Jester Spearmann Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 So, I just went out and purchased ME for the PC about less than a week ago, updated all my divers blah blah blah, and now whenever I try to run the game it triggers a GPF or General Protection Fault. HISTORY:G matrix 2D::swap()ADDRESS:0x10bbgf4e:not found!I click ok and the entire computer locks up needing a reboot D:Address= 0x1d4ecde5 Not Found! showed up the second time after i updated my nvidia driversif anyone knows what the hell this means please let me know as it would appear I have paid $100 for a game that doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inoue Katsu Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Rename Paul.dll in the game directory.Its a bug in the copy protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayce Iredell Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 for the 360, yes the Systems Alliance, (humans) refers to its naval and marine branches as Alliance Navy, and Alliance Marines. Mass Effect also rocks, so yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristian Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 yeah i have it but the game is not realistic. Buttraping ,whining and spamming nukes isn't part of the standard Alliance navy training in the game. So i spend like half an hour to see how i could get my buddy to bend over like a real marine should but it didn't worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Spearmann Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Ok update! I tried Inoues suggestion. F:\Program Files\Mass Effect\Binaries made a backup of the .dll file and renamed the original to Paul and it has so far worked for me. Thank you Inoue for the suggestion, I posted my solution on their forums as well. and Kristian WTF are you talking about exactly lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mith Wakowski Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 In ME the Alliance Navy isn't a bunch of retards and Kristian was comepletely taken by surprise that the marines didn't bend over like they usually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mith Wakowski Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Believe me, IRL he can talk more normal. But in Ordomode he just goes beserk. 3 words for every one he'd use in reallife xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Kuhr Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I want to see mods for the game eventually. I've already beaten it twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Spearmann Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Rei they have an addon for the 360 already. it's still in the works for the PC version, it's called 'bring down the sky' see www.masseffect.com for more information, Personally I can't wait for people to start adding mods etcetera to make things more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
