QUOTE='ThePCGamer' How dumb of you guys to assume he hacked it. Hack wouldnt make 1 part of the game just stop working. So drop the accusations. (if you're thinking of Assasins creed, that was an early leak which caused the problems, not a hack) warmaster670 drop the accusations?
Product: Mass Effect Andromeda Platform: PC What edition do you have? Standard Edition Physical Disc or Digital version? Digital Based Install Summarize your bug I can't use the galaxy map. I can go into the map, move around, zoom in, exit, but when i highlight over a system, i can't click on it to and nothing happens when the cursor is.
Despite the fact hes having the exact same problem thats known to happen with teh crack that doesnt work properly? How dumb are you to assume a crack couldnt screw a game up. Exactly, plus this is one of the problems people have been having with the pirated copies, another is not being able to save most of the time. Thats what people get for not buying it.
QUOTE='Keypo' I dunno what hack your talking about but can that fix it? I havent been able to find anyone else with this problem. Where can i get more info on this? JohnnyRock Now he's playing dumb!!!:lol: I found the save issue that i already fixed, which has nothing to do with a hack, has to do with bad programming. Also it seems alot of people are havig the same issue as me, they all seem to have nvidia cards. QUOTE='JohnnyRock'QUOTE='Keypo' I dunno what hack your talking about but can that fix it?

Lol wtf 'Hacking a game' means neways? It's not hacking.
It's called Cracking. Using Cracks may not get you banned. Discussing about them may give you problems. What you do in your personal life is noone's buisness. It's completely Ok to use No DVD cracks to play your games, as long as you're using a legit game. If you bought the game i mean. Sometimes inserting your DVD really becomes a headache.
& obviously some of us definitely use No DVD Cracks even for our original games. They just don't talk about it. As we're not allowed. If you used a Crack. We caught you:P if not. The problem you're having may be fixed after a patch may be. Or search for other users who are having similar problems.
I'd try to help if i had this game myself. But it's an RPG. I don't like em. Lol wtf 'Hacking a game' means neways? It's not hacking. It's called Cracking. Using Cracks may not get you banned.

Despite the fact hes having the exact same problem thats known to happen with teh crack that doesnt work properly? How dumb are you to assume a crack couldnt screw a game up. All a crack does, FYI, is let you play the game without DRM. It doesnt change any of the game files, in case you didnt know, except for the.exe. So the map problem is an issue with the GAME, not some crack.
Just read the post above mine and visit Bioware forums please before you talk about 'problems known with the crack'. QUOTE='warmaster670'QUOTE='ThePCGamer' How dumb of you guys to assume he hacked it.

It was tested and checked. Theres a 40 page discussion going on in 1 of the warez sites which I wll not menthon here. On the Bioware's forum in was menthoned once. And btw, the crack is suppose to disable the DRM but it doesn't do it well and therefor it messes up the game. The crack doesn't work properly. Well if that's the case I'll go make myself some Humble Pie. But I'm just going on what I found out on the Mass Effect Forums with regards to this problem.
Teach me to believe everything I read! Tyrone77 The crack screws up the galaxy map, but the inability to save isn't the crack, true.
The OS expect the 'My Documents' folder to be a folder - if a user resets it to be something other than a single folder (a bad idea already for not following Windows' white paper guidelines, hah), the game doesn't know what to do. It does ask you in the config to set the FOLDER where your 'my documents' is though, so you're still ignoring the game's warning first.:P.

