ME3 Legendary Crashing On Launch

Hi all - I'm asking this question here because I've tried basically every solution to this problem that I've come across in other forums/reddit posts/youtube videos and none of them have helped me. 

Two days ago, I went to launch ME3 and when I went clicked resume and went to the loading screen, the game crashed. I had been playing the game the previous day with no issues (just finished Priority: Tuchanka) and I've also played ME3 several times on this computer with absolutely no problems. To my knowledge nothing changed for me hardware/software-wise in the 24 hours between game sessions. ME1 and ME2 also launch fine. In an effort to try and solve my problem I have:

  • restarted my computer, Steam, and the EA app
  • repaired the game files on steam 
  • deleted the cache on the EA app
  • turned off overlays for both steam and the EA app
  • went online and offline in both applications
  • updated my drivers
  • uninstalled and reinstalled the game onto my computer's built-in hard drive
  • turned off cloud syncing
  • moved save files to desktop to test if it was a problem with a corrupt save
  • uninstalled the game, made a new steam and EA account, repurchased MELE and redownloaded it just because I wanted to be as thorough as possible

I also probably tested some other things that I've just forgotten about at this point. 

So, if someone happens to have some thoughts on something else I can try or what might be the problem, that would be so appreciated. Or you can just tell me I'm doomed to never play ME3 again. I will attach my DXDiag (please don't make fun of me for playing on a partitioned MacBook I know it's lame and bad let me live).

Thank you!

    I turned off cloud sync on steam and went offline on the EA APP; both were turned off when I moved the save files.
