Okay..here goes.  A few days ago my ME3 game started randomly freezing then the screen would go black.  I could still hear the sound then the picture would come back and it would continue to play normally.  Sometimes it will go to desktop and sometimes not.  But it doesnt "crash" as in it keeps playing and the picture will come back up on the screen.  

My vid card drivers are all up to date and I tried running the game and origin as administrator and none of that seemed to make a difference.  

My computer specs are:

Intel Core i7-2600k
16 GB RAM
64 bit OS
Windows 7 home premium
NVidia GTX 550 Ti

I hope you can figure something out because I can't and it's making me sad :crying:

Edit: Also it only happens during ME3.  My other 2 ME games run fine with no issues.


I had what seems to be the same problem in ME2 on my old PC, especially during cinematics (I didn't see the Omega 4 relay jump in my first playthrough, had to watch it on YouTube... totally anti climatic ><)  and a reinstall fixed the problem.
But lots of illnesses share the same symptoms, doesn't mean it should be treated the same way.
So I don't know... wish I could help you :unsure: But a reinstall couldn't hurt in any case... aside from your time, I mean.

well, I decided to dust-off the 10-year old writing skills after reading some *really* good Mskenko stuff over the weekend. 

This is what I came up with over the last 8 hours. There was no story board, it's totally free-written. I cringe when I look over it--it seems very... bland? Or maybe it's just my vision of the last EC moments and it so happens that's what I think *everyone* wants. I'm never satisfied with myself once I commit to do something, and I know if I don't get this out there i'll nit--pick it into something else. I also know I need a thesaurus.. badly, and my imagery needs tons of work, I also know that it's nothing particularly new or exciting so far, but constructive criticism is what I need, and oh do I have plans.. so please give it(criticism) freely! I'm telling myself that I need to make sure I know who these characters acutally are in this kind of medium and that I know how to write them to feel familiar (which is harder than it sounds) . If you were bored to tears after the first paragraph, well, that's OK too, as long as you tell me why.

it is very slightly AU as you'll see, but nothing drastic, yet.

Okay, I'm pretty ashamed to criticize your work since I am a very very bad writer. I feel like a crappy Film school student asking to say something about last Scorsese movie <_<
It's awkward, really. Even more since english is not my mother tongue.

So ! I liked your story a lot ! We all have our idea of what happened in the ending, but not all of us could put it down on words... Well, maybe all of you guys here could, but I know I am currently totally unable to write down my own headcanon. I am still missing too much pieces to make it coherent.
On this point, I really loved your work. It wasn't boring at all.
Actually, it's a little too.... damn, I don't know how to say that in english <_< the rhythm of the story is a little too fast ? I don't know if you get my meaning <_<
The first half is really good, but by the second part, it feels more like a series of actions described, the pace is too fast.
I thought that maybe it was intended, to give the impression that (okay maybe I'm completely making a fool of myself here :o)  what is happening is just madness, and when you find yourself in such situations, your mind just registers basic information. Your brain records everything, but you can't really sort it out.

Okay now I just expect you to reply a "WTF are you trying to say here  :blink:"

So, if you understood my blabbering : if the pace was not intended, slow it down, maybe by using less short sentences with "x did that, y did that". If it was on purpose, then maybe you could develop it, to make it more obvious.

But really, I really loved it. I just hope you won't feel offended by my comments :( The fact that my english is rather awful doesn't help for this kind of review :pinched:


Edit : We're having a Kaidan emergency here !

I'm saving my credits... a little excited, damn them. New shiny! must have new shiny... 

My brother lives in London - if the Reapers have hit his house there'll be hell to pay! Bring out my Indra, Harrier and Reegar! And maybe some day I'll get a Valliant.

Would be nice to meet up with Kaidan's biotic squad :)

edit: btw, @blmlozz, enjoyed your story so far! Watch out for perspective shifts, there was at least one Garrus / Kaidan swap mid-paragraph, but otherwise it's got a nice style to it. Plus it has Javik, and I love that guy. I don't like to be too critical of fanfic because it's the story that matters most, and I love seeing people just put their ideas down, regardless of spelling and grammar :)

Robert Carlyle is AMAZING.

And I had no idea RS was on the show till I was playing around on IMDB one day.  I just thought he was a crappy voice actor because Kaidan and Carth sound the same (so I assumed that was the only voice he could do), found out he's the wimpy psyche dude on Once Upon a Time, and realized I'm just an idiot and RS is actually quite talented.

RS is pretty much my nerd fantasy on OUaT.  I can't explain my fondness for that character any better than that.  :lol: As for Robert Carlyle--well that guy is just a rock star.  I've crushed on him for years--although he's admittedly getting a bit old man-ish now.  Doesn't matter! Dat voice. :D

*snip the awesome GIF of Kaidan pulling the guts out of a Brute with biotics*

Something I think Kaidan is totally capable of but would never allow himself to do.



