Fix Mass Effect Legendary Edition Not Loading and Crash at Startup
Most new games these days don’t require the admin permission to work, but the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a remaster and a lack of permission could be causing the problem. A lot of users have reported that providing admin permission to the game and the launcher fixes the issue. Provide admin permission to both the Steam and Origin client and then, attempt to launch the game.
Another solution that’s seems to work is to change system locale, type Control Panel in the Windows Search > Clock and Region > Region > Administrative > click on Change system locale… > Check Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support. Restart the system.
These two solutions seems to be the best fix for the Mass Effect Legendary Edition Not Loading and Crash at Startup. However, if you have something better share them in the comments.
