============================================
Mass Effect 3 poor performance
If you have a laptop, then this is a common problem, more often if you have graphics NvidiaAlso make sure the game is using the GPU and not the integrated one.
Open nvidia control panel
Under '3d settings' select 'manage 3d settings'
Click on the ‘program settings’ tab
Find mass effect in the list and change it to ‘high performance nvidia processor’. Also, the problem can sometimes be solved by disabling Origin in the game. By activating anti-leasing in Mass Effect 3 this will significantly affect performance. However, if you enable the function and also enable it in the control panel of your graphics card, the frame rate may stabilize.
============================================
The problem can be solved this way, it comes from Mass Effect 2.

Where to download the crack for Mass Effect 3?
There is no localization yet (only the subtitles have been translated), so wait until it comes out - I'll let you know.
Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so much errors. Often, problems begin even before the start of the game, when it is not installed, loaded or even downloaded. Yes, and the computer itself sometimes freaks out, and then in Mass Effect 3: Citadel, instead of a picture, a black screen, the controls do not work, you cannot hear the sound or something else.
What to do first
- Download and run the world famous CCleaner (download by direct link) is a program that cleans your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
- Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater (download by direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
- Install Advanced System Optimizer (download via direct link) and enable game mode in it, which will terminate useless background processes during the launch of games and increase the performance in the game.
The second thing to do if you have any problems with Mass Effect 3: Citadel is to check the system requirements. In an amicable way, you need to do this even before buying, so as not to regret the money spent.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel minimum system requirements:
Windows XP, Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 Gb RAM, 15 Gb HDD, nVidia GeForce 7900 Video memory: 256 Mb
Every gamer should at least understand a little about the components, know why a video card, processor and other things in the system unit are needed.
Files, drivers and libraries
Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.
It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphics cards are made by only two major companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product is spinning coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:
A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Mass Effect 3: Citadel is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:
If Mass Effect 3: Citadel does not start, we recommend that you try to disable your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, as well as check the system requirements again, and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel has a black screen, a white screen, a color screen. Decision
Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.
First, they are often associated with the use of two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Mass Effect 3: Citadel can be launched for the first time on the built-in one, and you won't see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.
Secondly, color screens are in case of problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for a variety of reasons. For example, Mass Effect 3: Citadel cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also, a black / white screen may appear when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel crashes. At a certain or random moment. Decision
You play to yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop in front of you without any hint of a game. Why it happens? To solve the problem, it is worth trying to figure out what kind of problem the problem is.
If the crash occurs at a random moment in time without any regularity, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In this case, fixing something is very difficult, and the best thing is to just put Mass Effect 3: Citadel aside and wait for the patch.
However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a failure.
However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a failure. Alternatively, you can download the Mass Effect 3: Citadel save game and bypass the departure location.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel freezes. The picture freezes. Decision
The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to a developer's error when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.
So if the picture in Mass Effect 3: Citadel freezes, then use programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has already exhausted its working resource a long time ago, or is the processor heating to dangerous temperatures?
The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the graphics card and processors is in MSI Afterburner. You can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Mass Effect 3: Citadel picture if you wish.
What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and graphics cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. Processors have a little lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the state of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.
If the video card is warming up, then you should use the driver or the official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check if the operating temperature drops.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel crashes. Low FPS. Frame rate drawdowns. Decision
With lags and low frame rates in Mass Effect 3: Citadel, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before you reduce everything in a row, you should find out exactly how these or those settings affect performance.
Screen resolution... In short, this is the number of points from which the picture of the game is formed. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so the screen resolution should be reduced only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.
Texture quality... Typically, this parameter determines the resolution of the texture files. The texture quality should be reduced if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if a very old hard disk is used with a spindle speed lower than 7200.
Model quality (sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power of the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), Which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.
Shadows... They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are rendered in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full-fledged rendering and add pre-render shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means that they load memory, and not the core of the video card.
Often, developers add additional settings related to shadows:
- Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by the object will be. If there are dynamic shadows in the game, it loads the video card core, and if a previously created render is used, it "eats" the video memory.
