How To: Get rid of Launching Problem

Credit really goes to the people who posted in the "launching problems" discussions.



To play Mass Effect,

1a)For x86 go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect\Binaries

1b)For normal, I suppose C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect\Binaries or just the steam file in "program files" then follow the rest



2) Right Click on "MassEffect"



3) Click "troubleshoot compatability"



4) Click "use recommended settings" or some mumbo jumbo like that



5) Enjoy Your game.



Afterwards, when you exit the game there should be a finish button or at least a continue in the window that deals with your compatability problem. Just continue and it should be fine.





Also, not a long time steam player, so I don't know whether or not running the game in compatability with windows xp service pack 2 but I can't access steam in game through the usual "shift + tab" command. Normal or no?
