    Default Mass Effect 3 Demo Help please

    Hi,

    I downloaded Mass Effect 3 Demo through Origin on my origin account. For some reason, the game launches and crashes like 4 seconds after launching. Here is my system:

    Intel Core i7 2630QM 2.0GHz
    6 GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
    500GB HDD 7200RPM
    Nvidia GT 525M 1GB DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 3000
    15.6" WLED Screen

    My laptop is a Dell XPS L502X and I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit on it.

    Is there anything I can do to get the game to work???

    Are you sure Origin downloaded it properly?

    Try disabling the in-game Origin overlay.

    I was downloading this game on local only cap (my telkom 1gb account has 10gb local only) then it stoped downloading at 1.7GB of 2.1GB. I then changed my ADSL account to my Incredible Connect account. Origin told me to retart origin to resume downloading. It then continued downloading from 1.7GB and finished to 2.1GB.

    I tried to repair the installation, it said that my game has no problems and that its up to date. How do you disable origin overlay?

    Just go to the Origin settings and the in-game tab.

    You might need to update your nVidia drivers though not 100% sure.

    I did, and I downgraded from that driver (latest 295.73) to my older driver (285.62), started noticing lag in games that I never lag on with the new driver.

    ME3D though still works with the old driver so its chilled
