Ok so 4 hours ago i buy MassEffect under the impression im gonna play it soon i install it and try to run it and gives me the "Mass Effect stopped working from an unexpected error" nonsense and i reinstalled the game 3 times and still the same thing my PC Specs fit the Requirements:
Mobo:XFX G31i
GPU:Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT @ 1.333ghz cache and 1gb VRAM 256 bit
CPU:2.5ghz Core 2 Quad
RAM:4gb
OS:Windows XP Service Pack 3

can someone please help me ASAP i really want to play this game as i have seen many reviews on it
are there any known errors that conflict with my specs or patches that fix this?

Thank You in advance

Are you talking about ME1 or ME2 here?

what are you talking about? mass effect was reased like 3 years ago.

OP: your specs look fine to run the game, did you buy retail or steam?

have you tried doing google serches on the problem? if that does not give you a solution, you might need to contact EA support, or steam support if you puchased it there

Did you get the latest patch? I know this error occurs on Win7 if you haven't updated it. It shouldn't on XP, but its Windows, so it doesn't care whether it should work or not ~~

I said MassEffect meaning MassEffect 1 and im running WinXP and its a retail copy(Original)
many google results come up but only for Vista compatibility issues.

well you can't really say mass effect anymore.

Mass effect means the triology.



While ME1/ME2 etc. means that part of the triology :) or everyone will just end up confused :)



not that i know much about ME1 on pc since im an xbox player, but have you patched and all of that crap?

*Edit/Snip* There is a forum in the Mass Effect category dedicated strictly to PC technical issues.  DarthShizz was even kind enough to link it.  I would even wager if the OP scrolled a few pages through that he'd find the answer -- assuming he patched his game first.

Edit:  Cleared up the issue, snipped what wasn't relevant.

As far as i know, it's not necessary to load the first before the latest patch. Whatever, i hope you get it to work properly.
