    Hi Everybody

    I have a huge troubles with mass effect2.
    I`ve instaled first time the game and everything was just fine,but after 30 minutes play I`ve decided to update the video drivers,Direct X and Nvidia Psyx :confused:
    After that "smart" operation now the game crashes everytime on first window.
    I know thah my hardware is on the edge,but the game run first time without problem
    I`ve try System restore,reinstaling the game,instaling some fix,but no result.
    If somebody can give me advice?
    Thanks a lot!!

    You probably should not have tried to install Nvidia Physx on a machine with an ATI card, or at least not such a low end one assuming you found some specifically modified drivers to do it.

    Though I'm skeptical that you even got it playable for the first 30 minutes with those specs. What graphics settings did you use?

    Also, what version of the drivers did you download when you updated them?

    PhysX is an sdk that has to be installed regardless of hardware. As far as I know Mass Effect doesn't use PhysX hardware acceleration, only software like the vast majority of PhysX titles.

    Try reinstalling the game altogether. Chances are the game configured itself to work with your system before you modified it, so reinstalling the game will "update" the game. Alternatively, you can use System Restore.
