Hi guys

The issue I have with ME2 is when Miranda is telling Shepard to grab his armour and pistol from the locker at the start of the game.  I take Shepard to the locker and I hit space to equip them and nothing is happening.  The interface for the locker doesn't change to blue when I bring Shepard to the front of the locker, it's still orange in color.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game three times and I still get the same problem.  Let me know what you guys think.

So far, with only the most rare of other circustances, that symtom is strictkly attributed to trying to ignore the video component of the requirements. 

Video Card = 256 MB (with Pixel Shader 3.0 support). Supported GPU Chips: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater; ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater. Please note that NVIDIA GeForce 7100, 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 9200, and 9300; ATI Radeon X1300, HD 2400, 3100, 3200, HD 3450, HD 3470, HD 4200, and HD 4350 are below minimum system requirements. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required. Intel  and S3 video devices are not officially supported in Mass Effect 2.

I just want to address some of the complaints also. Its not that we don't care about this bug. We just don't know what's wrong yet.

My guess is that your framerate is too low, or there is something wrong with your graphics driver. I can't get into specifics, but the game relies on the graphics card to determine if something was "visible recently". If your frame rate is low enough, then the game will never think something is "visible recently".

Please let me know anything relevant about your graphics card or graphics settings, including the framerate. if possible. If the game is under 10 FPS, it may cause problems.

Ok so I think for some of you the problem is the low framerate. For now, the best solution is for you to get a faster framerate. You can get this by reducing your resolution. We made a technical decision that the game would rely on the framerate being at least a certain level.

I apologize because I know you're great fans, and you want to see the game in full glory even though your machine isn't the fastest. But at the same time, we had to have technical limitations somewhere.


Get yourself an upgrade to a game-capable video card, or a game-capable laptop machine, and you will be fine.

My graphics is NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. I know this is a very low graphics card but I do have the latest driver update for this.

Drivers cannot CHANGE the basic nature of any near-crap device.  In fact, even though Intel's video chips have been the butts of a million jokes ever since Intel first began making the stupid things, they actually make a couple of models of those now that are not as purely awful as nVIDIA's 6150 chip is.

Very basic discussion of video cards, video chips, and even of laptops' limits:

The laptop Geforce 6200 was twice the device that the 6150 was, and it compares terribly poorly with the practical minimum for the game:

Since you skipped over the pinned messages intended to help you, and thus ignored the proper way to report a PC game problem, no one here knows whether you have a disposable PC that must be replaced entirely every couple of years, or a proper (potentially game-capable) real desktop machine that is amenable to upgrades. 

I don't have to wonder whether you have an AGP video bus, because I know that the nForce NF4 series chipset was strictly PCIe-based, and I have yet to see any super-cheap mainboard that leaves the video slot off the way that AGP ended up being omitted so frequently in the bad old days when that was the dominant video bus (done back then because of the complicated and thus expensive nature of AGP). 

Here is a standard, Mainline level, game-playing video card for a desktop PC:
