exactly what you already tried to solve this issue.

Anything else would be a guessing game and therefore a waste of time for us all.

You are suggesting I download two .DLL's for an application that runs as a Service with Admin rights on my PC, from an anonymous  "onedrive.live.com", from an Anonymous user, who isn't an EA employee.

I'd fire an employee for following those directions without a second thought.

If that's EA's attitude to security, I'm glad I never gave them any account information.

It is your prerogative to do whatever you want, after all its you that can't get ME3 to run, not even with this impressive title you claim to have.

What I know, as a system administrator with over 25 years of experience, is that it should be easy for someone like you to determine if the DLLs on my onedrive account are dangerous or not.

I could find that out in two minutes, without in-dangering my system.

Furthermore, I don't know why you bring EA into this.
This is a player help player forum, if you don't want the help we provide here as private persons who aren't associated with EA in any way, (and who brought a lot of other players back into their games without attacking their systems. ) I would suggest to try your luck elsewhere.
