    Im having some major trouble running this game on my mbp 13 2011, here are the specs:

    i5 2415m
    8gb 1333mhz ram
    Corsair F120 SSD
    Windows 7 pro 64bit

    I have installed the latest intel drivers, however the game uses a DLL from the 32bit drivers, so I downloaded it, and extracted the necessary DLL, its the igdumd32.dll then I placed it at the necessary location c:/windows/system32

    now Im getting rendering errors with the HD 3000, I cant usually go for the menu (pressing esc), since it just crashes.

    Now I have saw some errors still related to that igdumd32.dll

    So any ideas? I have scourged the web for solutions, but all people say that it runs just fine.

    nope I have the digital download version from origin

    Right now Im facing the same problems with ME2, which is extremely annoying to say the least.

    I think I will reformat the windows partition and see how it goes from there
