Mass Effect 1 crashing at Therum.

Question

Okay, this is one of those annoying gamebreaking glitches.

I've decided to play the trilogy over again, and I recently started playing the first game. The game runs well on my laptop.
But there is one point in the game where I cannot get past the point.
I landed on Therum to see that everything was dark and bugged so I deleted my Local Shader Cache. When I started playing from my recent autosave, I managed to clear the first straight without any problem.

After taking a U-turn around the lava and going along the second straight, my game closes to Desktop without any cause. Sometimes, it lets me get far enough before it gives a 'Loading' screen and crashing to Desktop.

Tech folks, mind not ignoring our problem and explaining what's wrong?

I'll try to get an image of the point where it starts to crash to Desktop.

I won't let this be ignored and fall behind, since this is annoying.

Keep in mind that this is not tech support. This is a user-to-user help forum, and if people don't know the solution to your problem, they simply won't reply.

If a crash always happens at the same spot, it usually means data corruption. If you have the Origin digital download, repair the installation in Origin. If you have the steam version, verify integrity of the game cache. If you have a different version, reinstall the game.

That was nowhere near helpful.

The members have to ignore a lot of things.&nbsp; That's just the nature of a self-help forum.&nbsp;

Which of the solutions I described did you try? Which version of the game do you have? What are your system specs?

If you want anyone to be helpful, you have to provide some details yourself. We are not clairvoyants.
