Once you’ve done all that, just run the game through steam or origin normally and you should see the new custom launcher, select the game you wish to play and call me daddy!
NOW DO NOT CHANGE THE EXE IN ANYWAY, Like changing it to “Run as Administrator” as it is known to cause problems. Now go to the “Game” Folder, Launcher, and click and drag the MassEffectLauncher.exe from the downloaded folder into the Launcher folder, you will be prompted to replace the file, click yes. Next open up the directory of where you installed your game, just open up steam and right click MELE, go to properties, local files, browse. Open the folder with a file managing tool like 7zip, and you should see 3 files, MassEffectLauncher.ahk, MassEffectLauncher.exe, and a readme file.ĥ. Save the downloaded file to where you can access it.Ĥ. Select “Manual Download” then “Slow download”.ģ. Click on the “Files” tab, when it loads you’ll see “Main files MassEffectLauncher-MELo”
You’ll need a nexusmods account before you can download the file.Ģ. The fix itself is actually just replacing the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition launcher with a modified file from the Nexusmods forums,here i’ll show you the steps on downloading and replacing the file in your game directory.
It took me some looking around on online forums until i found a solution that worked for me, as a Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit User, this should help anyone else suffering from the same problem. Which is why when you go to launch the game, it won’t work. The real reason as to why the game isn’t running on Windows 7 is because some Mass Effect LE players have an artificially limited selection of languages in their original BioWare Mass Effect LE launcher.
However, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition does not include any features that require for example, the DirectX12 API, so it’s pretty strange that they’d list Windows 10 as the minimum requirement to get the game running, because anyone with the original copies of all 3 games can run them just fine and they are all pretty much the same when it comes to core of each game when you compare them to their Legendary Edition counterparts, as i said, it’s mostly been visual changes.
So you probably validated the files through steam, or repaired the game files through origin and both come back clean, so you try running the game again and get the same error, this is why.Īlthough Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is really just a upgrade to visuals mostly, surprisingly Windows 10 is listed as the MINIMUM REQUIREMENT to run the game. (Optionally) go to %appdata%, there should be file alsoft.How to fix the “Please Reinstall Your Game” Errorįirst off, some of you may have been trying to run the game through steam or origin for the first time, but each time you do you keep getting an error telling you to reinstall your game, something along those lines. Run alsoft-config.exe from openal-soft-bin\alsoft-config and set your desired channels – in my case it’s 7.1 and click apply, you can try other options, whatever seem to be better for youĦ. There should be already section like ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice so put it thereĥ. To BIOEngine.ini in config directory in path like Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\Config, make it read-only so game doesn’t override it. Delete OpenA元2.dll from binaries in game directoryĤ. Put file from Win32/soft_oal.dll as OpenA元2.dll to Windows/SysWOW64 and file from Win64/soft_oal.dll as OpenA元2.dll to Windows/system32, override if necessaryģ. Just rename Win64\soft_oal.dll to OpenA元2.dll and drop it in Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64Ģ.
