    Mass Effect 3 Crashing while playing Eden Prime

    I am trying to play Mass Effect 3 on my Windows XP pc. The game looks to be working fine but there is some issue with the game. It crashed when I am trying to play Eden Prime. It is crashing constantly and not giving me any option to deal with the issue. I had tried various things to fix the issue but nothing is working. The game works with older stuff but as I go with Eden Prime it simply crash. I want some help to fix the issue. Thanks.

    The problem can be resolved if you go ahead with Adobe Air setup. You just have to install this and the problem will be resolved. First download the latest version of Adobe Air in your system. Once you get that you have to go the Mass Effect 2 binaries sub-directory. There you can find EACore_App.ini. Just check that the path mentioned for activation.exe is properly mentioned in the same. If that is wrongly provided then there will be issue. You have to run EACoreServer.exe from the binary folder and test back.

    I am dealing with a different kind of issue in my case. When I a trying to play the game I am facing a bit problem with Direct X. I have the latest version installed in my system but still the problem is constant. I found a small solution that I want to share here. So that anyone who is dealing with the problem can fix it easily. For that you have to go in the game directory. It is located in the C drive. Go in Program Files and open the Mass Effect folder. Delete DSETUP.dll, dsetup32.dll, DXSETUP.exe, etc files and relaunch the game.

    To easily solve this crashing issue go to the C:/Program Files (x86)/Origin Games/Mass Effect 3/Binaries and run the Config tool to adjust Mass Effect 3 resolution. If this doesn’t work then go to the nVidia Control Panel > 3D parameters > Global parameters then check your favorite graphic process and choose “High-performance NVidia Processor”. Once you done save the setting and after that let me know the issue.

    I got this instruction from official Origin site and I would like to suggest you to go through the below steps:
    1. First of all make sure Origin and your game are not running.
    2. Download these file here: click here to download EACore.dll and click here to download awc.dll .
    3. Unzip or extract the contents to your desktop.
    4. Once you finish downloading navigate to the binaries\core folder:
    5. Mass Effect 3 default is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\Core
    6. Make a backup copy of your AWC.dll and EACore.dll files
    7. Move downloaded awc.dll and EACore.dll files from your desktop into the directory listed above.
    8. Now run Origin and launch your game from Origin.

    If you're game crashes randomly on the game's launch, ensure or try the following:
    • Origins EA disable in-game.
    • Update your video driver nVidia / ATI.
    • Turn off SLI / Crossfire then start the game.
    • Turn off your anti-virus software before launching the game.
    • Try using a single GPU first
    • Try running the game in windowed mode (often working for low-end PCs)
    • Disable anti-aliasing filters and
    • Turn off V-sync
    • Disable background applications and disable anti-virus software
    • Right-click on the Mass Effect 3 exe file, go to the 'compatibility mode' and select 'Disable desktop composition'
