Bioware released Mass effect: Andromeda for platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Unlike the original trilogy (Unreal Engine), the new game was created from scratch on the new Frostbite Engine. Optimizing the PC version is far from ideal, so you need a fairly powerful processor and a modern graphics card to play lag-free at high settings in Full HD resolution. Known technical issues for Mass Effect: Andromeda include crashing, not launching, not installing, endless loading, missing / missing sound, and bugs. We offer you the most common solutions to these problems.
If any errors occur, the first thing to do is to make sure that the latest drivers for your video card are installed.
The game does not open in full screen
The game constantly returns to windowed mode... The only way to get Full Screen- use windowed mode without borders.
Solution:
Delete the files profileoptions and profileoptions_options located in the save folder. If it doesn't help, check this topic on the EA forum.
Where are the Mass Effect: Andromeda saves located?
C: \ Users \ USERNAME \ Documents \ BioWare \ Mass Effect andromeda\ Save
Character stuck in textures
Quite a common bug in which a character gets stuck in boxes, under steps, etc. Sometimes it even fails inside the box or through the texture and goes on an endless flight. If jumping and dodging don't help, then fast travel points can be used. But if there are no such points, then only load the last save. In the game, the last three autosaves are created by default.
Game lags / freezes / freezes
If random access memory less than 16 GB, then this is most likely the reason.
High GPU temperatures can also cause freezes.
Try lowering your graphics settings.
If even with low settings the game lags, then it is obvious that your PC simply cannot cope. As mentioned above, the optimization of Mass Effect: Andromeda leaves much to be desired, the game is quite demanding on the hardware.
Blue Screen (BSOD)
The game crashes into a blue screen. Possible error messages: Invalid license. reason code = invalid cipher (0x0006). Or ntoskrnl.exe errors
Solution:
EA support advises to uninstall the trial version (if installed) - C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Origin Games \ Mass Effect Andromeda \ MassEffectAndromedaTrial.exe
But that doesn't always help. Users write that even a clean installation of Win 10 Pro and then reinstalling the game does not solve the problem.
V this case need to look away hard disk... Even if other games are installed and work fine, this does not mean that there are no problems with the disk. Bad sectors may be the cause. It is also worth trying to replace the SATA cable. It is possible that the drive does not have enough power, try plugging a different cable from the power supply into it.
Black screen after startup, nothing happens
Solution:
Remove Corsair Utility Engine (if installed)
Try to run the game in windowed mode
DirectX / DirectX crash errors
Possible errors: DirectX function "Dx11Renderer :: tryMap" failed
Solution:
Update the video card driver.
Increasing the paging file has helped some users.
Clean up C: \ drive and disable additional monitors if available.
Endless loading
The game freezes when the level is loaded
Possible solutions:
- "Restore" or "Refresh" the game in the Origin library (RMB on the game and select the one you want)
Remove / Reinstall Vc ++ Libraries
Uninstall / Reinstall Direct X 11
Uninstall / Reinstall the game
Disable Origin in-game screen (Origin -> Application Settings -> Advanced Tab)
Disable Origin Cloud Saves (Origin -> Application Settings -> Settings Tab and Saved Files)
Add AtivationUI.exe to antivirus exclusions
Launch the game with different graphics settings (low, medium, high and auto)
Instead of full screen mode run the game in window mode
Install Nvidia driver 378.66
Launching Origin and the game in Administrator mode
Disable all applications (antivirus, skype, steam, etc.) except Origin
Alt + Tab at the moment of freezing, and then reopen the game window
Unable to complete task
Some completed quests "freeze" in the journal and are marked as not completed, although there is no continuation. There is only one way out: wait for the patch and bug fixes. Alternatively, boot from one of the three autosave points and rerun the task.
Crashes to the desktop in a multiplayer game
Wait for the patch from the developers. The topic was raised on the EA forum.
Cursor "stuck" in the center of the screen
The problem might be related to the application that uses overlays.
Solutions:
In the properties of the game, uncheck the box "Enable in-game screen for the game Mass Effect ™: Andromeda"
Disable Origin in-game screen (Origin -> Application Settings -> Advanced Tab)
End these processes if present in Task Manager: SteelSeries Engine, Razer Synapse, ReShade
Disable recording programs (fraps, bandicam, etc.).
