You would see the custom GUI appear, but when you try to run a Mass Effect game, it will Through Steam or Origin like you normally would.ĭo NOT try to double-click on the EXE and run it manually as this will probably not work. When it is in the correct place, just run the game The custom launcher MUST be placed in this directory it should NOT be placed anywhereĮlse or run from anywhere else. The original launcher anyway by verifying the game's integrity through Steam or Origin,īut it is still probably best to make your own backup. If you wish to do so, make a backup of your original "MassEffectLauncher.exe" beforehand,īy renaming it to "". the one that shipped with Mass Effect LE) with the custom In your "Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\Launcher" directory, replace your original Instructions are included in the launcher zip file as readme.txt (see below.)
