I'm using Windows Vista and DirectX 10.0 (Nov 2008) My system specs are:
Processor: Intel® Core™2 CPU    T7200 @ 2.00GHz.
Display adapter: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 G   VRAM 256 MB

I'm playing Mass Effect 2 with a character transfered from Mass Effect 1, and am having two problems:

Firstly the game has a tendency to slow down or freze whenever alot is going on on screen, this isn't much of a problem though as it always unfreezes again with no problem after i Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Task manager and then enter the game again.

The second problem is more annoying as I can't seem to find a way around it. In the mission to get the reaper IFF the game keeps crashing when the Reaper Core comes online. When i tried not looking at it while it powered up the game didn't crash right away like the other times, and i managed to get through two waves of husks and shooting 6 grenades into the core before the game crashed again (I'm not sure but I thing the it happened just as the Core dies...)
I got Grunt and Jack with me if that is useful.

I have tried everything I could think of to work around the problem; Switching to the "High performance" power plan, setting the resolution to min. and turning off all effects and running the game as administrator. It still crashed 7 times in a row.

I can't really get any further in the game untill this is resolved or I find a way around it, so I hope someone can help. Thank you.

i am having the exact same problem, but whats odd is that i had already completed the mission earlier without a problem but now on my second play through its crashing.

[NewZealand]

Bump, Anyone help?

Maybe the problem is Jack. I was blaming the boss battle for my issue (crashing at the same spot during the Horizon mission), but I haven't tried swapping out party members because that's nowhere near where I am.

Well i had Miranda ( who wouldn't ) and Zaeed

[AndersKrei]

Well I found a way around the problem; First I activated the core with my back turned to avoid the immediate crash, fight it for a while until it is almost dead, then I fired a grenade towards the core and paused the game before it made impact, and turned around so that I was once again facing the other way.

The game doesn't crash if you do this, but it is hardly a solution, not to mention how anticlimactic it is not to be able to watch the boss die. It did allow me to get on with the game, but I would still like some help actually solving the problem not just sneaking my way around it, in case something similar happens again or the exact same thing happens again when I get around to my second play through.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Having the exact same problem.

[NewZealand]

Well since its been narrowed down to the lighting from the core, is there a certain option we should turn off in the .ini file?

[Cocane]

Having the same problem..

[NewZealand]

Come on! Someone help!

Cant a BioWare employee help fix this?

This problem has made the game unplayable.

[NewZealand]

Seriously? Are we supposed to spam messages to the admins?

[Spellcater3]

i have had this problem occur on 3 separate occassions with the steam digitial download version. seems to be file corruption for me.



every time it has happened, I am able to fix it by asking steam to "validate the game cache". steam finds invalid files, redownloads them, and then the problem goes away.

[Azath79]

had the same problem on collectors ship 5-6 times in a row, after shutting down the game for 2-3 hours then restart it didnt happen again.

[Davidos Wolfe]

I just had this problem, two times in a row.

The only freakin' problem I have with this game.

And the fact the thing won't bloody die



I got a quad core to boot, so I don't get why the hell it's crashing at this point and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Specs...



To put it simply, I'm playing on a semi-prototype PC which plays this game about 80 FPS constant... so what the hell?

[NewZealand]

Exactly! the game is absolutely perfect apart from this!!!

Please please please help us Bioware!

[BlackOmegaUnit]

I had a problem in recruit the krogan mission where game just crashed at the same spot constantly this spot was after you talk to the not perfect krogan and clear the next area you approach the staircase after hearing that woman on the loudspeaker you turn left and boom bai bai game... I had to reinstall now I got past that point but much much later I return to citadel and citadel staircases are bugged same way now... anyone got a clue what might cause / fix this ?

[KilrB]

Have any of you tried turning some of your graphics settings down/off?



The one time I had this problem I tuned "bloom" and "shadows" off and it worked fine.

[KnightFW]

Thanks KilrB that did the trick, I turned those two options off and havnt had a problem since.

[m3ga0n3]

Still hasn't worked for me. Come on Bioware, I really want to finish the game!!! At least give us some indication that you are working on a fix

[eatshellherr]

Same problem here. It originally was crashing on the Justicar mission load screen (after the taxi), so I tried Mordin's loyalty mission. It crashes every time I go through the door now. I can order my squad in, but as soon as I pass the the frame it cuts to desktop. Playing from the disc, on vista. System requirements are fine, already tried reinstalling the game.

[Obadiah]

This may or may not be helpful.The game was freezing for me at the end of the terrorist mission (the timed one to stop the nukes). I updated my ATI drivers (Vista 64) and that cured it.

[Ohsirus]

Keeps crashing on the IFF Map. I might make it thru one skirmish with 3-4 crashes. Right now I'm just stuck on the mass husks rush and it keeps locking up!

[Ohsirus]

Oh Nvidia gtx260 quad core

[ElMurdoc]
