Mass Effect 3 will not stop crashing

So I'm on Rannoch, and I've just exposed the Reaper hiding underneath the base. Legion procures ground transport, and we zoom off. I know I'm <supposed> to kill the Reaper in ground combat, but inst...

If you are on a PC try to repair the game.

(Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)

(EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
(Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

If that don't helps, create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

I repaired the game and restarted.

Now I'm getting "unable to authorize dlc" again. Why oh why will this not just work?

Anyway, I'm going to post a dxdiag with this reply. Hope we get some answers.

    So the game still crashes?

    • Hit Windows key and X.
    • Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)", whichever option is offered.
    • Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
    • If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
    • Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
    • The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
    • After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key and X again.
    • Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command Prompt (Administrator)”
    • Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes. >ENTER.
    • Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.

      Okay,

      dism ran without errors for both the /checkhealth and /restorehealth switches

      sfc /scannow returns "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation"

      Was this what you wanted?
