Mass Effect Message Board  

Gotta love it when the screen goes black and the music is still going in the background.
I'm statring to wonder if I should try to turn off norton while playing this.
"Mildy irritating" is one thing I can call it, "Jævlig irriterende" is another.

I believe the reason my games save feature isnt working is do to the game activation cus i have the (DET.) release but as far as sound and video problems, I have none what so ever, i'm on XP and have a high in next gen PC. Only other problem i seem to have over all other next gen games such as Assassin's Creed and Gears of War and Turok, just to name a few is that, Mass Effect seems to run my Vid Card Hot no other games has ever ran hot like that one does, i have 2 44m fans and a couple smaller ones and i still just for mass effact have to use a box fan sitting on a small table right up against my cpu, that seems to keep it just cool enough so i dont have to listen to the over heating warning beeps. Other then those 2 problems im very pleased with this game and its awesome story line.

What I would say is the most irritating thing, is the fact that I have to actually restart my computer to try and play the game again. If I close the game when it crashes and try to start it again I get a "general protection fault" message and can't play the game. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the game and it hasn't changed anything.

How did you get the trainer? You are not an unlimited member. I hope you are referring to the promo trainer. If I am in error please accept my apology.

Umm, the errors might also appear because you're using a crack. (If you are using a crack, that is.)
There are several reports circling around that the crack available is causing some major issues with the game.
So for those of you that have bought the game (shame on everyone who hasn't), try running uncracked. (Or try the crack if you're running uncracked, that might change things.)

As he said.The games user license basically said
tampering with the activation or trying to stop it
will mess up the game and not work right.The bottom
line just buy a retail copy.If your offend by the
post and are using a crack on the retail version
I apologize.

Well I bought the game over Direct 2 Drive. I'm not sure if that uses a crack or not. (It might now that I think about it.) My copy is legal it just has lots of problems. I just tried running it on the lowest graphics settings to see if that would help and it didn't.

I get crashes during cutscenes mostly. Wo knows whats the cause.