Ya know...I just read a story on fanfiction.net where he did do that...will have to look at my list of favs and see if I can figure out which one it was.

He's only 7 years older than me  :crying:.  And Raphael Sbarge is only 4 years older than me.  I love them both!  <3

Lol.  I should have said he's looking a bit old man-ish now.  I have absolutely no idea how old he actually is. Just looking increasingly weathered.  Still hot though.  Alright don't judge me people.

So, I've been indulging myself this past weekend with lots and lots of ME fanfiction, and came across some really good ones that I wanted to share with you all.  The first set of links is a series that covers all the games from 1-3, with the 3rd part still in progress as of today.  The second set of links is a series of stories for ME1 and ME2.  They are all Kaidan/FShep themed.  Anyway, I just wanted to share some more awesome fiction with you guys...and I see Manipulations has been updated with a new chapter...:D

Fics by retailavenger85
Escaping the Past
Repairing the Present
Creating the Future (in progress as of 7/10/2012...or 10/7/2012 for the Europeans. ;))

Fics by Lossefalme
Snapshots (ME1)
Approaching Normal (Post ME1, Pre Normandy explosion)
Oligo (Post the events of Approaching Normal, Pre Normandy explosion)
Compromise (ME2, leading up to ME3, in progress as of today, as well)


(Huge thanks to leboram for helping me straighten out the code to make pretty links. My aesthetic sensibilites are now in order. :))

Would be nice to meet up with Kaidan's biotic squad :)


You know, could be just me, but I don't like Goddess map because it feels like empety scenery and dead shell. Not even remaints of feeling that was made while Thessia mission. Something tells me that I will not enjoy running around the beam and\\or around locations where shepard had last goodbyes with some 3 random dudes doing stupit bring\\kill\\hack objectives and shooting things. But they may still surprise us, and there could be no London\\beam map. I'm not against MP, but London...I don't know, feels a bit personal.

I know what you mean, but equally there would be some part of me thinking "get the hell off my planet!" running around on Earth. More personal, yes, but more motivating perhaps.

  I'm just thinking about how much I hate the London map with all its craters and barriers in SP, I can't imagine it would be a good MP map.  Ugh, it'll end up like firebase Condor... which I HATE.

But always excited for new content.  It gets me back into MP for a little bit.  That and the weekend operations.  Then I trail off again.  I still haven't leveled up all the characters I promoted a few weeks ago for Operation Promote Three Characters.  What is it this weekend?  Gold extraction?  Anyone want to carry my pathetic ass over the finish line?  I can hold on through level 10 in FBWGG missions if hide in the corner.

Re: Kaidan's Biotic Squad - Hello SP DLC!  I demand a Kaidan loyalty mission.  It wouldn't be the worst idea for DLC ever, you know.

It slightly strange going into it, partially because I know doing so will be the nail in Miranda's coffin. : /


Why not just do a Genesis ME2 run through? That game is so fast. Miranda's death is so lame. 


Because I know I'll want to get EVERYTHING and do EVERYTHING because I'm slightly OCD about that (Only reason I never did this with ME was because I borrowed it from a friend) and, after playing through ME2 so many times, I find it sort of boring. Need to wait a few months before attempting again.

I was in London just a couple of days ago. But it wasn't the first time, I've been there a couple of times before. Great city, I might be moving there in the future for work. Very preliminary plans, though, so it's not certain they'll happen.
It wasn't quite the same now that I've seen it invaded by Reapers, though :P I have to admit that I did try to picture the Reapers over the Thames and the sniper in Big Ben. If there had been any way to determine where in London Kaidan and Shep said goodbye, I probably would have tried to find it. I am that nerdy.

offended? Not at all. Infact, I almost want negative feedback. If I don't know what's wrong, I'll just keep writing mediocre crap. 

The whole thing is kind of rushed, but that's more so because it's not directly apart of the plot I had in mind. This was just supposed to jog your memory that- hey- This is a Mshenko Fic that's going to make you slightly sad at first, Deal with it.  Also because there are a few key plot points I needed to establish to make the rest of the story work , but mostly to just to make you tear up a bit. I figured 5600 words for a long dream sequence was a enough so i'm guilty of rushing it a bit I agree, I'll microscope it to see if I can improve though, thanks. 

[color="#aaaaaa"]edit: btw, @blmlozz, enjoyed your story so far! Watch out for perspective shifts, there was at least one Garrus / Kaidan swap mid-paragraph, but otherwise it's got a nice style to it. Plus it has Javik, and I love that guy.

The grammar will be fixed. I should have known that I needed to at least do that before posting it up. It throws me right out of the mood when I see stuff like that. Glad the important stuff is done right though, thanks.