- Soft Shadows - smoothing out unevenness on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given together with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.
Smoothing... It allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects by using a special algorithm, the essence of which usually boils down to generating several images at once and matching them, calculating the "smoothest" picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in the level of impact on the performance of Mass Effect 3: Citadel.
For example, MSAA works "head-on", creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms such as FXAA and TAA act a little differently, achieving a smoother image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. As a result, they do not degrade performance as much.
Lighting... As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use the resources of the video card, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on "green" ones. HDAO, on the other hand, is optimized for AMD graphics cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in Mass Effect 3: Citadel it is worth switching it.
What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to be the most stressful, so it's best to start with these.
Often, gamers themselves have to deal with the optimization of Mass Effect 3: Citadel. For almost all major releases, there are various relevant forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.
One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made especially for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer will do this on its own, and will also analyze your computer to identify how you can improve performance in applications and games.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel lags. Big game delay. Decision
Many people confuse "brakes" with "lags", but these problems have completely different reasons. Mass Effect 3: Citadel slows down when the frame rate at which the picture is displayed on the monitor drops, and lags when the latency when accessing the server or any other host is too high.
That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: poor network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low speed of the Internet connection.
However, the latter happens less often. In online games, communication between the client and the server takes place through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.
There is no sound in Mass Effect 3: Citadel. I can not hear anything. Decision
Mass Effect 3: Citadel works, but for some reason it doesn't sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play this way, but it's still better to figure out what's the matter.
First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.
If there is no sound at all, then the matter is clearly in the computer setup. Perhaps the sound card drivers are installed incorrectly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our beloved Windows OS.
Controls not working in Mass Effect 3: Citadel. Mass Effect 3: Citadel cannot see mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. Decision
How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are irrelevant here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.
Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when a new device is connected, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice, and gamepads are not compatible with them.
Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all the functions of a particular device.
If you don't want to look for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater ... It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you just need to wait for the scan results and load the necessary drivers in the program interface.
It is not uncommon for the brakes in Mass Effect 3: Citadel to be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself to be the best and has received the approval of millions of users around the world.
ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small business, is able to protect a computer running Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP against any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats ... New users receive a 30-day free trial.
Nod32 is an anti-virus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. On the developer's site, versions of antivirus programs are available for both PCs and mobile devices, a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel downloaded from torrent does not work. Decision
If the distribution kit of the game was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of work. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the course of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games that are often used to verify licenses.Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files are changed in them. For example, pirates modify an EXE file to bypass protection. At the same time, no one knows what else they are doing with it. Maybe they are embedding self-executing software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the welfare of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.
In addition, the use of pirated versions is, according to our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own funds in the hope that their creation would pay off. And every work must be paid.
Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using some means, you should immediately remove the "pirate", clean your computer with antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only save you from questionable software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel gives a missing DLL error. Decision
As a rule, problems associated with missing DLLs occur when starting Mass Effect 3: Citadel, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, not finding them, crash in the most impudent 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 the program DLL-fixer which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.

2. Install additional gaming software. It is it that allows you to run games on computers and prevent various kinds of startup errors from appearing.
3. Run the game as administrator.
If you have changed any options in the driver settings of your video card, it is better to return everything to its original state.
4. Lower your graphics settings in Mass Effect 3 and try running the game in windowed mode.
5. If you have Mass Effect 3 on Steam, then you should check the game cache for integrity. This can be done in the properties of the game in your library of games, just find the desired tab.
6. If you want to play a pirated copy of Mass Effect 3, then turn off your antivirus software before installing and running. On Windows 8.1, the game file can easily be quarantined by the OS's built-in defender.
7. Before starting, turn off all unnecessary programs and applications from the tray.
The items we've just listed will help you solve Mass Effect 3 freezes, crashes, crashes. You will be able to get rid of the errors that prevent Mass Effect 3 from running. Hopefully you have succeeded and you can finally play Mass Effect 3 normally.
