I believe Mike has stated that it is a single-core issue, and this is why:

With multiple-core processors, developers are able to divide the game's workload onto different cores. This is simply in theory, but most likely; that is exactly what they have done here. While the load screen plays, the game was programmed to load textures, information, whatever; on another core. That is why is it freezing up, (this would explain CPU spiking in the Task Manager). As far as the problems people are having who have multiple-core processors, it is probably a bug within the configuration tool, or something simple that they didn't see on their internal testing systems.

If I am correct, and this is the case, then it would literally be hell to modify the game in the form of a patch to fix the problem on single-core systems. While games like Left For Dead 2, or Batman:Arkham Asylum (I.E., they aren't utilizing multiple-core processors) may run fine on a single-core, the minimum specs for both games include single-cores. Such is not the case for Mass Effect 2.

um, no, L4D2 requires dual core. Also that's obviously not how it works since all we need to do is watch the intro and we get past the loading screen. 

Just update BIOS of mainboard ant that is it.. This was my trouble too... I fight wit it about 3 days... But after update of Bios, I SOLVED IT!!

So the in game movies / cut scenes are causing us to be stuck on loading when trying to start a new game / import one from ME1? Bought the game yesterday and installed just to find out I couldn't play not too happy about that. I haven't tried the work around but I would rather play the game with the movies, the story is one of my favorite parts of the games. I hope a fix for this issue is being worked on. Played Dragon Age just fine not sure why ME2 is giving me problems.

Just UPLOAD BIOS... like me... AND after that i will work... :innocent:

I already did and that still hasent fixed my problem, ive updated everything and tried everything from this thread and i still get the same APPCRASH error

For those of you suggesting that we multicore processor users update our BIOSes, would you please explain what you mean? As far as I understand, I am using the most up-to-date version of my BIOS. I have also explored in there and not found any particular option that would indicate that I can toggle between single core or multicore processing. As far as I can tell, my PC is using all four cores.



Also, is there a quick and dirty way to know for sure whether my PC is utilizing all four cores or not?

GUYS from BIOWARE, THX FOR THE BEST GAME EVER I PLAY!!!!! GREAT WORK!!!! I LOVE MASS EFFECT STORY AND I WILL BE WAIT FOR MASS EFFECT 3... Only one competitor at this year is MAFIA 2.. Great work.... KEEP IT GO!!! I AM YOURS THE BIGGEST FUN!!!

That's only for multicore! And it doesn't even work for most of the multicore problems either.

vOrt3x22-> maybe because people wants to play to their game with the game complete. Actually we have no idea if the video we could miss using those temporary fix are important or not.

I mean, isthere a lot of video like the one at the beginning showinfg the Normandy getting hit by something?

Well I posted a solution that doesn't involve removing videos - and noone bothered to get back to me - on whether it works.

I'm posting repro steps here:

*Note: I only tested this on WIndows Vista Home Premium* (Dual Core only)

1. Deinstall your current NVIDIA PhsyX drivers from the Add / Remove Programs section.

2. Insert your Mass Effect CD 1 - go to: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\software\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ and install "PhysX_9.09.0814_SystemSoftware.exe"

3. Start Mass Effect 2

4. Alt-Tab back to Windows - hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE and bring up the Task Manager.

5. Select the "Processes" Tab and scroll down to find "MassEffect2.exe"

6. Right-Click on the process and select "Set Affinity"

7. If you have a dual core - you should see "CPU 0" and "CPU 1" selected.

8. De-select "CPU 1" and hit ok. Close the Task Manager.

9. Continue (or restart, to be sure) the game.

- I have had no trouble so far.

It's still crashing though - so Bioware should still look into this.

I tried this but when I right clicked on the game in processes I couldn't find "Set Affinity" only Set Priority. Am i just being a noob?
Plese Help

I'm starting to think we have at least 2 or 3 distinct issues happening in this thread.

So...I've started up a different thread specifically for people who are running into game freezes, and specifically for those people who have multicore processors.

You'll notice that I am specifically targeting an issue with freezes (and not stuttering) that occurs on systems that specifically have multicore processors.

Also, I've read every single last post in this entire thread. Start to finish. Want me to read them all again? 

[Tab16]

I have read through all the Bioware posts in this thread and I have one question. We know the the issue described in this thread is being fixed, but which issue is it? If it's just the "freeze during loading" issue, then that is bad. This issue is easy to overcome. The true prblem is the "game stutters after cinematic" issue, because you can't deal with it without losing all movies in the game and not just the loading screens.

[BobjrDK]

I just want to get through the initial loading screen *cries*

[Asalis]

The title of this thread says freezing at loading screen, where did all these other problems come from? this threads says it's about freezing at the loading screen. They say they have fixed the problem but all I found was a download to a link which has since been removed. I'd hardly call that a fix. There are those of us who never got to download that. It wasn't even an official fix.

I feel ya. That's why I created a new post specifically about freezes and specifically for people whose computers are unquestionably at or above the listed system requirements.

I'm not going to bother with some unofficial patch. The point is not to cram a square peg into a round hole until you get something *like* what you wanted...the point is to get what we paid for: the entire game, working as intended.

[Thursnextus]

can't load either - dont even get the start screen (sob!)

I have a AMD Athlon 7750 Dual Core (2.70)
and a Geforce 8800

sigh ... oh and running Vista.'Mass Effect 2 has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to this problem' lol

[bluewolf35948]

Thursnextus, I think you're dealing with an entirely separate issue from the majority of the posters in this thread. From what I understand, most of us are able to load up the game, but then are unable to get past selecting a new game, or character creation, depending on whether you didn't or did watch the intro movie, respectively.

[Thursnextus]

Ah! I'll make a new thread then ... it's late n cheers for the heads up



Just wanted to play the game ...

[bluewolf35948]

I feel ya mate, good luck!

The new thread is point less,

First of all by creating new threads you just make it more complicated for the guys trying to fix this. If people just keep making threads about fixes or problems then it will just keep branching out and the people trying to help won't know where to start.
Second, this isn't come to my post its better for more problems to post. Also I just looked at your thread and it already has a full coversation on it, how helpful is that? No one can control this forum so just let people talk and throw out there problems, if there important then they will be mentioned again.

And I also think that the game tester has a pretty good fix, has anyone tried it yet? Since obviously I can't if you look at my latter post.

[Eaglemouse]

Are any single core systems working?

[CSchroder]

My single core system works with the nomoviestartup fix. I miss out on the videos but the game seems to work perfectly otherwise. Still waiting for a patch to enjoy the "full" game.

[Nofrag911]

I paid 62.07$ for this game and I can't do anything but stare at the frozen loading screen right after New game menu.
Can't wait to play  ! I've enjoyed Baldur's Gate 1-2 and DA:O so much !
Still no fix out? It's been 4 days since this thread came up...
