Citadel DLC - Retake Normandy Mission Failure

Whelp, everything was going really great. 

The real Shepard gets betrayed by that Brooks girl (who I actually really liked, so well done with that character because I actually feel betrayed) and gets locked away in a history vault with her squadmates. They have funny banter, the little machine gets them out.

Now it's time to go after **bleep** Shepard. I pick my squadmates, the ones left behind are all sad, and off we go with Joker.

So here's the problem: After I allocated any points left and rearrange any weapons, the window goes into loading and then I heard the 'Critcal Mission Failure' music and Joker's face pops up like he's about to say something, but then the words 'Critical Mission Failure' come up and I'm asked to reload again.

This KEEPS happening. So, I can't continue with the game. I've tried looking around for answers, but it seems all's anyone got is 'update the DLC'. -_-'

Any actuall non-obvious help would be most welcomed. I can't go on with the game. I have a feeling it's that Shepard's respawning incorrectly and falling out of the skycar. Which is... hilarious at first, but not after the seventh reload. 

Thanks in advanced.

  • I haven't seen this before. Have you tried with different squad members? Did you modify the save in any way?*

    * I ask because the only time I've had really odd things happen is when I've touched the save once too often.

    It seems to be a really rare glitch or bug or whatever.

    I did try with a different combo of squadmates, but that didn't help.

    And I haven't modified the saves in any way.

    However, I did get past it by exiting the game, preparing as I normally would (picking squadmates, allocating points, gun prep), and pressing the space bar while the mission was loading. That seemed to have triggered the scene properly.

    In case anyone else runs into this weird glitch.

    Thanks for the response, though, SD!
