ME3:L - Priority Earth crashing in same spot

During the priority earth mission in ME3 Legendary, right after Anderson meets you with the transport there is a few minute cut scene where you are at the forward operating base, Anderson tells you to meet him in the building, the other guy continues to talk for about a minute.

After the conversation, the game transitions from cut scene to playable and this is where my screen goes mostly black and you can see the dim loading text and symbol in the bottom right corner.

I have restarted the game a half a dozen times and also validated my files. I am playing on Steam with a high-end PC and haven't had any issues so far in my 100+ hours.

I am a first time player so no spoilers please. Any advice on what to do is appreciated!

    Posting a DXDiag would perhaps help.


    In the meantime, just some random things I would try:


    - Disable any game client overlays. If the Steam version also uses Origin, then disable the Origin overlay (idunno since I have MELE on Origin).

    - Try capping your FPS in the in-game menu to 60 for example.

    - Disable HDR.

    Also, have the game run in admin mode while you try these.

    Edit: I'd check if any new graphics drivers are available as well.

    These are some great steps to try. The other thing I'd check at this point would be that if you have any overclocked hardware, try returning it to the factory default settings as well.
