Generally, it was found that changing the compatibility mode of the mass effect exe or launcher solved this problem, though there are some minor variations about which changes worked for which systems.

For others, it worked if you did this on the MassEffect launcher in the Mass Effect folder. Experiment and try other modes if this doesn't help.

Good luck. Frivolian View Profile View Posts. Thanks, worked like a charm! Managed to start the game using your recomandations and right before the intro movie the game freezez and i get the not responding window.

Any other ideeas? Oh, God! It's easy and it's working. Why there isn't this solution in official guide?! I think that that's exactly what happened to me when I only set the masseffect launcher to windows xp sp3 compatibility mode. It may take several minutes for the repair process to complete. Does the game still fail to launch? If yes, proceed to the next solution. As many players reported, changing the system locale dramatically resolves the Mass Effect not starting problem.

Give it a shot to see if that helps. And here are the steps:. Still no luck? Make sure to delete all the remaining game files before you reinstall the game. Hopefully one of the fixes above helped with the Mass Effect Legendary Edition not launching issue.

All I had to do is to exit steam then rightclick on my steam shortcut, then click "Run as administrator".

No problems since then. Originally posted by MalditaSeaJohnny :. You have to run the game in Windows XP compatibility mode. That is the BEST way to work. Esse jogo nao funciona. I also just recently purchased the game and had the same issues. However I managed to make it start. Hope this helped. Compatibility Mode and then restart Steam worked for me.