No sound or sound cuts out, background noise
For Realtek sound cards, switch the audio type from Quadraponic to Stereo in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
For SoundBlaster Z sound cards (maybe some others), restarting the Creative Control Panel will help.
Computer shuts down or freezes completely
A shutdown indicates overheating of some element of your PC, or a problem with the power supply.
Solution:
If the processor / video card / memory is overclocked, then return to the default settings.
BioWare's development team went to great lengths to fix all the bugs in their Mass Effect product, but alas, not everything remained perfect. Unfortunately, the optimized version also throws a lot of errors, no matter how hard the developers try.
In the event that you have bugs during the game, Mass Effect crashes or does not start, our guide will tell you what to do in most of the known cases.
Almost all the errors that users have have been discovered long ago - everything has been done so that everyone can fix them on their own. Also, manufacturers periodically release patches in which they fix this or that common error. Consider also the fact that you need to be a confident PC user in order to fix errors yourself. Otherwise, if you have a bad idea of what you are doing, it is better to invite a person who will understand at least something in setting up a PC.
There are a lot of bugs in Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect won't launch or install
Mass Effect Error Number One: Direct X Install Critical Error Fix
This error occurs in some parts of the game series, for example, in the third. If you install Mass Effect using Origin, you run the risk of not being able to install DirectX. As a result, a message will be displayed stating that a Direct X Internal Critical Error has occurred. In order to solve it, you should enter the C drive, then into Program Files (x86). There, select the Origin Games folder, then in Mass Effect 3 - __Installer. In this folder, select directx, there find redist, in which you should delete: DSETUP.dll, dsetup32.dll, DXSETUP.exe. After that, the error is eliminated.
The second error also occurs while playing the third part of Mass Effect
Its name is VC ++ Runtime Distributable Package Not Installed Error. To resolve it, you must first download the latest version of Microsoft C ++, for this use the installation directory in Mass Effect 3. You can go to the official Microsoft website, and there already download Microsoft C ++ 2010 x64.
You can uninstall Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 on your PC, as well as any other Microsoft programs that are available. After that, enter the C drive, find the Program Files (x86) folder. There, select the Origin Games folder, then in Mass Effect 3 -__ Installer. After that go to vc path, after vc2008sp1 and to redist. Delete vcredist there. After that, on the C drive, in the same folder where you are, drop the Microsoft C ++ pack. After that, the problem with Mass Effect not starting shouldn't occur.
One of the common problems is that in Mass Effect, there is a setup window in which the setup takes forever. To solve this problem, you should go to regeditor, then follow the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, Wow 6432Node, EA Games and finally Mass Effect. Open this folder and go to GDFBinary. There, add Install Dir to the value. After that, copy this text and add it to the path C: \ Program Files \ Origin Games \ Mass Effect (the installation path may differ). As a result, you will get the following: ab (Default) REG_SZ (not installed); ab GDFBinary REG_SZ C: \ Program Files \ Origin Games \ Mass Effect \ GDFBinary_en_US.dll; ab Install Dir REG_SZ C: \ Program Files \ Origin Games \ Mass Effect. Finally, restart your computer.
If Mass Effect does not start and the error Mass Effect 3: Failed to Initialize The Physics System pops up, this means that there are problems with physics in the game. Fam should clean up the physics drivers and then update them. If everything reappears, then you should copy PhysXCore.dll and paste into \ Mass Effect 3 \ Binaries \ Win32 \.
If Mass Effect lags, there is a way to check its performance. In the event that it is low, you need to increase it - this often happens when using a laptop for games. You should open the nvidia control panel, then go to "3d settings" and then "manage 3d settings". After that, go to the program settings, find the mass effect, and then change it to high performance nvidia processor.
If during the loading process Mass Effect it is interrupted, the error is displayed AWC.Dll Exe Loader, then you should contact the moderator Bioware. This error often appears in the second and third parts of the game.
Mass Effect crashes
Sometimes the game can crash to the desktop. It is clear that you want to eliminate this error, which interferes with the normal passage. To do this, you need to go to the toolbar, where you click on quality, and then select Performance.
If, among other things, you also have a low frame rate and the picture freezes, then you should pay attention to the video card driver. After all, Mass Effect often slows down precisely because you need to update the driver. In order to do this, you need to enter the Nvidia settings, then enter the 3D management, select Program Settings, and then go to the "Add" line. In parallel, enter the game folder, and then along the path "Mass Effect \ Binaries \ Win32" and select "MassEffect.exe". After that select the "preferred graphics processor for this computer" column and then apply the "high performance NVIDIA processor"
After that, reboot
If the Origin mode in Mass Effect does not start, then you need to check if the Internet is working. You can also turn off your antivirus software.
