Update:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so if you're reading this thread, you're probably playing through the Overlord DLC, and are crashing after the Weapons Loadout screen when attempting to procede to Prometheus Station.

-It seems the most common cause of this is having Legion in your team (although DVACDK seems to have had either the same or a similar issue with Kasumi).

-guacamayus seems to have fixed this issue by reverting his Coalesced.ini to a un-modified version, so it might have something to do with people who have edited Coalesced.ini.

-Has nothing to do with what order you do the stations in. (I spent time checking that, so I thought I'd throw that in here)

-It appears that having Legion with you during the mission eats up alot of CPU (according to Multifarious
Algorithm) and/or memory (Bfler), and some systems can handle it. Therefore restarting your PC or shutting down some excess processes might solve this issue as well.

-Apparently Legion has no unique scripting during this part of the mission, so you're not missing anything (except more Legion playtime, which we can always use more of). However, this problem could be caused by unique scripting that was removed or left unfinished, but all we can do is speculate on that.

-The problem has manefested on 64 bit and 32 bit systems, Vista and Windows 7, and on both Steam and non-Steam versions, so it doesn't seem to descriminate between systems.

So, for the short of it, if you are having this problem, mess around with your team makeup. Please leave a brief post detailing your system, what fixed it for you, and if you have modified your Coalesced.ini. With any luck, we can help get Bioware to fix this. :D

(Remainder of this post is old stuff, kept so the rest of the posts make sence.)

Been playing through the Overlord DLC. I'm really enjoying it! However, after completing Vulcan Station, I headed to Prometheus Station and the game crashes everytime I try to move past the loadout screen. I've never had the game crash on me at that screen like this before. Wondering if anyone is having the same problem or has any fixes.

Possibly Revelant Data:
OS: Vista 64-bit

Total DLC: Everything except Collectors edition and the Dr-Pepper Night-vision goggles.

Might be a graphics issue. I'll try lowering my graphics settings.

Do you have the Steam version? I had this same problem. I fixed it by using the "verify integrity of game cache" tool.

Yes, I'm using the steam version. Just ran the tool as per your suggestion. Got a quick little "All files successfully Validated". Tried running it again, but no luck. Still crashes at the same place.

Same issue. No steam.

Xp.

It crashes every single time :(

I tried unistalling the DLC and even the game, but no results.

Ok, found whats causing it. It won't let me take legion to it. Which sucks, because I'm sure he has some unique scripting there, what with it being a geth ship and all. But that scripting is probably whats causing it.

:(

Thanks for figuring that out Thurnee. The unique scripting issue makes sense, considering the 'will your friend be a problem' comment from earlier.

Hope they fix it. Was really hoping to see what would happen with legion throughout the mission.

I had the same problem, but not with Legion, in my case it was Kasumi. I just picked another person and went on my way, but yeah its something that should be looked into somehow *Steam version here*

For all of you wondering, Legion has no dialogue in the entire DLC and nothing special happens regarding him after the "is your friend going to be a problem."

Ditto. Had Legion and Tali in my team. Crashes when you approve the weapon loadout. W7 64-bit, not Steam.

Did Prometheus mission with Tali and Miranda and had no problems. Used Legion in final mission, no problems.

I have had the same problems. What solved it for me was a reboot of my PC because I noticed in the taskmanager that there was almost no free memory. After the reboot I didn't have any crashes (also with Legion)

Maybe the problem is related to memory and not the squad mates.

Yep same problem. Mass Effect 2 crashes (Windows "Program not responding" message) but the game executable keeps running till I kill it with task manager - background sounds play etc.



It seems like it consumes all the CPU on whichever core it ends up running on (25% usage on my Q9600 machine).

Yep same here, (win7 x64 & steam) will try different characters except legion when I get home tonight.



Looks like this is a pretty common bug - shame.

I should have mentioned that I tried rebooting and picking legion. Didn't work for me.

Would have thought BW should have spotted this one since Legion & Tali are the ovbious choices when fighting Geth & AI.

Looks like its definately related to having legion in your team. Just tried again and crash crash crash, then selected Amanda & Grunt and I'm on my way :)



Great game so far, just shame about an obvious bug :(
