How to fix the Omega DLC for Mass Effect 3 so it doesn't crash every time?
UPDATE (Issue resolved): For my specific case, I did the first mission of the Leviathan DLC (visiting Dr. Bryson's lab for the first time), and before leaving the Citadel I tried doing the first Omega DLC mission. I personally went with the dialogue option "Our kind of guy." After Shepard exited the shuttle, the game would freeze on the loading screen and I would have to force ME3 to end in Task Manager. My issue was resolved after completing all Leviathan DLC missions and choosing the dialogue option "Some might say that about you." Not sure which fixed it, if it was both, or if the issue resolved by itself. Hope this helps anyone having the same issue. I assumed to do this because I found than many used to have issues with the Leviathan DLC freezing, so I thought it might have affected my Omega missions, which prompted me to complete the Leviathan missions. I didn't have any issues with the Leviathan missions freezing.
Original post:
I own the PC version of the game, 32 bit (not sure if 64 bit is an option). Windows 10 and I believe it's the 64 bit version. I go to Dock 42 and I'm able to get through the shuttle scene, but as soon as Shepard steps out with the batarian and the loading screen comes up, I get a message saying Mass Effect 3 has stopped working and I have to force close the game in Task Manager. I bought and downloaded the game with Origin as well as all of the extra mission DLCs. I have AMD rx480 8gb with 16gb RAM, so I know my computer can more than handle the game. I tried searching for this answer, but seemed like everyone asking got further in the mission than I can before crashing. I'd be very grateful for anyone who can give a solution, thanks!

@holger1405 Thanks again for the reply. I went ahead and continued with the Leviathan missions until I completed them all. I tried Omega again and went with a different chat option (not sure if that did anything or not), and I avoided the freeze on the loading screen. I appreciate your suggestions 🙂