A series of role-playing computer games Mass Effect was released in three full parts. At the moment, a new game in this series is being prepared for release, which will mark the restart of the space saga. Therefore, this moment is an excellent reason to go through the original trilogy again and remember all the events of the virtual universe. For those who have problems with the game, this article has been written. Find out below why Mass Effect won't launch and how to fix it.
System requirements
To get started, check the configuration of your personal computer with the minimum and recommended requirements that were drawn up by the developers.
So, to run the game on the minimum graphics quality settings, you will need approximately the following system: at least a 2-core Intel or AMD processor with a frequency of 2.4 GHz or higher, 2 GB of RAM, a video card with 512 MB of memory on board and 12 GB for installation on a hard drive. Since the game has been released for a long time, it supports the Windows XP and Vista operating systems. Therefore, Mass Effect does not start on Windows 7. Read more about how to solve this problem below.
To play at the maximum graphics quality settings, you must have a personal computer configuration not lower than the following: 2-core Intel or AMD processor with a frequency of 2.5 GHz for each core or more, 3 GB of RAM and 12 GB of free hard disk space ...
If your computer doesn't meet even the minimum requirements, Mass Effect won't launch. If the PC fits the description, and the game still does not work, then go to the next item.
Drivers
First of all, update the driver for the video card to the current version. Probably, the previous time the software was installed incorrectly. All current drivers with the necessary set of programs can be found on the websites of the manufacturers of video cards "Nvidia" or AMD.
Before installing, be sure to uninstall the old driver, and then start all new. Then you can avoid hardware conflicts.
Additional software
Next, you need to install a package of additional programs that are required for almost all computer games. Even if the utilities are already installed on the PC, they should be updated to newer versions. These programs include: DirectX, Net.Framework, Microsoft C ++. Also, the game may require additional programs. Look for them on the official website of the developers.
In the case of software, we do everything in the same way as with drivers: we delete old versions and install new ones. If Mass Effect does not start after that, then go to the next solution to the problem.
What else can you do?
If you are using Windows 7 or later, you may experience compatibility issues. To fix them, go to the properties of the shortcut for the Mass Effect game and go to the Compatibility tab. Select Windows XP or Vista OS and try to start the game again. Also set the application to mode This will help to get rid of endless loading at the beginning or black screen (this problem is displayed differently for everyone).
License or "pirate"?
If you are using a licensed version of the game from the Steam store, you can easily check the integrity of the game files for damage. To do this, go to the game properties and click the "Check cache" button. The program will automatically check all files and download damaged or missing files again.
The pirated version is more complicated. First, try putting another crack on the game. If this does not help, then download the repack from other collectors, since pirated versions do not differ in stable operation on all personal computers.
All of the above reasons and solutions may also apply to subsequent games in the series. If Mass Effect 3 does not start on your computer, then you can solve the problem in any way, except (since the third part was released for new operating systems).
80% of players were dissatisfied with the end of the mass effect series ... and 15,000 people were interviewed ... 3 days after the game was released :) It was a stone in the direction of nerd gamers. For those who did not manage to spend a couple of sleepless nights with a toy due to lags - I publish this post.
To avoid uninteresting questions. We look. If the advice in the article does not help, contact the computer help.
1 # Mass Effect 3 endless installation
After installing the game, the ready to install window constantly pops up. Fixim:
1) Click on the keyboard Win + R\u003e Regedit\u003e Enter
2) In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Wow 6432Node \\ EA Games \\ Mass Effect 3, look for a string parameter with the value: C: \\ Program Files \\ Origin Games \\ Mass Effect 3 \\ GDFBinary_en_US.dll.
3) Add a string parameter with the name: Install Dir and with the value C: \\ Program Files \\ Origin Games \\ Mass Effect 3. The path may be different if the game is installed in a different folder.
As a result, the registry branch will look like this:
ab (Default) REG_SZ (not installed)
ab GDFBinary REG_SZ C: \\ Program Files \\ Origin Games \\ Mass Effect 3 \\ GDFBinary_en_US.dll
ab Install Dir REG_SZ C: \\ Program Files \\ Origin Games \\ Mass Effect 3
4) Reboot your computer
