hi there

for a long while i played mass effect 2 on a 19"  lcd monitor at 1024 x 768 resolution (4:3)

but i changed my monitor from a 19" to a 22" widescreen 1680 x 1050 (16:10)

the problem i face is when i load mass effect 2 and im at the main screen where it says " press any key to continue "

when i press any key after a couple of seconds my game crashes and i have to close the game. ive tried playing in a bunch of different resolutions and all still the same problem

any ideas how i can go about this?

the game is patched to 1.02 and my graphics driver is fully up to date

Motherboard Name      Asus Striker Extreme
CPU Type                     QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600,( 2.4ghz)
Ram                              Corsair XMS2 CM2X2048-6400C5DHX (4gb)
Video                             Twin Nvidia 8800 GTS 512MB SLI
Audio                             Speakers (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio)
Monitor                          LG Flatron M228WA
OS                                  Windows Vista 32BIT
DirectX                           DirectX 10.0  (Mar2009) or later


any advice is much appreciated.

Sam

Have you tried Mass Effect 2 Configuration Utility before you started ME2?

Try this:

1)Change aspect ratio and resolution in Mass Effect 2 configuration utility and save settings.

2) Run ME again.

[SamzOr2009]

hi there Tetragnatha_Sp



ive tried running ME2 on 3 different aspect ratio's ( 4:3 , 16:9 , 16:10 )



i have used the ME2 configurator and ive tried a combination of different resolutions from 1024x768 up to 1680x1050



i still get an error when i click " press any key to continue "



still having same problem. any ideas what else it may be?

The Geforce 8n00 generation all had firmware defects when new, it was correctable in software, but has meant that current games and MANY current video drivers, especially the PhysX portions, have been incompaitible with the matchup between those cards, and the pair of Mass Effect games, plus Dragon Age, seem particularly problematic. 

You will probably be able to sort out your situation through "rolling back" to older video drivers.  You may have to go back to the 196.21, or still further.  I can't tell you how old my drivers (which do work, but I have a 8800 GT, not a GTS, and the reason I don't know is the Geforce-equipped pair of PCs are in my "family room", which costs so much to keep cool (west side of the old house), that I don't try to air condition it from May through September, unless I have more than a couple of people over to visit, and need the larger room) actually are. 

I got the 8800 GT new, but as overstocked, about a year ago, very inexpensively.  Whatever CD came with it is most likely what I still have as the driver.

thank you for your response Gorath Alpha



i tried rolling back my nvidia driver from from the latest ( 258.96 ) back to my original (197.45) and i am still suffering from a crash every time i click " press any key to continue "



any other possible options for me to try?

[SamzOr2009]

hi guys



sorry to bring up my original topic again but i have been browsing the forum and i cant find any other topic related to my problem



would anyone have any idea how i can go about solving this crash?



i have tried using different resolutions and reverted back to my original graphics card driver



the only thing thats seems to point to be causing a problem is changing from 19" monitor to a 22" monitor



could it be me2 is not compatible with my monitor :S?

I have the same problem, but mine is related to saves and honestly try removing your saves from your folder destination and check if it runs, I fear that after the Shadow broker DLC alot of people have this problem

[SamzOr2009]

ill give the save removal a go but i havent even bothered getting shadow broker dlc as this problem has been happenening for 2 months :'(

[SamzOr2009]

oh my god it actually worked!...... ty spychi



the only problem i have now is to either get my save games working again or start from scratch :'(

no way to make that happen, at least I  tried for 3 days, I made a thread about it, no response so far
I am replaying the game

just saying I have the same problem. is there any fix bioware? I really don't want to start from scratch again...

[Gorath Alpha]

Who are you addressing? No one working for Bioware has been in here in at least a week, maybe two, leaving no one here but the game players. When you want to get advice from the rest of us, you give us the standard diagnostics information, we try to look at that and come up with suggestions. But AFAIK, you haven't done that anywhere on these forums.

(Edit here -- newly added)  I did look, and I don't see any prior summary of your system:

(See Chris' sticky thread about reporting problems)

okay so I have done some tweaking around and figured out a fix. It's a bit crude but it should work.



1. Copy your entire save folder and move them elsewhere

2. Start a new game until you can manually save (right after you wake up)

3. Copy 1 save file, not the folder but the file from one of your your copied saves that you moved elsewhere (get the most recent one I guess)

4. Delete only the manual save in your new save folder and replace it with the copied one

5. Edit only the name and class of the new folder with the name of the copied folder

6. Open ME2 and load up the manual save you just copied in



Now there are probably other ways around but I found that worked for me. Not sure down the road if it'll crash again but I exited twice and went back in just fine.

[kdbohlool]

had the same problem, solve it with ur way "ilikeicehockey" thx a lot

[StarFire71]

I also had the crash happen after the "Press Any Key Screen", and deleting my save file fixed it. I was only a few hours in on this playthrough, so I'm just gonna restart, but thanks for the help everybody!
