I purchased the game 3 days ago, and have been wanting to play it ever since... Enter Mr. Freeze!!
Initially
faced installation issues (Insert Disk2...), but then copied the both
DVD contents onto HD, ran setup without any discs in drive ..installed
fine.
Is there a fix or a workaround for the freeze at Character Creation ?
Perhaps a save game that has the character selected already ?
My Rig:
OS : Windows XP SP3
Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
Motherboard : Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe
Memory : 3GB RAM
Graphics : Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX ( 768mb )
Direct X 9.0cHave all the latest drivers installed.
Here's what I've tried already:
- Extracted 'english.rar' contents to appropriate folder in my install directory (C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Mass Effect 2....)
- Unplugged wireless Keyboard and mouse - using PS/2 Devices now... freezes still
- Installed latest patch 1.02 - Got the ME2 CDKey Check error 'Failed to authenticate the disc'
- Pasted 'NO Dvd fix' from ' GameCopyWorld ' - Game starts... then freezes again after selecting character
- Set Affinity to one CPU... freezes still
- Mounted the .iso file of Disc1 through Daemon.. No luck still.
- Ran the game through windowed mode..Freeze
Im quite certain its not my config thats the issue here.. since it meets gameplay requirements.
But
is there something I havent tried already, maybe overlooked on the
forum ? Ive gone through them many times.. may have missed something.
This ordeal has gotten so frustrating its escalated to PURE RAGE for not
being able to play a legit copy of the game!!
Please advise... any help would be greatly appreciated
Just want to play game..