Just read the post above mine and visit Bioware forums please before you talk about 'problems known with the crack' well first thing, the a crack generally does change the exe file or someother file.
Also, it could be that the online activation along with activating the game also downloads a part of code needed to run the galaxy map, so on removing the activation by using a crack the code is not downloaded and you get this error. How I hate people who don't read the whole thread:. This is what he said: the only people here talking about cracks/hacks, whatever you wanna call it, is you guys.
I think you should be banned, and I got my copy at CC for 39.99. Keypo I also have a friend that bought it and he has the same problem (BOUGHT IT) and I saw that he had an original copy.
Maybe this guy pirated it or he has the same problem as my friend but to call him a pirate without actually reading what he says, is dumb and totally unnecessary. 360 Ports always suck. Always pathetic. Sorry can't help you In my previous first message I wrote & what was wrong about that? It's deleted by a mod now. I got a warning from GS saying that's the reason for moderation was 'Disruptive Posting'.
I just said the truth. Most games that are ported from 360 have bugs & errors. I ve experienced them myself. Gow is an example of stupid programming. & Epic expected so many people to buy it. Then blame PC gaming for poor sales.
The so called Dying platform. Developers should learn to respect PC gaming & treat it atleast equal to consoles.
But Epic doesn't care. Gow arrived after 1 year of it's release on 360 & it had numerous problems, Gow2 is gonna on 360 this year.
If Halo3 ever comes to PC (if don't think it ever will cuz MS's pockets are filled with millions of $$$. So they don't really acare) it'll just be a Bad piece of programming like Halo2.
Look at Lost planet. All of em are pathetic ports. & there many more, i could give more examples but my message was incorrect. Not only 360. But almost all console's ports suck.
Develop PC games as they should be. & I don't think Mass Effect's perfect. But i haven't played it. So i won't give my own my opinion on that. Cuz it really may not be a bad port. But most games really are.
Read that mod, & do whatcha want;):o:x:evil: keep checking my profile guys. You may see me banned soon & get another idea of how drunk & evil GS's mods really are. If you are using a cracked version it is related to the crack. The savegame problem also exists in the crack but a similar problem exists in the legit version. Wouldn't be so much of a problem if they released it here in Europe at the same time. A lot of people download it when it comes out in the 'States cuz then they have it sooner, intending to buy it when it comes out in Europe but in the end never get around to do it. I never got the point of not releasing it simultaneously.
The internet is a global place. You are being teased for products that aren't available in your country. What do you do, you either download them or you have forgotten about them when they do come out. If you make it a global event, you would boost your sales tremendously.
Hmm, sounds like it could be possibly a cracked version of the game but let us not all assume that. I recall being told that I had a cracked version of a game once due to having a similar issue that the cracked versions had. I went to the official forums for the game, asking for help and everyone did the same old witch hunt as you are all currently doing. Guess what I did?
Had to take a picture of the game CD and Case next to my monitor with Cdscottie on the screen. Then all they could tell me was 'Well, it must be your hardware. Get a new computer if you want the game to work' So TC, post a picture of the game CD, Case, and your monitor with your name on it.
Then you might get some help. QUOTE='redfox5431' frankly i am against that. WE have to prove he has a pirated copy. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty.

Alright, then I suggest you go execute yourself right now because you failed to prove that you don't deserve it.:roll: I'm not too keen on witch hunts. It happened to me once, so I try to avoid them.
There are people that own the game and post on the Bioware forums about these problem. Clearly that is proof that even some legitimate customers are experiencing these problems.

Clearly that is proof that even some legitimate customers are experiencing these problems. About the galaxy screen problem, the people who owned the game and posted the problem on official forums, they later acepted they were using no cd as they don't know that they can play the game without dvd. One amusing thing about similiar thread is that it has very few replies/complain but an amazingly high view count (as only people who register the game are allowed to post in that forum).
Its entirely possible, and quite common, for people who legitimately buy games to crack it for the convenience of not having to use a CD. That would still show up the problems as though it were pirated. The.exe would differ in size and could still trigger SecuRom flags and provide these kinds of symptoms. Legit owners have not experienced these problems. I've also seen people say they've switched back to the original.exe and everything works fine after they continue their saves.
XaosII Not everybody, though - though it worked for most, a couple people on the official forum that initially used the crack have continued to have the crack's problems after they removed it. I'm 99% sure it's related to HAVING used the crack in the past - if they missed that the game wouldn't work on something basic like the galaxy map, there's no telling what else might have been missed. I tried it on another comp and ME was able to pick up that 'the game was corrupted' after I'd replaced the crack with the original.exe.
But yeah, if you're having trouble on the galaxy map, as far as the internet's concerned it's the crack. Some part of me is laughing a bit at the irony that so far it's the paying customers that are having an easy time with the copy protection, with the exception of those that tried to crack the DRM (for the wrong reasons, at that). I've laughed at so many posts on different forums about people who used the crack so they didn't need to have the disk inserted.
Dahwnpapaya yeah. Sigh, like i said, people like RobertBowen were the exceptions in that they actually paid attention and read about what was going on. The majority of others never realized that the game doesn't require the disk in drive and was never going to - it was the very first thing mentioned by Bioware in that forum post about the DRM, even before the 10-day check was removed.
