It could be great if they release a patch for the dual core also, cause I experience heavy stuttering on my E8400. It's unplayable.

[Ahmad Shkifi]

I have went through most of this thread.... I have bought the game and installed it. The game does not launch even!!! I have reinstalled the game, still the same issue!!! Can you please advise??? I mean I have not even played the game, and I am facing this problem!!!

Anybody try this out with the Steam version? When I try to run the patch, I get the following message:



"This update for Mass Effect 2 is not for the Steam distribution of the game. Please run Steam to keep your install of Mass Effect 2 up to date."



Does anybody know if the Steam distro is updated yet? I couldn't find it in the ME2 update history.

 Ya I'm still getting these issues with a dual core. My pc easily passes the recommended specs, yet as soon as the "press any button to continue" screen comes up, it looks worse than the time I tried to play crysis on a computer that hadn't been updated with new hardware since 2004. I don't think I need to tell how that went over


As a side note, my computer now can run cryisis at max graphics with a pretty decent fps. Dragon Age runs perfectly, and just about every other game runs fine as well. Im starting to realize that Im in a very small percentile of people who seem to be having this problem, but Im still hoping Bioware won't throw this issue out to solve a year down the road.

[Cmdr. A. J. Shepard]

for those still crashing (or comp restarting), try this post I made. Never crashed on ME1 or ME2 after I figured this out.



Long story short -- RivaTuner - setting fan speed, PhysX off, and some graphics card control panel settings:

So it is not just me who, while having a dual core processor, is experiencing the bugs single-core users had prior to the patch.



Is another patch being planned?

[Sinthedik]

This is absurd. I have been bashing my head for over a week to get this game running smoothly. Every 10-20 minutes, I have horrible FPS (1 frame every 10 seconds?!) that lasts for several minutes. It occurs whenever it feels like it. During firefights, conversations, movies, the freakin pause menu. I have tried numerous "fixes" updating drivers, trying different or older drivers, adjusting graphics settings, making sure both cores of my processor work.



I run a E8400 dualcore, and an Nvidia GTX 260. Is Bioware capable of releasing non-buggy games? Should I even bother trying to play Mass Effect 3? Because my experiences with bugs in ME1 and ME2 are stupid. There are numerous bugs and issues, they should have pushed back the release. Might as well have, it'll take that long before this issue gets resolved.

I tried every option out there nothing works, It is strange to me because on my frist play thru I didn't have a problem with the collector missions prior to the patch, also didn't have and still don't with the other issues. I have a 3g single core which I found out is better then a 1.8g dual core, Nividia Geforce 6800, 3g ram, directx 10, also swaped out my video card to find out if it was the proplem, luckly I had a 256 Nividia card that I saved, same problem, I did notice this last time tring the iff mission on my second playthru that I hit control alt delete just as the game was crashing real fast and that my cpu usage was at a 100%, which explains why the game freezes. But it does't explain why this game contines to do this, I have never had this problem with other games I hope this doen't happen with ME 1 which I am waiting for it to arrive, I don't like downloaded games.

I know on other treads that this issue is not just related to single core and Bioware seems to be ingoring this. I know that if this is not resloved and ME 3 comes out I will not buy the game and Bioware or EA should listen because we are the ones who support them by buying their games, a company does't make money if they ****** off their support base like this and I have read a lot of the topics on this and there are a lot of pissed of people out there.

[Roxamir]

I have crash on the start of game, on the screen "Press any key to continue". When i do it, main menu does not appeare, and game crashes with this error.

General protection fault!

History: memcpy() Address = 0x78145108 (filename not found)
GImage::GImage() Address = 0x682a36 (filename not found)

GImage::GImage() Address = 0x90283d (filename not found)

Three weeks ago ME2 launched without crashes. I think it began after installing of new version of Net Framework.
Sorry for my bad english

Apologies if this came up earlier in the thread, as I only read about halfway through, but is there any known fix for the game immediately crashing on startup? I know my current laptop (a replacement, as my previous computer crashed and burned earlier this semester) is vastly underpowered, so it's understandable, but I was hoping I could at least run ME2 on low settings

I've tried (in order):
1.01 patch
setting all settings to lowest, both fullscreen and windowed/borderless
loading screen replacements
-nomovie fix

And it simply crashes (after blacking the screen and changing the resolution briefly if it's set to fullscreen) when I try to start it from the launcher menu.

My specs:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
CPU: Intel Celeron CPU 92.2
RAM: 2G
Video: Intel GMA 4500M

[renatsdale]

Here I go... same as most of U. The game crashes, screen goes black and only manual reboot is possible. When I load a save game, sometimes it crashes right away, some times it takes more 5 to ten minutes. I've benn running tests for two days now... nothing yet.



Window Vista Home Premium 32



Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 E7400



Asus P5Q-e (on board soundMAX)



ATI 4850 (Catalyst 10 - updated)



4gb Ram



I only havent tried the ATI Cross Fire Hotfix and I must verify if my Windows has recognized the dual core processor...



I'm Runing the game with only Film Grain On and AA filtering at 4x (tried it off and still crashes).

The symptoms make me believe it's not a GPU issue... anyways...

Reading a prior reply, quoted below, it makes me believe that it could have something to do with that FPS drop some people are experiencing, but since they have havier PC specs than I have, it could cause weaker PCs to crash.

Even though Bioware guys don't have a solution or, at least an idea of whats happenning, they should manifest themselves about people complaining... where are U Bioware?