If Mass Effect crashes during startup, turn off Origin. If a Black Screen appears in the process, you can lower the resolution level, update the driver, activate the compatibility mode with the software, or use the launch via exe-file or config.exe.
If Mass Effect won't load, you can also try using the Task Manager to select MassEffect and then select Set Affinity. Then change the kernels to two.
It also happens when Mass Effect crashes and loads very slowly, then you need to remove the marker from the Enable Origin In-game item in the settings in the game.
All errors in the game can be fixed by yourself Other errors
- Sometimes there is a little problem with the fact that your hero seems to get stuck. To do this, you should restart the game by entering the next time through the previously saved option.
- If you don't have voice chat in Mass Effect multiplayer mode, you should double-check the microphone connection using the Tab button or reinstall the toy on your PC. Also, if your microphone icon is blinking in red, you should update the driver. Also, as an option, you can reboot the PC.
- But if the use of hot keys does not work in multiplayer mode, then you should re-enter the Mass effect, and then select another hero in the lobby.
- But if Mass Effect lags and there are problems in using the chat, then you should restart your PC.
- In the course of the game, errors in textures may occur. Then you should update your driver.
- If you have disconnects in the process, then you should look for less complicated toys.
- If you get an error while searching for friends in multiplayer mode, then it is not your fault - the developers have not completed the search.
- If during the game the hero stops moving, then you can try to make a jump and go for cover.
We hope our tips helped to fix all the problems, and now Error Mass Effect will not occur.
A couple of days ago something happened that many fans of the deservedly legendary space series from Bioware were waiting for - the release of Mass Effect Andromeda. No matter who talks about this game, whatever problems with animation it has, and indeed problems with the technical component in general, but a new game in the Mass Effect series of games is always an important event.
Despite multiple negative reviews about the adventures of the Pioneer, Mass Effect Andromeda can at least work stably and even produce a decent frame rate on many machines, despite the juicy picture. But, nevertheless, a modern project is a modern project, and of course it could not do without some "jambs".
In this article, we will look at various errors, bugs and other issues in Mass Effect Andromeda, as well as show you how to fix them. To begin with, as always, you need to familiarize yourself with the system requirements for Mass Effect Andromeda, because a huge number of problems can manifest themselves precisely because your PC does not meet these requirements.
- Processor: Intel Core i5 3570 | AMD FX-6350
- RAM: 8 GB
- HDD: 55 GB hard disk space
- Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 | AMD Radeon HD 7850 with 2GB memory
- DirectX Version: 11
- Also: Keyboard, Mouse
- Operating system: Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 (x64 only)

So, we hope that your PC meets at least the minimum system requirements, as problems may arise from the fact that the computer simply cannot handle the game.
Solving various problems and errors in Mass Effect Andromeda
Low FPS in Mass Effect Andromeda
It is already a standard problem for all newly released games. But do not worry, since the solution to this problem has literally been in front of you all this time. You installed new drivers for your video card that came out not so long ago, didn't you? If not, that's the problem. The thing is that almost always with the release of some AAA game, drivers for video cards are also released, which will be optimized specifically for it. So head straight to your graphics chip manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. And one more thing - if you are trying to play Mass Effect Andromeda on some kind of integrated card, then it is better to give up this idea, as they are not intended for use in such high-tech games.
Black of black screen in the Mass Effect Andromeda
Black screen in games is already quite a classic problem. You should not worry in this case, as users have already found a couple of ways to get rid of this problem.
- First, you need to uninstall Corsair Utility Engine if such software is installed on your computer. Once you uninstall this software, restart your PC and try to launch Mass Effect Andromeda again.
- The second step you can take is to launch the game in windowed mode. To do this, simply launch the game and then press the Alt + Enter key combination. If that works, go to Mass Effect Andromeda Settings and change the game mode to Windowed or Windowed Borderless. After that, it should start as it should.
Mass Effect Andromeda not starting
It may also happen that your copy of the game does not start at all. Users have already found out that Anti-Virus can block one specific file - ActivationUI.exe. All you need to do is put ActivationUI.exe in the list of exclusions for your Anti-Virus. Then try launching Mass Effect Andromeda again.
