ah, ok. Yeah, sorry i didn't specify about the steam alternate. so it is likely a mod that is conflicting. I'm in the mood for some very modded Mass Effect right now. So, i will tinker with DAO later. Thanks for taking the time to reply. :)

thanks for replying. :happy: You're very right about troubleshooting the game through progressive mod adding, i will do that ..later.. i still feel burnt out from this last week's frustrations, For Steam version, the patch is supposed to work if you also get the alternate DAOrigins.exe to replace the one in the bin-ship folder and then apply the patch. Are you saying it still doesn't work in spite of that ? Soon, i will reinstall the game without any mods. I did play it on this PC 2 years ago , without mods and it did work then. ..well, to be followed.

i also experienced crashes after mods and i tried everything ( well except the right thing obviously) . i had : 4gb patch to both the game .exe and the launcher .exe and used various tips gleaned on various sites such as : -reduced affinity to one core -added -dx9 -installed mods through DAO manager , creating override packets, checking for compatibility issues -reduced graphics to medium, then low . -ticked off autosave -ticked off buffer . i tried IA, JB3 but removed them , thinking them to be a cause of probs. the only mods i kept were "pretty faces" for the warden and mods that alter gameplay ( enabling the console , skip the fade , extra slots , etc. ) game still froze after all these solutions . The only thing i didn't try was no mods at all whatsoever, haha. well, now the game is uninstalled ( bought it from steam ) . Pity for it's such a fun game.
