Yesterday I bought both Mass Effect 1 & 2 on Origin, after receiving the serials via mail I went to Origin and let them download. However, after both downloads were complete I click on the "install" button and nothing happens.
It briefly loads, then proceeds as if no actions have been taken and the "install" buttons remains.
So I thought, well this is a case of corrupt files most likely lets re-download. I did this 3 times now, each time the same happens on BOTH ME 1 & ME 2.
I was able to install ME 3 perfectly but I got a hard CE copy from the store instead of the digital version I got on Origin.
So after reading through the forum I checked up on some things and allowed both Origin and Origin's Client Service to be allowed through my firewall, still doesn't help one bit.
I also downloaded the games while doing the following (since some guy said it helped him get it to work):
-Downloading it all in 1 go, no pauses or anything.
-Turned off my screen saver or electricity saving black screen, whatever u want to call it, so the DL would never be stopped.
-Turned off both my anti virus and windows firewall through both the downloads.
All this to no avail, nothing helps. If i go to my Origin folder where the games are actually placed I can however click on the ME Launchers and it does pop up, however there is no "install" button - only a "play" button.
When I click the play button, it doesn't work however - it says I am missing some kind of dll (I'll re-check which one later, currently both ME's are undownloaded again).
I also tried activating the Origin Client Service first, then start Origin and then try to install the games yet that does not help either.
So I am at a complete loss here, if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated since I paid for these games yet can't get them running, been trying to get it to work for hours already...sigh.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I haven't tried a FULL Origin reinstall yet since I don't really feel like reinstalling all the games on it (ME3, BF3, Dead Space 1 & 2) AND re-downloading them for something which will probably not work anyway.
Not to mention I have a monthly download limit of around 110 gig (yes my country/provider works like that, fantastic isnt it).
