I'm just bought and installed ME2, and am unable to play. Whenever i start the game the screen goes black as if to load, but then i get the standard APPCRASH "Mass Effect 2 has stopped working".

My specs:

Windows 7 64 bit.
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.93GHZ
4Gig of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT

I have so far tried:

Updating the nividia driver directly from their webite.

Checking that the config has picked up the cores correctly as suggested here: http://social.biowar...6/index/1125322 by Aidunno and then changing it to two using msconfig, boot options.

Running the game as Admin.

Installing the game directly from setup.exe as admin, as suggested here: http://social.biowar...6/index/1110036 by dex1701

Opening the app directly and not via the launcher.

Running it in every windows vista SP compatability mode.

And in between everyone one of these things i have uninstalled and re-installed the game.


Is there any other information i can provide?

I'm getting very frustrated here, any suggestions? I've spent 5 hours on this so far, so i'm pretty much willing to try anything.

This forum has been very slow since the end of May.  It will pick up again later.  I'm no expert when it comes to nVIDIA drivers, although I also have a Geforce 9800 - mine is a GT, and was NIB, but surplussed as an overstock, and I got it for very little,  so far the PC that I put it in hasn't had this game installed on it. 

I greatly prefer Dragon Age over ME, and DA really doesn't get along well at all with Geforce 8600s, 8800s, and (some) 9800s, for whatever reason.  I got the card specifically for Dragon Age, to try to duplicate some of the odd stuff that other gamers have reported. 

However, the latest nVIDIA drivers are not always the best ones.  nVIDIA's software engineers have been in way over their heads for three years now, and in my opinion, are grasping at straws too often.  Many of their drivers are purely bad, so the "newest" isn't always smartest when it comes to games playing.   The forums at nZone may be the best source of an ID on the least problematic Geforce driver for Mass Effect.

Thanks for the response. Without being too much of an expert, it doesn't seem likely to me that the quality of drivers is what is at issue. I could see that causing crashes at different points in the game, but surely an inability to even load the game would have to be caused by completely incompatable drivers, if it were a driver issue.

Run some Searches here on the forums.  It seems to be a three way interaction between nVIDIA drivers, the game, and some assorted onboard audio processors.  It can often be worked past by setting the game up to run in a window, instead of full screen, if my memory can be trusted.  Try running with most of the sound disabled.

I just tried configuring it to run with no sound, and in a window, and the problem persists.