Mass Effect Andromeda: Ryder Stuck In Animation
As we already know, Mass Effect Andromeda has huge animation problems. You can get into a position in which your main character gets stuck during the execution of the next animation. To get out of this rather funny situation, do the following:
- Try switching between combat mode and exploration mode.
- ... try jumping. As they say, sometimes it helps.
- Try turning your scanner on and off.
- Well, if everything is useless, restart the game.
Mass Effect Andromeda freezes in cutscene
During Ryder's becoming a Trailblazer, there is a possibility that the game will freeze during this cutscene. Quite an unexpected problem, but users have already found some ways to solve it.
- Put Mass Effect Andromeda in windowed mode for the duration of the cutscene, then do the opposite after the cutscene ends.
- If you have to overclock the processor, then reset it to factory settings. Some users claim that this can help.
HDR bugs in Mass Effect Andromeda
Some players say they have some strange graphical bugs and glitches while using HDR in Mass Effect Andromeda. All of this, of course, should be fixed in the next patches, which will hopefully follow soon, but there is one workaround for this problem. It consists in a simple Alt + TAB during the game.
The highly anticipated intergalactic action RPG Mass Effect: Andromeda is available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The optimization of the game cannot be called bad, but if you have any problems, then in this article we will try to help you solve them. Do not despair if you cannot start the game or it slows down for you, perhaps the essence of the problem lies in something unrelated to the power of your system. If Mass Effect: Andromeda does not start, slows down, crashes, Mass Effect: Andromeda errors, black screen, no sound, Mass Effect: Andromeda is not installed, multiplayer does not work - we offer you ways to solve these problems.

Updating the software
Before you go into hysterics, remember all the dirtiest words and want to crash your PC, carefully read this article, which contains solutions to the most popular problems. First, update the drivers for your video card:
AMD Radeon
.
Download video card drivers Nvidia GeForce
.
To always be aware of all updates, we advise you to download the program Driver Scanner .
To optimize your computer for the needs of a particular game, we advise you to use the program Razer Game Booster .
Also, don't forget about additional software such as DirectX .
Mass Effect: Andromeda not starting
First, try to launch the game not from the shortcut on the desktop, but from the Origin library (on PC) or from the root folder of the game. Make sure that the installation of the game has been completely completed, and all files have been downloaded. In addition, it is best to disable your antivirus software before installing it. It is possible that some of the game files were deleted or installed incorrectly, and therefore you need to either check the local files in Origin or reinstall the game.
Mass Effect: Andromeda crashes. Low FPS. Lags. Friezes
Before scolding the optimization of the game, carefully review the official system requirements of the game (see above). Make sure your system is fully compliant. In addition, if your computer meets the minimum, and you play at high graphics settings, then do not be surprised by the low FPS. In this case, you just need to lower the graphics settings in the game.
Also, don't forget about the video card driver. Before the release of Mass Effect Andromeda, new drivers were released for it. Be sure to update them, and after that start the game. During the game, try to disable all external programs that consume a lot of resources (antivirus, browser, etc.).
Mass Effect: Andromeda crashes to the desktop. Kicks out of the game
Make sure your computer has enough free RAM. Often, crashes occur due to a discrepancy between the hardware and the requirements of the game. Also, try to clear the RAM before launching Mass Effect: Andromeda by closing external programs that will consume a lot of RAM. You can see how much RAM you have in the Task Manager under the Performance section.
Mass Effect: Andromeda black screen
First, try the standard solutions: during a black screen, switch to windowed mode (Alt + Enter) and vice versa, restart your computer and start the game again, update the video card driver, update Origin. If all this fails, it is most likely that your video card or processor does not meet the minimum system requirements for the game.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is not installed
You must have an active internet connection to install Mass Effect: Andromeda. When installing the game, in Origin, make sure you are using the latest client and install an update if necessary. Sometimes the installation may freeze. If so, don't worry, just wait. How quickly the game downloads and installs depends to a large extent on the speed of your Internet.
Make sure you have more than enough free memory on your hard drive, otherwise the game will not install. Disable your antivirus before installing, as it can block some processes that interfere with the game.
