 When I attempt to start the game the release date checker comes up, jumps to 80%, then immediately crashes. After that it seems to completely corrupt the ME3 .exe file, and it will give me "Mass Effect 3 has stopped working" everytime I try to run it. If I reinstall, do an install fix, or repair the .exe then the release checker runs again and re-corrupts it. I've been on EA Chat alld ay trying to resolve this and the best they've given me is "We've moved your problem to the highest level you'llr eceive an email within 24 to 48 hours"

Thanks for giving me a game I can't play Bioware. Even if I crack it (Which certainly nobody here would do anyway) I wouldn't be able to play multiplayer or use my DLC. Please tell me someone has a fix?

I have been looking for a fix the past few days. Don't get your hopes up.

I think a potential fix would be to run the Release Date Checker on a pc that will run it, then copy the exe to a thumb drive and move it back over to the computer that's having issue. But unfortunately, none of my friends have the PC edition for me to try this.

I'm getting the same problem. BEX error involving the awc.dll file. Pretty much the same error message u got and at the same time. If anyone gets it working let me know.

I'm to the point where I'm thinking of re installing windows, but that's just ridiculous.

Ive done crazier things just to run a video game. 60 Dollar game, 3000 dollar computer, defeating the reapers.... Priceless!

Ive seen another guy getting a similar error, but relating EAcore.dll. He has tried copying files from a working install but it didnt help.

exact same problem and EA/Bioware has not even responded to me, so lucky you you've got that far. I don't think they even care about the issue even though it's affected thousands it seems.

Even here on this forum, half the threads are about this issue and there are ZERO Bioware responses to them, they are just picking topics in between the threads just to avoid having to deal with this issue.

I'm having the same exact problem. From what I've seen, BioWare and EA has been no help at all. I don't see why they can't respond to atleast one thread like this saying "Yes we know there's a problem."

i wonder if it'll work..... because i was told to DOWNLOAD all 10 gigs of the game even though i preordered the collectors edition that came with all the goodies in RL. i really am gonna be po'ed if this online download doesn't work out..... it takes 10 minutes to install the game per disc but 8 to 9 hours to DOWNLOAD the game, so I'm hoping I don't get screwed ......again.
also, good link idea, know anything about the validation process to be fixed? incase I end up like i was before (screwed)

I tried that with a "repair install" and it got me to an activation screen instead of the 'release date check'.  Encouraging, but when it asked for my serial number it would not accept my product key.  Any suggestions?

Yup, having the same problem but with EACore.dll instead. The first couple of crashes said awc.dll, and now its EACore.dll for some reason.

Tried taking the entire copy of ME3 from a computer that it worked fine on and put it on mine via an external hard drive, and it still won't work. Something has to be blocking the files from launching or something.

Something is blocking a dependency from running or being installed, and I don't know what it is.

Don't bother, it's not promising. I tried this fix, I entered the serial key it gives you (it's at the top of the same window) and it accepted the activation. Unfortunately, the game still crashes afterwards and gives you the same DEX error.

Origin sucks and needs to die in a fire.

Anyone tried replacing the ME3 exe with the demo's to see if that works?

Alright, I've managed to somehow get the game to run (now it just wont import my facecode, but w/e)

What I had to do was as follows:

1) Uninstall ME3, delete the ME3 directories in Program Files (x86) and My Documents.

2) Uninstall origin

3) Reboot

4) Install Origin and update

5) Download and install ME3, with the install happening while EvE Online was running

6) Initiate a repair install and reboot my machine right as the repair install starts via the case button (not the start menu shutdown)

7) Complete the repair install after the reboot.

I posted this issue here:

http://forum.ea.com/...st/8247198.page

If you are having issues, bombard them on this thread so they know that it is a really bad issue. EA seems to be responding to every thread over there.

What gets me there.. Is he edited his post. I saw his original post. It originally said "We are aware of the issue and it is being looked into." He bloody changed it to a generic response that doesn't help at all.

Yep, I caught him doing it too with the quote brackets (that don't even work... much like origin).  I responded again.
