Mass Effect Bioengine Initiation
Thats one of the reasons I rolled back my nvidia gfx drivers to version 17x.xx something in windows xp. Since the game doesn't seem to like newer versions of the drivers. Also those drivers seems to work the best with another game called Risen, newer ones would stutter kinda.Try moving out or deleting the file called BIOEngine.ini (Documents and SettingsUserMy DocumentsBioWareMass EffectConfig directory in Windows XP, or UsersUserDocumentsBioWareMass EffectConfig in Windows Vista.) so the game re-creates it, and see if it stops the gpf error. Could be worth a try if you've updated the drivers. Also use the repair option in MEconfig utility and click delete local shader cache.Quote from link above.Mass Effect holds all of its main settings in a range of.ini (initialization) files found under your Documents and SettingsUserMy DocumentsBioWareMass EffectConfig directory in Windows XP, or UsersUserDocumentsBioWareMass EffectConfig in Windows Vista.
These.ini files can be viewed and edited using a text editor like Windows Notepad, but I recommend backing them up before changing any settings. If something goes wrong and you want to return these files to their defaults, simply delete them and they'll be recreated using the original templates (found under Program FilesMass EffectEngineConfig) the next time you start the game. For this reason, don't ever edit or delete the Base.ini files or any other.ini files found under the game's directories; make sure to only edit those under the user directory specified further above.Edited by Herethos, 16 February 2010 - 09:02 PM.

Mass Effect Cora
BiowareIt's safe to say at this point that as a franchise, Mass Effect is on life support. Its third instalment had one of the most roundly-despised endings in the history of gaming, and even though we gave Bioware the benefit of the doubt when 'resurrecting' the canon for Mass Effect Andromeda, scores of bugs, bad storylines and boring questlines quickly put that to bed.Still, the question of, 'Does the public want more Mass Effect?' Was answered with a resounding 'Actually, yes', as ME:A still sold very well, various platform and gaming charts for weeks post-launch. Naturally, these statistics don't take into account the amount of copies then traded back in after the reality of Andromeda's naff-ness settled in, but it's safe to say that the love we all feel for the trilogy can still be mined for profit.To that end, what would be known as 'Mass Effect 5' could go either way. Andromeda is a totally self-contained story - save for a post-credits scene tagging on another powerful figure above the main villain - though considering the literal point-and-laugh reception the game received, it might be another five years before another instalment drops.If/when it does, Bioware need - even more than they did post-ME 3 - to nail every aspect of ME5's creation from top to bottom, starting with.
