Leviathan DLC crashing
I'm on the asteroid, just got done repairing the elevator with the drone, but as soon as I get to the upper floor & run out into the hallway, the game locks up. I've tried restarting the game, resta...

I've had this problem as well. I've done everything I can think of short of uninstalling the game(considering doing that now) and just starting with a new save (something I really don't want to do. Despite hundreds of hours, this is the first time I have a save spanning all three games and I really want to complete all of ME3 with all of the DLC). I've completed ME3 multiple times and this DLC multiple times with the same (and my current) computer. The only difference is I uninstalled all the mass effect games about a year ago (limited harddrive space) and have recently reinstalled them. If anyone has any other advice or assistance I would be grateful. I'm tearing my hair out.
I also have the exact same crash, which I've repeated dozens of times now without fail, on two different computers, one running Windows 7 64-bit, the other 32-bit. Both produce the same error even in windowed mode with graphics settings minimized as recommended by some. I can only conclude that this is either not a performance issue but a save-game error (where the game always crashes at that point if certain variables are true), or else possibly tied to ATI graphics hardware, which both computers are running.

Alternatively, if anyone can confirm that their setup does not have this issue, might I perhaps send someone my save file and have them progress beyond the crash point for me?
I was all set to confirm that I DO NOT have this problem on either my Win7 or Win8 machine, until I saw "ATI graphics" in your post.
Seriously?!? How old is your rig? AMD bought ATI in 2006. So, ummmm... even before the first game was released.
Not sure any "ATI" gpu should be expected to handle ME3. That you got as far as "Leviathan" is actually kinda' cool!

You don't have to be so condesending, Thandal. I'm running an Nvidia card with an intel CPU and still have this issue. I firmly believe that the file for the DLC that EA is sending out is corrupted. This issue has happened since around January 2014 for the few people that have reported it. I would wager if you, Thandal, hit the repair button for Leviathan you would encounter the same issue. This is a legitimate problem that psans hardware, as has previously been demonstrated in other threads. The fact that you want to ignore it and pretend like it isn't happening makes you look like the EA brown-noser that you are.

My Leviathan DLC is freezing up as well. I have played this DLC a few times before with no issue, however about a week ago when playing the DLC the game would not allow me to go down a ladder in the level picking up Dr. Ann Bryson from the planet as it is swarmed by Reapers. This is a new glitch in the game I have never seen before or experienced while playing this particular content.
Outside of re-installing the game what are my options?

Google is your friend. Over 1,000 results for "ME3 Ladder Glitch".
Basically, try these in order:
1. Head toward the ladder in question and while moving look straight UP. (Often successful with just this.)
2. Set game to play in "Windowed" mode.
3. Set resolution very low.
4. Set other graphics options to minimums.
Good Luck!
