  • Are your drivers up to date ?

    If yes, so maybe some of your game files are corrupted.

    I think the only solution is to reinstall all (Origin + Mass effect).

    As I say every time i'm not sure of what I propose, contact first the EA support

    https://help.ea.com/contact-us

    But I don't think they will propose you more than what I did.

    Did both last night. When it started, I had outdated drivers then updated them and still occurs. 

    I did do a Repair Installation. I'm not sure if theres a difference between that and doing a complete overhaul. 

  • Sometime a repair is enough, but if it's still not working maybe Origin is the cause of this crash.

    Maybe you can reinstall Origin without delete your game, but I think the installation will be more proper and clean if you reinstall it all, game and all DLC...

    Reinstalled everything from scratch.  And turned off some audio features.

    Nada. Zip. No solution. And EA still hasn't gotten back to me.

    Same exact thing is happening to me except for the Geth. On bronze difficulty I can get past wave 1 no problems, but wave 2 is an instant crash. On silver difficulty it crashes on wave 1. I would assume that this means a specific enemy is spawning on that wave that is causing the crashes. Since I can't access the wave I don't know what it is, or even how it could be affecting this.
  • I'm not sure specifically but there something new in this pack that is also affecting the Firebase: Condor map. That map will not load with any enemy faction.
