Mass Effect 3 freezing

Randomly when I'm in menus (shops, email, weapon modification, squad menu)  in Mass effect 3 the game will freeze up and stop responding and I'm forced to close it manually.  

I've tried just about everything short of uninstalling the game.

My specs:

Windows 7

Intel i5-3470

12gb ram

Nvidia GTX 760 (most resent drivers)

I should mention I've only had this happen in single player

    I'm having the same problem right now on Xbox Live. ME3 multiplayer totally freezes up when I go into the store. It's been happening all day. The only thing I can do after that is to fully exit the game back to the XBL home screen. 

  • Hi!

    I have same problem within game, in addition have strong problems with joining to lounge and freezing game in progress. This one persist today (09-06-15). Connections checked OK, (so, I write this message and inet stays up). Appears as scripting mess.

    Today game not returning to lounge or MP menu after match, otherwise returning to main menu - who knows what?

  • Hey there; I may have a solution for PC users!

    I was having this problem as well; the game would freeze randomly on menus, like the shop screens, character customization, multiplayer character selection, etc. 

    I found that disabling "Origin in-game" fixes this issue... or, well, my game hasn't frozen anymore after that.

    I recommend trying this out, if anyone still faces the issue.

    You can disable Origin in-game by right clicking on your ME3 in the game library, choosing "game properties", and checking the "disable Origin in-game" option. Then just boot the game up, and see if it works. 🙂