There is no sound in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Sound stutters. Sound does not work
Sometimes the problem may not be with the game itself, but with the sound device. Make sure it is completely functional using the example of other games. Also, update your audio driver. It will not be superfluous to check if the sound is turned on in the game settings. Check the integrity of the local files, it is possible that there were some problems with the installation.
Character does not move in Mass Effect: Andromeda
Switch from combat mode to exploration mode, then make a jump, and then launch the scanner. If the problem is not resolved in this way, restart the game itself.
Multiplayer not working in Mass Effect: Andromeda
To begin with, I would like to clarify all the subtleties. First, the game's multiplayer does not support proxy servers, so if you are using one, disable them. Secondly, for multiplayer, you must have a good internet connection. Otherwise, you may either not connect to the online session or experience lags.
There is no Russian language in Mass Effect: Andromeda. How to enable Russian
Officially, the game is localized into Russian (text only), and therefore it is not necessary to download any localization or something like that. If, for some reason, by default, you have a different language in the game, try changing it in the settings or in Origin. Also, do not forget that if you play in the western region, then by default you will have a different language.
Controls not working in Mass Effect: Andromeda
Unlike the previous three games, Mass Effect: Andromeda has official support for gamepads on the PC. That is, now you can control the character not only with the keyboard and mouse, but also using the controller. In addition, if you need to quickly switch between gamepads and keyboard, then simply press any button on one of these devices, after which there will be an automatic change of control.
If the controls do not work for you, describe in the comments below what exactly you cannot do, and what you are playing - a keyboard or a gamepad (model).

The release of a new game from the BioWare studio has become one of the most important events of this year, but unfortunately, the developers did not manage to avoid problems at the launch. In this article, we have analyzed in detail all the problems that arise with and tried to find ways to solve them.
By the way, in fact, everything could be much worse, because "Andromeda" is the first game in the series, created on a new engine. We are talking about Frostbite, created by the bright minds of the guys from the DICE team, which at the end of last year very pleased the fans of network shooters with the release.
As always, before proceeding to troubleshoot the game, you first need to make sure that your computer is fully travel-ready. This time it will be very distant and dangerous - after all, not every year a trip to a neighboring galaxy is issued, which means that you cannot do without appropriate preparation!

Files, drivers and libraries
Each major release does not go unnoticed by the two largest manufacturers of graphics accelerators - Nvidia and AMD. And even more so, there is no such situation that a new Mass Effect has been released, and there is no specialized driver. Therefore, before sailing off to the black oceans of Andromeda, it is worth updating:
A prerequisite for the successful functioning of any game is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to download quickly and easily latest versions drivers and install them with one click:
- upload Driver Updater and run the program;
- perform a system scan (it usually takes no more than five minutes);
- update outdated drivers with one click.

Mass Effect: Andromeda won't launch. Solution
Oops! It looks like something went wrong: the engine didn't start, or maybe somewhere the brake fluid was spilled. There are two reasons why Mass Effect: Andromeda may not start. Let's consider them in order.
First, the game will not start if at least 42% of the distribution is not loaded. The fact is that the project was released with support for the Ready to Play system, which allows you to play right at boot time. In this case, you still have to wait until the minimum required amount of data is downloaded.
Secondly, your antivirus might mistake one of the game's executable files for malware. The false positive occurs due to the ActivationUI.exe file located in the Core folder.
The file is 100% safe and is responsible for connecting the game interface. If the game won't launch, try adding ActivationUI.exe to the exceptions list. By default, the file can be found in the following path: C: Program Files (x86) Origin GamesMass Effect AndromedacoreActivationUI.exe
Mass Effect: Andromeda is not available on Origin, the Play button is not working. Solution
This problem is not so much a problem for the game itself as for the Origin launcher, through which almost all games published by Electronic Arts are delivered. Even if the game is loaded and installed at 100%, the "Play" button in the library may remain grayed out, that is, you cannot click on it and, accordingly, start the game.
There are two ways to solve it. The first one is simple and quick, but it doesn't help everyone. It consists in disconnecting the Internet cable, turning off Origin, and then reconnecting the cable and turning on Origin.
The second method is longer, but it helps everyone: you need to uninstall Origin, and then reinstall it by downloading the installation file from the official website.
Black screen in Mass Effect: Andromeda when launching or maximizing a window. Solution
It can occur when the game starts, and also when the user minimizes the game window and then maximizes it. In this case, the process of the game is displayed in the "Task Manager", but the game itself does not start.
