Tysyacha Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I made this in hopes of maybe getting someone's attention at BioWare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EOgMqW5eDw Enjoy! *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I have been following this with supreme interest, and mild amusement... EA Haters are having a *field day* with this Our beloved BioWare teams up with EA and BAM!!! >> CRAP GOES HAYWIRE! the GPF crash thread at BioWare/ME forums is over 20 pages long already Some things to try, if you havent done so yet: *If you have an AMD AThlon X2 CPU, update the CPU drivers *Roll back to a 169.XX WHQL driver or earler version of catalyst, depending on what you are using *wait for a patch This has definitely made me put this game "on hold til fixed" for my pc Many are simply saying: "How the heck did this get past QA?!!!" If you got it from EB, you should be able to take it back/exchange right? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Uh, Tysy, I'm not saying there isn't a GPF problem with Mass Effect PC that is impacting many players of the game but in your particular case don't you think you're giving BioWare and EA an easy out when [thread=190106]your PC doesn't meet minimum RAM requirements[/thread] specced for the game?

Pho3nix Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I bought Mass Effect just a while ago and haven't had any problems so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its unlikely to fix the GPF though...people, many with some uber-specs have been reporting the same thing. I'd love to see what it does on my pc, but am not willing to pay for the privelege and risk coasterage We'll wait for those patches eh mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 And some PC gamers wonder why many have switched to consoles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessJ Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yeah, I normally prefer the PC version of any game, but not this one. My laptop exceeds the minimun requirements, but thanks to Vista, my crap looks all wrong. But at least I can get mine to play, I guess. Here's a vid I made so you can see what I mean: Notice the fact that it looks like I've got a dinosaur for a video card. So, yeah, Mass Effect on xbox, FTW.

Astrotoy7 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 And some PC gamers wonder why many have switched to consoles... no wondering here.....read the devs reports...their main gripe is piracy, not the fact that Little Timmy doesnt have a GTX280.... Crytek, EA and BioWare(and many others) have all come out and said it in no uncertain terms. The 360 + some controllers +1 game etc cost $500AUD($48*US) A DIYER can knock themselves together a great mid end gaming pc for that much easy mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
