"I hit PLAY and nothing happens." (Windows XP)



FIX (for me):



1. Install Directx 10 for Windows XP

here: http://www.techmixer...for-windows-xp/



2. Run Windows Automatic Updates manually and make sure you have WIndows .NET 3.5 Framework.



I'm pretty sure just Directx10 fixed it but I did both of the above and clicking "Play" worked when I had Disc1 inserted in my drive.

awww man your a life saver the net frame work was what was missing this should be pinned my game works now

Nice fix there sccrmania1. I think you might not need to install DirectX10 because there's a setting in the Coalesced.ini file, AllowD3D10, that's set to false by default.

I was having the same problem (black screen saying unreal 3 engine, then error "mass effect 2 stopped working...") but I was able to fix my problem completely. I am on windows vista 64, here is what I did to get my game running perfectly. Go onto ME disc 2, then go into the data folder, and copy the file english.rar

Then go into the install directory on you hard drive and paste the file right there in the root directory (the same directory with masseffect2launcher.exe). Now since I am in vista it would not let me extract the file till I changed the security setting for the folder itself to give myself permissions to write to the directories. So you want to right click the background of the folder (anywhere in the white window, not touching a file or folder) and choose properties (or customize folder). Then goto security, click edit, select your profile, and check the box that says full control. Then exit and extract the english.rar file right where it is. Unpack it directly where it is dont move it because the files are set to go into the correct folders from the root. Thats it. After doing this the game worked for me perfectly. Hope this helps all you guys having problems on Vista.

How can you check if you need to do that? Becouse I've been able to run my game before, but now suddenly I cant, so im not so sure if it's becouse im missing files.

EDIT: Sccrmania: Unfortunatly I got windows 7 so I cant do that :-/

I tried to run the game but couldn't do it. I would try reinstalling except that the computer isn't ;oading the disk. It runs DA: O fine, so I'm going to try rebooting the machine and trying again. If it doesn't work than I don't know what to do, wait for the first patch?

mr_luga,



Do you have the Net Framework already installed on your Windows 7 machine?



If not, try downloading the Windows 7 version to see if that fixes it: http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en

What harm can happend by installing it? I dont know what it does.. I dont like installing stuff I dont know what is.. Also, is there a place where I can check if I have it or not on windows 7? Im not sure if win 7 even needs it.

EDIT: Checking that link, Win 7 isnt even supported by it :-/

Yeah same here. I've had the game for 4 days now and not even got past the launcher... I've tried everything now so I guess I just have to wait and hope they do a patch to fix it. Otherwise I'm screwed...
