Crashing Issues:
During the mission, the game crashes right after Shepard watched a video data detailing the Reapers’ invasion of the Prothean empire. If you try to reload to the last check point, Shepard’s team will appear in the Kodiak shuttle along with clipping issues.
To overcome this crash, load your last save game prior to watching the video. After watching the video and the conversation with Liara, immediately hold the Shift key (Command HUD) for a few seconds, bypassing the issue.
Also, since there are two “Prothean flashbacks” Shepard must watch, one tied to the way to open the Prothean pod and another tied to the signal that must be disrupted first, sometimes the crashing issue will not happen if the player makes sure to watch the “opening pod” video first, before watching the “signal” video. Although the mission is designed so the player gets the “signal” data first since the signal must be disrupted before the pod can be opened, watching the “signal” video first seems to cause the mission to crash, so the player must go a bit out of his/her way to watch the “opening pod” first.
