Origin and Mass Effect Legendary

[greenhorn001]

Hey. So, I've been playing Mass Effect Legendary for awhile. Without any issues. Been playing it on this computer for awhile. My question is, is it graphics specific? Or does it matter how you run it? Cause the graphics I have is Intel UHD Graphics 620. I actually used PC Benchmark to deterime that and its the only thing that it failed at. Which confused me. And since discovering that, its getting worse for ME Legendary. Now it just stutters and slows. And it wont run ME3 anymore. Actually, when I uninstalled Mass Effect Legendary from Steam and uninstalled Origin and uninstalled all the mod folders and it fixed ME3 somehow. And now, it just wont work anymore. And Im afraid of uninstalling Origin again because it might make my game unplayable? Will it make my games unplayable if I uninstall Origin? What's up with that?

 

Also, am I pushing it if I'm trying to play the game on an incompatible computer? Will it damage the files? Maybe I should not be playing it on this computer anymore? I love Mass Effect, so just. I need advice. Should I save for a better laptop before considering playing Mass Effect again? Cause it worked so well for some odd reason and now I can't play them anymore. To be fair, I can still play ME1 and 2 if I repair it. When I tried to do the repair for ME3, it made it unplayable. I might have broken it. Will having better graphics help repair the game?

 

I need advice cause I'm not technical. Not so much.

I do not have any of these games, but have you:

 

1. Cleaned up your hard drive, using the disk cleanup when right-clicking on your hard drive icon?

 

2. Defragged your hard drive after all of these changes (and the possible cleanup).

(extra files and very scattered install files can can slow a lot of stuff down - I assume that you do not have a SSD in your machine)

3. Used a can of compressed air to clean out the vents of your laptop?

 

4. Made sure that your graphics settings in the game are as low as you can stand them.
