 Just got Mass Effect 1, after two hours of downloading, and when the game booted up all I got was a black screen and a windows error message.  I've spent 5hrs+ trying to find a solution and nothings worked.  My computer is an acer aspire (4 Gb memory, intel i-3 processor, windows 7) and is known to be able to play new games (crysis/mw2/L4D2).  I have updated it to 1.2 and the same problem remains. 

I've been stuck with a terrible computer for gaming (barely handled Mount and Blade) for the past 5 yrs and Mass Effect was the first game I wanted to play so I would rather not move on unless I had to.(I'm not clueless with computers but I simple problems are still likely so anythings possible)

Also thought I should add



Pc version from Steam

Intel Core I3-350M processor(2.26GHz,3MB L3 cache)



Intel HD Graphics up to 1755 MB DVMT



4 GB DDR3 memory , 320 GB HDD, Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/n (?)

Intel HD Graphics up to 1755 MB DVMT <-- There's your problem. Mass Effect 1&2 do not support and do not run on Intel videochips. With the slight exception of the very latest videochip from Intel and that one runs the game with severe graphical errors rendering it unplayable.



Without a real videocard you won't be able to play the game.

that sucks



Steam is not known 4 refunds



thanks 4 the answer it probably saved me hours (should have just asked first)



worst thing is that I thought that it could be a problem before I bought the game but because the reviewer of the laptop said that it could play L4D2 and Mass Effect 2 I went ahead and bought it...

I loled.
Mass effect don't support that graphic "card" from what i know.

Edit: Make your own research before you blindly buy stuff cause of one mans words. Like google: <computer name> review. <-- Easy way to find out if your pc handles games etc.

Whoever that reviewer was, that part about Mass Effect 2 was a big fat lie.

[Kingmitch]

Ya I'm kinda pissed cause I typed in google "Mass effect on Acer Aspire" (or something like that) and I got that result



I was more concerned about it running on windows 7 so double checked that

[Kingmitch]

so my only hope is to have it on a different computer would a computer that is able 2 handle The Witcher and STALKER:Shadow of Chernobyl be able 2 play Mass Effect?

[Mightyg]

Yes. I can't say how well though without more details.

[Kingmitch]

details on this computer would be embarrassing so I'll try but not get my hopes up (4 that computer luckily my brother has a laptop and a switch till I'm finished might be in order)

Well, the most important part is that about the videocard. In theory with mentioning CPU, RAM and videocard we will be able to tell you if you can run the game.
