Recently bought all the Mass Effect 2 DLC for PC and am doing my upteenth playthrough.
However, every 3 or so hours of gametime difficulty will suddenly revert to Normal, and if I try to change it, it crashes. Game still runs, but any attempt to change the difficulty back to Insanity results in a CTD.
After the first time I've grown wise enough to have a backup on my desktop to copy into the main directory to reset everything, but it's still a rather annoying process.
I did a systematic reinstall the first time this happened too, and can say with very little doubt it is any of my few mods' fault -- from a clean install, installed each mod 1 by 1 with a launch and system edit each time, with no crash.
Anybody else ran into this issue? I'll keep trying to figure out where the fault is whenever it happens and post a solution if I find one.

Well, it is pretty likely that the Mods are the issue.
If I understand you correctly you already tried the game at vanilla state?
