Crash during Leviathan DLC Harvester boss fight?

Mar 28, 2013 20:01

I'm really not sure what's going on with this one. I'm running a quad core with 4g of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 6770 GPU, Win7x64, and I've got this consistent, repeatable crash ( Read more... )

When was the last time you updated your graphics card's drivers?

Yesterday when I installed the card.

Hm. OK. Are we talking the drivers that came with the card, or drivers that you downloaded? :) The latter are typically newer.

Also -- have you tried doing a repair on Mass Effect 3? Could be a corrupt file causing the problems, rather than graphics card issues.

I was going to say that I had an instance during the mission where you rescue the turians on Tuchanka where the area with the Harvester lands and its full of reaper forces and I've had the problem a couple times where I clear out the area but don't get the story to progress (stuck and the turians wont show up) but then I read your title is in regards to Leviathan. :/ (Also I was on XBox...)

The only thing I can suggest is perhaps an inadequate power source?

I've had a similar issue (not in Mass Effect but on my PC in general) and it turned out to be a physical problem with my motherboard's compatibility with my graphics cards. So it might be a hardware issue, not a software issue. I had to get a new mobo to fix it.

Along the lines of what la_libertine said, it's possible that this might be some sort of problem with the graphics card itself. Shortly after I installed ME3 last year, I had a problem where I couldn't get the screen resolution correct for my monitor - basically the graphics card would supply me 16:9 ratios but not the 1.6 my monitor actually has (no 1440x900 option was available anywhere). Everything looked weird, stretched, squashed, and so on and bits of the image were missing off the edges of the monitor. Reinstalling ME3, reinstalling the drivers, checking for software conflicts, reinstalling Windows itself ... none of it made any difference, and was driving me mad trying to get it sorted ( ... )
