TIER 7

Okay, so after having read through the forums and tried all the possible fixes, I have hit my wits' end on this. Everyone seems to be having trouble with the game not being found. I have the opposite issue. The game just flat out crashes. When I look at the trainer, it says "Game Found. Trainer Activated!".
I have tried all fixes and nothing keeps it crashing. Running without the trainer is fine. No issues, no crashing. Load it up, and the game instantly drops. Since the page is still tagged as "Active", and this is a long standing issue that many have had and many still can't remedy, can we expect a new trainer? This series is the original reason I paid for my subscription to this site and even though time has passed, it remains a pretty big thing.
For reference, I am running Windows 7, I open everything as admin, and am on the Trilogy version (being that I can't find the old disc to try to start fresh).
Teamwork makes the world go 'round. A wise man once said, "We all go home or nobody goes home." Another spoke it as, "One band, one sound."

Note the trainers wasent made for Origin. If you are wanting a trainer for it you can put in a request for the origin version.
I sugest you look for patches to change it to a steam version. If no trainers for the trilogy version gets made.

This was posted for ME2 a page or so back: ________________________________________________________
originally posted by Spectronyx: Ok, for all those of you who don't understand what the renaming fix process is, allow me to give you a step-by-step.
Go to your Binaries folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries
In said folder you have 4 file types that you will need. First are the MassEffect2.exe and MassEffect2.par files. Delete both of these.
Next rename your ME2Game.exe and .par files to MassEffect2.exe and MassEffect2.par.
Run your new MassEffect2.exe as admin and presto! It works with the trainer.
Essentially you are replacing the MassEffect2 game files with the ME2Game files.
Also, for future reference, if you are having trouble with your game starting, delete the MassEffect2.exe file, and your MassEffect2Config.exe file. Go to your origin ME2 game and repair/install a fresh game. (This will only re-download those game files that you are missing ie. MassEffect2.exe, ME2Game.exe and MassEffect2Config.exe). Simply redo the whole renaming process and you're good to go once again. It's a real shame we need to go through all that just to get a work-around to run the game thanks to Origin's laziness. ________________________________
Try it. Others have said it works ok for them. For the record, the Steam trainer still works just fine for Steam game. If nothing else works, wait for another big Steam sale. Great game, great series.
BTW, ME3 trainer worked for me for Origin game. Toki said Steam trainer still worked for Steam ME1.
Keep your Fighting clean and your Sex dirty.

It used to be that we could spend points to request trainers. Can we do this for ME2 Trilogy?

The Origin Cloud eventually replaces the changed file if it detects it during repair or adding new content. All the DLC is Origin now so a trainer request is probably the best course of action. Also the trilogy keeps all 3 games playable. ME1 requires compatibility setting of win7 but it runs fine. The only problems I have found with ME1 is the rendering bug in Noveria and Ilos missions which requires a console hack. My rig is an 8 core with win7 64 bit ultimate. Everything works but the STEAM trainer.

I got so tired of Origin mucking with my ME2 game I deleted it entirely, then re-downloaded the game from the original retail disk and am now happily playing, old school.
