~Di Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) ME2 installed fine, I got the DLC's, the launcher comes up and hooks me up to Cerubus, but when I try to start the game, I get no further than the loading screen (which has no movement, just an amber shape of some kind and the word "loading"). I've got 2 gig of ram, a 133 Pent 4, Nvidia 7800 and SB audigy (the sound is fine... plays music while I stare at the frozen loading screen). My computer then has to be rebooted. Are loading times actually 5-10 minutes long, or have I got a real problem? Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm currenting going through the Bio Tech forum, but I usually get better advice here.

Purkake Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) I'm guessing it's the infamous ME2 single core problem. I think there was a fix for that somewhere. Unfortunately I'm not intimately familiar with that particular issue. Edited February 28, 2010 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) You'll need to download the single core fix that can be found on the internets. You might also try the 1.01 patch as it was supposed to help with those issues as well. EDIT: If you need the link again PM me. Edited February 28, 2010 by Deadly_Nightshade "Geez.

~Di Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 You'll need to download the single core fix that can be found here (I used a direct like to the file as I wasn't sure if the website hosting the file is allowed here). You might also try the 1.01 patch as it was supposed to help with those issues as well. Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, I don't see that fix on the page that your link took me to.

The patch came out five days ago. That's a copy of the patch for people with pirated copies of the game. Actually, no, it wasn't. The file I linked was an older, player-made patch/fix that only dealt with single-core issues. "Geez.

That's a copy of the patch for people with pirated copies of the game. I tried the patch first, and it worked right away. I didn't need the "unofficial" fix, but thanks to my fellow forumites, I knew that the problem was a single-core game glitch and not my machine! I wasn't going to download the patch because people were complaining that it broke more than it fixed, so if I hadn't been told what my problem was, I wouldn't have even thought about the patch. So again, to those who helped me, thanks so much! Edited March 1, 2010 by ~Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
