I've looked all over the forums and while I have found slightly similiar issues at other points in the game I've not come across others having the same issue. However I have been able to confirm the problem happens through 5 different play throughs at the same spot.


Where it happens:
This is right before you go to make the push to the Reaper Beam. You've met up with the rest of Hammer team and now you're left going around talking to all your fellow team members doing the usual final conversation pieces. By the time you reach Javik (for those who got that DLC), you go through that conversation piece, then up to the non-interactive conversation with Wrex. From there you move up the rubble "ramp" towards the next door. THIS is where the problem occurs.

At least for those who have been playing a longer stretch... as you go up this "ramp" the lower right hand corner of the screen brings up a Loading animation. (Assuming this is the game essentially caching more of the game ahead of your play). As soon as the Loading animation comes up... BAM... frozen. The entire game freezes on screen. If you press the Xbox Home button on your controller you'll here the home screen pop up but won't see anything. At that point the entire system is completely frozen. So much to the point that physically pressing the 360's power button takes the XBOX a moment to even acknowledge that it's been told to shut off.

Now... turn on the XBOX, start ME3 again and load the game at the most recent save point (an auto save point is the only closest option to pick), so you will be doing some catching up talking to all your team members again. The only difference at this point though is the game now doesn't bring up the Loading animation. Almost like the fresh load from this auto save point actually caches more of the map ahead of time. Hence, the game doesn't freeze and you're able to continue without further problems.

I have been able to recreate this issue on multiple play throughs, multiple character careers with identical results 100% of the time. And each work around has been the same. Turn off, reload, play on.

Was wondering if any other players and/or developers have seen this issue cropping up at this part of the game?

This happened to me on my last playthrough, I didn't think anything of it though and thought it was just a random freeze. Interesting to know someone else got the exact same freeze.

At least there's a work around to it.... Irritating as it is to replay all of the conversations again for another 20 minutes. LoL.