Before the first patch came out, this problem could have been avoided by enabling the borderless window mode in the game settings. It also helped to remove the Corsair Utility Engine, which conflicts with Mass Effect: Andromeda.
At the moment, the developers already support the Corsair Utility Engine, so you need to download the game update in order not to experience problems launching the game.
Mass Effect: Andromeda has a "DirectX function ..." error. Solution
This is a typical "engine crash" of the game, which means it is associated with Frostbite - the platform on which the game is created. Such bugs periodically caused inconvenience to Battefield 1 players, but were later fixed by patches.
The "DirectX function ..." error occurs due to a minor video memory leak in the game. That is why the game can crash both on old video cards and on new ones, especially if the user loads the system with additional applications.
To reduce the likelihood of this error occurring, it is worth limiting the consumption of system resources. To do this, you can close the browser, turn off heavy programs like Photoshop, which reserve video memory and RAM for their needs.
Mass Effect: Andromeda crashes to the desktop in multiplayer. Solution
A very annoying problem that comes up when trying to play multiplayer games with a friend. At a random moment, the game can crash without any errors or notifications. Moreover, if you play with automatic selection, then there are no flights.
This is probably a bug that causes the game to crash when the connection is unstable. Most games have a certain period of waiting for packets to arrive, and only after the "timeout" comes out - disconnection occurs.
On release, Mass Effect: Andromeda does not always work out such moments correctly, which is why periodic crashes occur. It remains to wait for patches.
As a temporary solution, you can try to switch roles: let another player with a more stable Internet create a lobby.
Also, it will not be superfluous to check the availability of the ports that are used by the game. Mass Effect: Andromeda connects on the following TCP ports: 443, 17503, 17504, 10000-19999, 42210, 42130, 42230. And here is the list of UDP ports: 3659, 10000-19999. If they are blocked in the router settings, then online game may be unstable or not work at all.
In Mass Effect: Andromeda, the character freezes. The main character does not respond to commands. Solution
Locations in the new game from BioWare have become much larger than in, but along with this, new problems have appeared. Sometimes the character can seem to "get stuck" in some places, which makes it impossible to control him.
The developers are aware of this problem and will try to cleanse the Mass Effect: Andromeda game world from such faulty places.
But if you have fallen into such a peculiar trap, then try to use fast travel. To do this, open the location map (key "M" on the keyboard), find the forward base icon (icon with a capsule) and click on it with the left mouse button. Then Ryder will move to this place and become controllable again.
If there are no "open" capsules at the location yet, then loading the last automatic save will be a salvation.
Mass Effect: Andromeda crashes. Low FPS. Solution
Despite the presence of some technical problems, the optimization of the game is performed at a decent level, therefore, in the overwhelming majority of cases, low performance may be due to the fact that many resource-intensive processes are running in the system.
Even a powerful computer that fully meets the system requirements can sometimes "drop" the frame rate, if operating system in parallel, a browser with a large number of windows, Skype with many active chats and a raised conference with video communication are working.
To improve the performance of the game, you should try to disable programs that are not needed for the game, and also make sure that you have at least 10 gigabytes of free space on your hard drive.
If the computer has not been "cleaned" of unnecessary files for a long time, then you should use the CCleaner utility. It is free, and allows you to quickly clean the system from temporary files and delete irrelevant registry entries.
In Mass Effect: Andromeda, the picture on the HDR monitor is distorted. Solution
It's a shame when an expensive 4K monitor with HDR wide color gamut causes problems in a new game. Unfortunately, this is the case with Mass Effect: Andromeda.
The developers did not manage to establish stable operation of the game with the HDR mode enabled. Sometimes it works fine, and sometimes it can cause graphic glitches and distortion on the monitor.
Soon, the developers are going to release a fix that will still allow you to play Mass Effect: Andromeda with HDR, but for now it is better to disable this option. Well, or, as a last resort, you can try to minimize and expand the game when this problem occurs, it helps many.
Mass Effect: Andromeda throws a missing DLL file error. Solution
As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLL libraries occur when the game starts, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, not finding them, crash in the most insolent way.
To fix this error, you need to find the DLL you need and install it on your system. The easiest way to do this is with a program that scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.
If your problem turned out to be more specific, or the method described in this article did not help, then you can ask other users in our section "". They will help you promptly!
Thank you for your attention!
