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 Omeg...

@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 🙂

There is no 64bit version of ME3.

Do you use any mods?

Try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME32 > Repair)

The problem could also be the save game, if the repair don't works, try a save game that is older then the one you are using now.

If that don't works, please report back.

Thanks for the reply. I don't use any mods, just what I download from Origin. I tried both the file repair and loading an old save, but it still crashed. I may just do some other missions before trying again just in case there's some kind of conflict with having just left Dr. Bryson's Lab from the beginning of Leviathan DLC

I don't think that there is any conflict with the Leviathan DLC.

A game crashing on the same location every time is most often a sign for a problem with the game files.

You could try to reinstall the DLC. For that delete the "DLC_EXP_Pack002" folder out of the ">dive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\DLC" folder and download Omega again.

If that don't works, create a DxDiag, (Text file) also go to your Reliability monitor (Press the windows key and "R" at the same time and copy or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in > ENTER and look if it has ME32 entries.

If yes double click at the last one, copy it to the clipboard, (Bottom left corner) save it to a text file and load it up together with the DxDiag. You can do that with the "choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

    Not much of a fix, but persistence is rewarded..
    
    I've had two similar occurences; that is, crashing on loading screen. First time when first going to Mars, ctd on loading screen. The second time when initiating Omega DLC, when coming out of the sky car, ctd on the next loading screen.
    
    "Fix" seems to be, load an earlier hard-save or do something else for a while and try again.
    
    Repairing files or re-downloading DLC did not do anything, but for me Mars loaded with earlier save (actually restarted the entire game, it's pretty much right after "tutorial" bit). Omega I just did stuff and returned to it (atleast Leviathan and Priority: Thessia + various sidequests scanning) and it worked.
    
    Weird.
