mass effect Andromeda wont open after new patch

[aeroporos99]

Ok people. By gathering all of your tweaks and opinions i think i find  a solution. I make it worked without problems (until now at least). Fisrt of all, depending youw windows version go to the microsoft website and download the standalone updater. Most of the people will notice that standalone updater do nothing (stuck). SO, you have to follow this solution to make it work and download all the updates:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FsfVBY7fz8

After installer finish, restart your PC and try to launch the game normaly, from Origion client. Wait a little longer than usual and..........after 5 days...Huston we have a launch.....Hope to help.

Try it

Wow! Just noticed that EA can actually resolve some matters quite quickly. My last post was actually removed just now. Apparantly I am not allowed to state that EA won't give me a refund for a game they broke themselves. Apart from that I just commented in, admittedly, a somewhat cynical fashion about the way I predict/assume their businessmodel takes advantage of us the gamers in favor of making a quick buck and then moving on to greener pastures. No personal insults were made nor did I use, in my humble opinion, any foul language that warrants a ban of my post. It is however exemplary in regard to the topic discussed here that EA can 'fix' a comment they dont like within the hour but are still unable to fix the issues with the game not launching after days and days. It just shows once again that publicity is more important to EA than programming. Once again I must ask; What is wrong in this picture?

If anyone happens to have a page open that still contains my removed post. Please make a screenshot and put it back up. Please don't let EA silence the forum!!!

I read the post in question, and I certainly found it borderline, and was going to get around to get a 2nd opinion, whilst I myself didnt remove the post, I am not surprised it was

I outright refuse to download anything to "fix my directx or visual c+ or whatever" when EVERY other game i have on my computer works, and up until last patch, mass effect assdromeda worked perfectly, no lag no crashes, then the UPDATE comes, and the game refuses to work, its NOT my computer, nor my windows thats the problem, its the game, this is the LAST bioware game i buy if they dont fix it....

[Darkybot]

You are not alone, EA just erased my post that it was just question about problem escalations to an specialist and if they cant fix the problem how can I get a refund... apparently EA want to erase all tracks about this huge patch mess cause they cant figure what the problem is. I feel like they stole money from me... never thought that EA will act like this, sad.

Still sitting here not able to play the game even though a few guys have managed to get it working...so glad EA/Bioware have had a world class input on the forums as usual and i sit here hoping a fix will fall out the sky

Can you press the windows key and type reliability (edit - open "view reliability history") can you advise of any crash reports that correspond with the startup issue ?

Whilst the dxdiag shows crashes in origin (more then 1 in directx) other then that diablo3 crashes I cant tell how recent they are

Edit - Also you are best to disable crossfire at present whilst troubleshooting this issue.

If I disappear I have had to get going as I cant stay for much longer tonight its near 11pm here and have to get up at 5:30 am
