Forum:Ladder troubles - please help

Hi all, I am curious if anyone else has encountered this problem and if they know of any way around it.

Yesterday I downloaded the Leviathan DLC and started a new game, using an ME3 character import. I got as far as fixing the bridge in Namakli dig site. I then climb up a ladder onto a roof section which I run across to a down ladder, the elevator controls I am heading for are just ahead up a little incline but the problem is I can't get Shep to go down the ladder.

I have tried pushing forward into it, which has worked on all previous down ladders, and Shep gets stuck at top of ladder for a bit before returning to the top of the structure. I have tried finding a place to jump down, but can't find any. Tried running at ladder, backing into it, side walking into it, forwarding into it and pressing space (and every other key on the keyboard) but I still can't negotiate this ladder. I have even tried going back down the ladder I went up to reach my current location and everything is the same. As a result I am stuck on the structures roof with no way off while Harvesters rain firey death upon me. I can order my team mates ahead and they will use the ladder but I can't follow. I have even tried to quick save after forwarding into the ladderand Shep gets stuck in an effort to get onto the ladder and load in at that point but the quick save won't trigger while Shep is stuck on the ladder.

I have tried to negotiate these ladders both online and offline in case that was causing a problem, but while I can go up ladders I can't go down. I have even loaded in various save points from previous playthroughs and found downladders which I have no problems with. I have even started up a new game and played through the tutorial till I reach the first down ladder just to see how to use it, again no problems with this ladder.

Any help that any one can provide in helping me overcome this problem would be appreciated.--TSwiftFan1346 (talk) 16:50, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
