I've just started playing Mass Effect 2 for the first time and came across the first bypass system in the introduction sequence.  Matching the symbols mentally is no problem (sorry if that sounds strange!), but when I try to actually click a symbol to match it to its pair, by the time I move my mouse across to its pair the yellow around the symbol I originally clicked has gone and the game has reset: is there any way of fixing this?  It would seem that my mouse/graphics quality isn't high enough to play this area of the game as it stands at the moment...

Sorry, I know this has probably been asked many times!

Sorry, my spec (if it helps) is

Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz

Clock Speed: 2788 MHz

NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS

VRAM: 256 MB

Which I know isn't that great, but it's run more recent games than mass effect 2 with no problems (excepting low quality graphics!)

Mass Effect 2 uses GPU feedback that requires a far more strict compliance with the minimum graphics requirement, and AFAIK, even officially names the onboard chipset you are trying to use as being inadequate (check your Readme file). The minimum is an old card, but it was fairly fast in its day, and the feedback mechanism used works fine with that one, while failing with your chip.

Video Card = 256 MB (with Pixel Shader 3.0 support). Supported GPU Chips: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater(**); ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater.

(**)Two of the Geforce 6800s are worse than the next-lower Geforce game card, the 6600 GT, and should be avoided (6800 SE, 6800 XT).

Ah thank you. Should have read the spec better. What a waste and a shame!

[Gorath Alpha]

The average laptop quality has fallen a great deal since the current popularity boom in that type of PC, so anyone wanting both portability and game capability must be much more strict with their choices now (desktops also are somewhat degraded, on average, from prior years' standards). Intel is the primary vector for these major slips in quality.

It's a silly all in one desktop/screen computer (sorry for the lack of technical terminology there!) that I was bought a couple of years back. As i'm aware you can;'t upgrade them so i'm a bit stuck. Better start saving for a new one! No games for me for the next two years, haha!

If you've got any tips on a good quality/value gaming computer i'm all ears/ Not to worry if not -- I realise this isn't the forum for such discussions! Anyhow, cheers again for your help.

For the most part, over most of the past thirty years (since the IBM-PC and the MS-DOS operating system on it revolutionized the desktop computer world), I've been my own system builder. I seldom buy anyone else's ready to use PCs, and have owned the same (Dell) laptop for ten years that I've mostly just used when I traveled, and never played games on.

I now have an Android SmartPhone, and an Android Tablet system coming via UPS today, either one or both of which can supplant the laptop for keeping up on eMail and some other 'net information while out of town. It's totally touch-screen activated, and so far, is an interesting challenge to learn.

[Sazzle]

Ah, I was dreading you were going to say about building your own! ;-) I'm not expert on that. This is something I'm going to have to come to terms with I think - time to start learning (and saving!).

Cheers again!

If you've got a decent sized TV go buy yourself a 360 or PS3 and play games that way. Could well be cheaper than saving for a decent gaming PC or laptop?

[Sazzle]

Yeah, i've got a 360, so I might play on that :-). Prefer RPGs on PC though ;-)

You know, am actually potentially being a ****** here... I have a macbook pro from 2010 which I think could maybe run it if I sorted out bootcamp/windows... Has anyone run it on a macbook?

[Bogsnot1]

There are a few people who have done so. Just double check the system specs of you macbook so they meet min requirements, then its just a matter of bootcamping the drive, setting up windows, and installing the game.

[Sazzle]

Ace. Fingers crossed :-). Thank you all for your help! Great forum!
