|
 |
I'm about 25 hours in and my screen goes black when I activate the map to take the shuttle. Haven't had any issues till now. I am using the single core no intro fix also.
I've got latest vid drivers etc so I'm not sure whats going on I even tried reinstalling and still no go.

Happened the same to me. Couldn't fix it, I assume it's because of the vids I've replaced.
You can't get a save after that point either, it's the last mission. I know, it sucks, I've tried everything.

Sigh ....I dunno why this issue exists my single core has handled everything perfect and mass effect 2 runs smooth as it can get so I hate feeling forced to upgrade when its not needed.

Well for me, this is the most bugless game evar !
I had no crashes and no problems except 2 times when my character started floating above the ground and I had to reload.
Why don't you guys go to a friend's PC and continue that save game there and save after the next mission starts, so you can contnue that at home.

Thing is, I don't think it's from my PC, I have a dual core, 3 gigs and a 5770. I also had the loading freezes. Meh.

Have you tried the core disabling and reenabling trick ?

Here's the fix for the black screen issue after acquiring the IFF:
| Quote: | Ok heres how to get the last mission started using the workaround. This is going to sound ridiculous but I got it working, theres going to be massive stuttering but you can get past the "attack(spoiler)"
I'd recommend having a save game ready to go at the galaxy map
Step 1: Backup all your green loading movies
Step 2: Replace all your loading movies with the originals
Step 3: Start the game with movies enabled DON"T PRESS ANY KEY
Step 4: Watch the optional intro movie by waiting a minute at "press any key screen"
Step 5: Press any key when it returns to the intro screen, there should be stutter, don't worry this will get you past the loading screen when you load your save game
Step 6: Resume your save and stutter through the mission, it should end without stutter (IE: in breifing room)
Step 7: Save after mission
Step 8: Go set back up your workaround.
Step 9: Resume your save after the misson! Enjoy
Ridiculous, I know, if you knew which loading screens you needed you could fix it but that is for someone else to figure out. Don't skip steps or you will freeze. Good luck! |
It really does work, although it's a pain in the ass to suffer through all those ingame videos.

2.8GHz AMD dual-core, 2 gigs and the same GPU. No loading freezes. Also I'm multitasking like crazy and the game stay's stable. I'm really impressed since I'm playing Fallout 3 from time to time and that's a piece of shit regarding stability.
Windows is freshly installed...
