I was never able to install Mass Effect 2 as the installer would give an error in the middle of installation and just quit, so I used Bioware's instructions for a manual install (Instructions for MAss Effect 1 but I used them with success for ME2 as well) So I have completed the game and everything was fine, until today when I tried to install the 1.01 patch for ME2. The update tells me that it can't find my installation and I can't unpack it manually. My guess is that the update needs some Registry entries in Regedit to find the game installation as those entries was never made due to the manual install. So please, if you can help me unpacking the update manually or provide me with the proper Entries I will really appreciate it. Thx in Advance EDIT: NVM, Solved it It seems that renaming MassEffect2.exe to UT3.exe prevents the patch from updating

ATI got much better since AMD owns it, before that all cards where crap. In the past i used a Radeon 9800XT (worste card i ever used) and it lagged in many games because it couldnt handle explosions, cloak etc. After that i decided to stick with Nvidia for a 2 years because i used those cards before i got the 9800XT from ATI. Back in June 2008 a person put his Asus Radeon 4870 512 MB card on the internet because he wanted the newest Nvidia Card GTX 260. I called him and said whats wrong with it ? he said nothing...i used it 4 days but nvidia came with a new card and wanted that one, i said what is the price and he said €140 euros (and in that time the card whas €240) i said ok i come and pick it up.

So far i had never 1 single problem with this card when it comes to explosions, cloak, shaders, shadows or game support (like it whas in the past). I am so happy with this card that i don't even think about a new card (and no i dont miss nvidia because i also had bad cards from them in the past.

My point is everyone puts a finger against ATI but ATI has better and faster cards then NVIDIA. They dominate the market since 2008 and NVIDIA doesnt come with a solution to that.

Does NVIDIA already have a Directx 11 card ? no

Also NVIDIA cards eat to much watt/power
