Mass Effect (2007)

[scrotty]

There's only one active torrent available but my antivirus found a virus in it, no, it wasn't the crack. It never gives false positives on those. It was Malware.

That first link didn't show up for me..probably the period instead of a space between Mass and Effect. It only has 1 seeder, but I probably would've tried anyway. The second link is the one I mentioned in the OP. In any case, this thread can be disregarded I guess as I've found and downloaded from here: http://www.torlock.com/torrent/1301123/mass-effect.html

It was quite a pain to find..

Wow, August 14, lol. Sorry about the late reply but at the time I was about to lose internet and was downloading a bunch of games that I've heard of that had a high reputation. The download from that link does work, I literally just beat the game through the good reputation last night. Lasted 24 hours doing a lot side missions and the main story. Don't know if it's the fact that I have Windows 8.1 or the game is just buggy, but it sometimes froze when I tried using the elevator in the glacier lab and at one point when I got ragdolled then opened my inventory. I could run it at the max quality using a nameless "Intel HD" graphics card. Other than questionable issues I also hate the severe lack of auto-saves but I guess I forgot about the quick-save hotkey. Not used to that, and custom creating a female...their noses...so weird..actually custom female creation is not favorable imo.

Usually when I want to run old PC games on a newer windows, I run it compatibility mode. Maybe, running ME in Windows XP, will improve game stability.

Also make sure to install the latest patches. From your description, it looks like ME is un-patched. Download this patch to fix various bugs in the game.

Can you update pirated games with patches? Always thought the developers fix exploits crackers use to make the game playable, making the game un-playable after patching or is that true but not with this game? Thanks for the tip btw.

I doubt at the time of 2007, developers had already started to release updates to fix pirated version of their software. I downloaded a pirated Skyrim (2011) a few months after its release. Then when the updates from Bethesda came rolling in, I managed to install them without trouble.

But if you want to be on the safe side, create a restore point. Then, download & install update to see if it is compatible with your Mass Effect. If not, you can just go with system restore & turn back in time, and not have to go with the hassle of reinstalling ME.

Good luck
