Introduction Mass Effect 3 Steam
Hi everyone!
I gonna share the really simple solution how to play Mass Effect 3 Steam. But I apologize for my wild English in the first place. The English isn’t my native language. However, if you have some questions feel free to ask me. I’ll try to help or fix my text.
Also I must say I know my guide about third part of the game mostly. But here – on the Steam – there is the other guides about Mass Effect 3 Steam, too. Also all parts of the game are connected. And I believe there are many people who have Mass Effect 1 on Steam. And these people want to play Mass Effect 3 Steam. I believe I could help.
In the meantime I wrote the one guide about in Russian. But my that new guide isn’t a translation to English. I speak about the same subject. But I use the other words and I mean slightly shades.
Also I have to thank my friend called Deadpooh!?. He is the man that taught me playing Origin games on Steam.

But is so boring.
But as I said there is the simple solution. I guess you have Origin account with Mass Effect 3 of course. Now you can to attach it.
You need just open your Steam menu: Games -> Add a Non-Steam game to my library. Also you can use the option Add a game in left low corner. Then you must choice Origin itself. Not Mass Effect 3 Steam! If you add ME3 you can to play doubtless. But you can’t do screenshots. So, you know what you do.

If you do it you see a wonder. You can press famous F12 and Tab+Shift. It’s working!

You need looking to right low corner of your screen. You’ll find the Origin insignia, click it by right button of your mouse and choice Close.
And you see newly screenshots you created on the game session. So you can create all screenshot you want, write a description, mark it as spoilers and download them to your Steam Cloud.
Your screenshots would lay within Steam folders on your computer as usual.
If you didn’t close Origin after your game session maybe it would ok. Most likely. But be careful, if it could break your computer in some unlucky orbital cycle.
