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, restarting my PC, repairing the game itself, repairing the DLC specifically...nothing works. It just keeps crashing every time I run out into that hallway. Is there a fix for this that anyone knows of?
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.
I wasn't being condescending, and I wasn't doubting that the problem occurred. I was simply surprised that any "ATI" gpu was capable of running the game at all.
Repeated crashes at the exact same point are most frequently caused by an invalid instruction; one that either the software, or the hardware can't execute. While it is entirely possible that the file EA provide is faulty and is responsible for the invalid instruction, the fact thousands of other players do not have this problem makes that... questionable.
Whatever the issue is, it is likely specific to the hardware/software combination on the particular machines which encounter it. Hence the request for details about exactly that.
Which you, for example, didn't provide. You simply said that you had an "nVidia card" and "Intel CPU" . Which ones?

It's also worth noting that this is an apple computer that I'm using bootcamp with. Again, the weirdest thing about this glitch is I've played the DLC before on this computer, same setup. My specs are a little lower than most the other people having this problem as well that have posted them, and at every point in the game I'm over 20 fps. I've turned all the graphic and sound settings down as much as I can and it hasn't helped.
Another thint to mention, the guy that started this thread
said it was fixed after hitting repair. For some reason, this is no longer the solution so either that wasn't the real solution or there is something wrong with the files.
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!

"Well, there's your problem Lady!" 😕mileytongue:
Actually, I'm now out of ideas (especially since you said "it used to work".) Getting Windows apps to run on Macs (using BootCamp, or any other shim) is well beyond my expertise. So many, many places where a slip can occur. 😕mileyfrustrated:
Yes, others are having the same issue. But it's a tiny (miniscule, in fact) fraction of all ME3-Leviathan players on PCs.
(Wonder if they're all "PC-on-Mac" users as well? Hadn't thought to ask, since they're providing PC specs. Like you did...)
So while it's definitely an issue, isolating and reproducing it seems to be incredibly difficult.
I experience the same elevator problem, and shouldn't have an issue with graphics at all. Rest of the game has played fine.

I just discovered my video card drivers are outdated, but I don't think that's causing the issue, since the rest of the game runs fine.
*edit* Updated the drivers with no luck*
Repaired both ME3 base files and the DLC. Multiplayer has run fine for teh past couple weeks. Just bought Leviathan today, and it's not working.
Lowered the graphics all the way possible with the configuration utlitiy and lowered the resolution, plus windowed with and without the border. Tried running it in compatability with no luck. Origin already runs in admin mode, but I haven't tried running ME3 in admin.
