I pre-ordered, downloaded, and installed Mass Effect 2 from the EA on-line store yesterday, and when I went to try playing it today, it passed the release date check, but gave me a warning that the hardware seemed to be unsupported, and that this might cause some issues.  It certainly did.  My game kept freezing up and not responding, prompting me to have to close it.  I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it kept having these issues.  Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

what are you running? hardware... cpu, graphic card, mem, os...

[ToySoldierCPlus]

Hardware: Toshiba Laptop (Satellite A505-S6960)
OS: Vista
Processor etc.: 4 GB SDRAM, 320 GB HDD

No idea on graphics card, but I just got it at the end of last summer, and it runs Dragon Age with no problems.  This is just frustrating.

I'm getting the same. Although my specs should be more than enough to play it.

Windows 7 Home Premimum
AMD Athlon II X2 235e processor
NVIDIA GelForce 6150SE
6GB RAM

In the run bar (the little bar that appears when you click on the start icon) type in "dxdiag." Hit enter, and select "yes" at the popup. This is a system diagnostic tool. On the box it gives you, if you select "display" you can see what type of graphics card you are running.

Why would you say that?  There are no supported onboard video chips.  None.  That one is a particularly bad one, by today's standards, but wasn't much better when it was new quite a few years ago.  There should be a video bus slot waiting for a proper video card upgrade inside that PC, however.

Laptops, other than quite elderly ones, and some of the higher priced Sager models, have no video graphics upgrade route, so be glad you have a desktop PC.

Its given me the same unsupported message and my card is NVIDIA Geforce 7100

[Gorath Alpha]

An equally bad junker with exactly the same heritage. Both are cut-down versions of the Geforce 6200A, which was a second, less capable version of the original Geforce 6200, over five years ago. The 7100 is a $15 cheapie that sits a mile below the game's minimum performance level.

That quote appears incomplete, particularly regarding a final sentence it should have included:

" Intel  and S3 video devices are not officially supported in Mass Effect 2. "

(Emphasis was added to the name "Intel" because so many try to use their awful junk video.)

Even though they say the supporting cards, they say also that they do not guarantee that the game will be supported from a laptop's GPU

[Whereto]

mate, i had to buy a desktop because this stupid laptop gpu. I would by a desktop if you dont want to worry about it running but then you need a good one not to worry for a while. I used to worry every time a got a game till i got my desktop

[Dudezoo121]

I Just got bought the geme and downloaded it today but it tells me that th hardware is unsupported

harware: Gateway laptop
OS: Windows 7
Procesor: intel core i3
4 gb ram, 500 gb hdd, and intel graphics media accelerator hd

help me plz

[Gorath Alpha]

Exactly. Intel is still back in 2003 or so for graphics, as they have always been (years behind, slower than tortoises). You need a real gaming machine, and it's certainly not *THAT* puny little thing you have now.  At the present time, the entire laptop production industry is totally desicated to the twin gods of lightness / thinness, and long battery life, including the Sager Company, although they do still produce a few of the older type computers. 

There's no longer any video upgrade option, barring those higher cost Sager models.  Both AMD and nVIDIA have been offering decent mobile versions of their products for as long as laptops have existed, practically, and they have won less than 1% of the market.  Thus, 99% of all laptops available aren't designed for gaming.  The cost of getting a properly designed laptop with sufficient cooling, and an adequate graphics system, particularly, is 30 to 40% or more above the cost for an equivalent desktop machine, so that in order to match an $800 desktop, the laptop is prbably going to cost a minimum of $1200.

k thx but wut do i do now with the download will it download to any computer that i want?

[Gorath Alpha]

That seems more of a "real support" question than a thing I can answer. I always know what my hardware can do. Maybe you should ask that from EA this time.

[Dudezoo121]

can i just change the graphics card so that i can play mass effect 2?

[Gorath Alpha]

(More site delay problems.  Duped it).
