Found a fix. DLC CTD Fix for Origin Seems like all the stuff in the thread was for Steam. Did the thing it said in this link and it's working again.
@EgoMania; I can appreciate your point, but I can also appreciate that neither BioWare nor EA is going to spend resources to fix what is a "workaround-able" bug, that affects a tiny minority of players, in an eight-year-old game.
Not. Going. To. Happen.
And I'd rather that they devote the resources to making Anthem a fantastic Single-Player experience anyway. :eahigh_file:

I don't actually expect them to fix it but I don't actually find this workaround acceptable either since it actually means cutting scenes from the game to be able to make it work.
It's something they should've fixed years ago already but don't mistake my grievance for an expectation. I've lowered my expectations for BioWare quite a bit in the last 4 years or so.
As far as Anthem is concerned, I'm not ready to share your optimism. We'll see with E3 what comes out but EA just told their investors this week that they will add live services later after the release. So that tells me that they'll sell the game without mtx * but add it later. This is what they learned from BF2...not to become more player friendly but first sell the game without mtx as if it's all about the players and then once people bought it slap the mtx on it.
I mean the only reason they would tell investors this is because it relates to making money and so these live services are all about that clearly.
Of course I get they're not going to fix old games but my problems is that BioWare's older games are the ones I still play and the new ones not anymore. If I had faith in them to make a great BioWare game gain and EA wouldn't stick their greedy fingers in the business model, I would also be excited. But we see that EA is already talking about monetizing the game, just not on release so it won't hurt their initial box sales. As far as BioWare themselves, well, we'll see what E3 brings.
But it's been some years since a BioWare game came out that I really really enjoyed and EA I trust just about as far as I can throw them especially now it's become clear they are going to add mtx to the game.
You don't have to cut movie scenes for it tow work. The crash happens when the loading screen comes up when leaving the ship. What you do is you get onto the sb's ship, do what you're trying to do, save, exit the game, do the workaround, then when you're back on the Normandy, exit the game, remove it, and boom. No missed cutscenes.

I get the crash towards the end of the scene where you discuss destroying that box you got for her. There is a cutscene after that that ends with you being back on the ship. That one you have to miss.
And yes then I can close the game and start it up via the normal way again, but really, there is no other game where I have to do something bizarre like this to play it through. It also happens on other DLCs by the way so I have to do this multiple times each time and I just think it's something that they should've fixed years ago.
Not holding my breath here, but I just think it's pretty poor especially since they still like to charge you pretty good for the DLC.
