Your PC will need plenty of free HD space, and 2GB of ram is the absolute minimum. This allows you to play as different species (Asari, Drell, Krogan, Turian, Salarian and human) for the first time, in cooperative battles against waves of increasingly challenging attackers. Mass Effect 3 has a lot to live up to, but has a fantastic platform to build upon.Īs well as concluding the saga, Mass Effect 3 also adds a multiplayer mode. The first Mass Effect took story telling and player choice to new levels in video gaming, while the second was more accessible and perfected the third person shooting action. Most players will probably stick with the Goldilocks RPG mode, which is give you the most complete experience. At the other end of the spectrum you can choose to focus on the story, with less challenging combat. The cover based combat seems even tighter than in the previous game too, and Bioware are so confident about the quality of the action that players can choose an 'Action' mode that removes all the RPG choice elements of conversations. In either case Mass Effect 2 will not run and/or stop runningĤ) If you play games that require newer versoins of PhysX then you will need to uninstall Physx and reinstall PhysX_SystemSoftware every time that you want to play Mass Effect 2, and then reinstall newer PhysX whenever you switch back to your newer games so, I recommend that you keep a copy of both PhysX_SystemSoftware and whatever newer version you need somewhere on your Hard Drive in case you need to juggle them for these reasons.Mass Effect 3 looks great, and the set pieces are really impressive. To Fully Clarify both the Problem and the Solutionġ) PhysX drivers WILL NOT negitively effect a non-NVidia card since the software itself does not focus on the Graphics cardĢ) If you do not have an nVidia Card, and you are getting the Physx update error when trying to Run Mass Effect 2 you must uninstall any version of PhysX you have (even if other games require it) and install PhysX_SystemSoftware which is found in the software folder of Disc 2 of Mass Effect 2 (or possibly online somewhere)ģ) If you try to update to or already have newer versions of PhysX, the version that is required by Mass Effect 2 will either be overwritten, or otherwise refuse to install because it detects a newer version.
