Tried uninstalling Windows, Wiping the hard drive and reinstalling, Nadda. Tried updating Mass Effect to 1.02, Nadda. Tried rolling back the video drivers to the earliest usable with my card ala Catalyst 10.3, Nadda. Tried running both the config util and the game in compatibility mode as administrator, Nadda. Tried running both the config util and the game as administrator, Nadda. Tried compatibility mode in both the config util and the game itself, Nadda. I don't get past the swamp with the floationg gas thingies.Ĭouple that with a 'Mass Effect Configuration Utility has stopped responding' EVERY TIME I TRY TO RUN IT and Mass Effect 1 is COMPLETELY unplayable for me.

I'm running a Sapphire Radeon 5870 in Windows 7 and I get the General Protection Fault error as well.Specifically, I get it in the first mission, On Eden Prime, At the start, As soon as I sprint for more than about 3-5 seconds.

This is NOT, I REPEAT, NOT an Nvidia thing. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to set y'all straight.
