crashing at elevator on Virmire

hi, sorry to revive an ancient post. I just made an account here to thank you. Going into the elevator with no weapons drawn worked!

@wurzelstilzkin Thanks for the post. As you say it's an old one, but we have no problem with "necro" posts as long as they add something helpful. 

Cheers!

I know this topic is quite old, but just in case. Maybe someone is still playing and gets the same bug, as did i.

In order to fix it i had to save and reload the game after defeating the enemies in the elevator (The Elevator door may take a moment to open again).

I had this issue until I went into the elevator without my weopons drawn. wierd but now I'm past the elevator! Give that a try.

Hi I'd like to give this a bump if I could please, even possibly moved to the Mass Effect forum, I've had the exact same issue.

Is it possible to repair the game via disc?  Or if a total wipe needed?  Won't I lose my DLC if I do that?

If you installed from Origin try to repair your install by right-clicking on the icon in Origin and choosing "Repair Install". If not de-install your game and re-install it. (Don't forget to make a save copy of your game save.)

The error message suggests that something with a world geometry file went wrong and the fact that the game crashes on the elevator makes me think that the installation of that file / geometry component went wrong and got corrupted.