[4rAnSIc]

hi guys.. just wanna share a bit of my experience wif the game.i bought it a month back( i think ), played it WITHOUT any saved games from ME1 (couldn't finish the game coz it keeps crashing/BSODing on me on the finale stage), DID NOT update it to patch 1.01, installed Collectors/Cerberus Armor/Zaeed/Normandy Crash site/Cerberus heavy weapon DLCs, had the settings at max (texture/detail/no film grain effect/resolution at the highest available), finished it wifout any of the problems posted above (could be just lucky) save for one out of my own stupidity at the following thread ( http://social.biowar...06/index/780111 ), and very much a happy man.
i'm no tech guy n i doubt i could reali offer any help at all, so i thought i could just post my rig here as a reference 4 those who have any doubts on their hardware set up n as 2 y they keep having these problems.. hope it helps.

Processor: Core 2 Quad Q8400
OS: Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit
RAM: 4GB Corsair 1006Mhz

Ok, I've been playing for a couple of hours and no crash... I've followed a few Terminus Pi steps and it seem to be working. In my case:



I haven't realy disabled Asus Aitwek (overclock) becouse it has no off option so, I tried to manually input the numbers following most of the factory specs for my CPU and GPU chips.



Then, I've disabled ATI Catalyst Overdrive and had to set my GPU fan speed to 80%, keeping the GPU under 60ºC (Since the avarage day here in Brazil is 34ºC!!!)



Still in Catalyst Control, I've manually set all the 3D options half way up, only, and tried to keep the game settings under that configuration (e.g. A-Filtering x4 in Catalyst Control, since my max is x8 and set x2 in the game config tool).



After 3 days tests, I came to a Conclusion that this is the same kind of crashing some people (like me) were experiencing with Storm of Zehir, the NWN2 expansion... all the symptoms lead to that.



Let's wait for a Bioware position on this!!! Bioware???

[William e]

A lot of people have been waiting for over a month on this issue, and Bioware does't even respond to at least accknowlde that they even care. There have been several other post on this problem.

[Tpek]

I think I managed to temporarily fix the issue, by ALT-TABing out of the game, going to task manager and setting the CPU priority for this game to High.

[William e]

OK here is what I found out, as I have posted before I have had crashes to desktop only during the collector missions at the end fight New horzins, collector ship, and iff missions. I read another post on crashes and they said it was temperture related. I cleaned my fans and watched my temps. This is what me2 is doing to our video cards, idle your temp is normal mine runs at 100, start me2, temp jumps up 5 degrees, haven't started game yet, hirt resume and temp jumps up to 118, can play thru missions and everything else with no crashes, get to collector end mission fight the boss temp jumps up to 130 , problably over and crashes to desktop. I opened up my case and put an esteral fan on the video card and was able to keep my video card fron overheating. Bioware you have created a major proplem here and need to fix this, there is no reason that you should allow people to have this kind of problem with their video cards and my card is up to your specs it is a 6800 nivida and works fine with no problems in my other games I do have DAO and never had a crash problem. Fix this now please.

You guys are aware a patch is out for quite some time now,and that it fixes 99.9% of the issues,right?

No it doesn't. First thing I've made was patching the game and updating GPU drivers.... long before starting posting in the forums.

The patch does not fix the issues at all.
In fact I never played without the patch.

I am playing without the patch and sense I discovered what was causing the the crash I have had no problems play ing the game.  For what ever the reason in the iff mission and collector missions the end battle is overheating your video cards.  Still feel that bioware should solve this with a patch, but I have put a exteranal fan on my video card whenever I do the end battles of the collector missions and have had no crashes.  Read my other post about this if you want.  MY specs are Intel 4 3g single core, nvidia geforce 6800, ram 3g, realtex hd audio direct x 10, visia 32 bit.  The issues that the patch address I have not had happen in the game with my pc.

hello!

I own ME2 Deluxe bought via EA Store. + all DLCs installed (except that one from Gamestop - obvious reasons)



I have a problem with switching weapons - game freezing when trying to change weapons (no matter if i try to do it through weapon locker nor squad select during mission/location);



I have played ME2 without any issues till this morning (system change/game fresh reinstall) :



my ME2 gaming history:



1. Vista Ult 64bit/AMD Phenom II 940 @ 3.2GHz/8 GB Ram/ATI 4850 512MB --> worked fine (got to suicide mission with no issues)



than I upgraded video card:



2. Vista Ult 64bit/AMD Phenom II 940 @ 3.2GHz/8 GB Ram/ATI 5850 1GB --> worked even better



than today I changed system (fresh install - different hard drive etc.)



3. W7 Prof 64bit/AMD Phenom II 940 @ 3.2GHz/8GB Ram/ATI 5850 1GB --> all that weapon crap started



I have tried reinstalling/ DLCs removing/ adjusting processes and cores/ playing w/o patch --> nothing has helped - everything ingame works fine except weapon swtching (locker/squad select);

my sytem isn't overheated (its a bit too cool in fact atm), no lags, no sound issues nor graphics artifacts...nothing...only that damn weapon freeze...



could it be that ME2 isnt compatibile with W7 64bit version?

any thoughts?

[mavericklan]

+1 to yarr. help please

As per any prior assertions of this nature, if any hardware component cannot cool itself adequately, the only software that you can pass off any blame to is anything that overtly interferes with the fan control, which includes drivers and fan utilities, not games.  Bioware has no responsibility for either badly designed hardware cooling systems, or poorly written drivers.  Really simple. 

[IbanSarawak]

never encounter with the problem before and after patching. smooth gameplay at medium setting, disable whatever shadow thing. it could be directx issue since your people using directx 10 and 11 rendering.try using windows XP SP3 compability mode and see if it can solve the problem.
