After a lot of testing in multiplayer games i see a patern. I always get disconected after 21-22 minutes of staying online. If a game lasts more than 21-22 minutes i just get disconected even if i dont lag for no reason. If a game lasts less im lucky, but next game i get disconected at almost the start. Its like there is a timer. I cant stay longer online even if i dont lag even if my connection is ok i always get disconected. I really want to play cause i like this game but no you got only 21mins time. At least it would be ok to get the credits and the xp you earned, but no just take a disconect and shut up lol.

For those who are getting the perpetual 'joining game' screen, you may want to try the port forwarding as instructed in the OP.
It worked for a friend and myself.

I have exactly the same problem. 20 Minutes after joining a game I get a disconnect, or if I host all other players get disconnected. But the connection to the ME3 server still stays. (It hangs on Communicating.... for about a minute)
However: This only happens on the first multiplayer game I join, after 20 minutes there is no more problems. Even if I play one game for 16 Minutes disconnect and then join another. I will disconnect after 4 Minutes.

Every time I restart ME3 this happens, but if I play Singleplayer or just Alt+Tab out, it continues to work. (After the 20 Minutes have passed)

My current workaround is: Start ME3, make a private game, let it sit for 25 Minutes while doing something else. After that: Play normal.

Did not happen in the Demo btw.

My Router is a Thompson 565 (Speedtouch)

my new strategy now, as sad as it sounds, is to play gold and get to wave 3, then go deliberately kill myself so the team loses and i at least get some gold and exp before it disconnects me. **** i may aswel not be playing it at all!!

I've been experiencing this for a few days now. Went from having no problems to not being able to finish a single match. I've had ME3 since launch and played a bunch of the demo with zero issues. My connection issues seem to be a bit more random as sometimes I'll get booted within the first few waves and other times it will be much later than that. I've tried the router fix and enabled UPnP as well as opened up the UDP ports mentioned by Bioware. Even have ports opened specifically for Xbox Live.

I've been doing some testing over the past couple of days. Tested my connection with my Xbox being the only device connected to my router. No difference. Ran continuous ping test and found that every once in a while I would drop a ping. Usually about 1 or 2 per every 75 pings. Tried taking the router out of the equation and ran connected directly to cable modem with no difference. Booted me from the first match I played. Also tried clearing Xbox system cache with no difference there.

I've got to do a couple more tests tonight like running a continuous ping test connected directly to cable modem as well as check the modems signal strength. Everything else I do on Xbox live seems to be fine though. I'm able to stream video in HD quality and play other games without connection issues or much if any latency.

One observation I have noticed is that if I play during the day rather than evening/night than I don't get disconnected. Not sure if this is due to EA's servers not having as many people on them at that time or if its my ISP not being hit as heavily as it is during the evening hours.

If I find any type of resolution I'll let everyone here know. I know how awful this issue is as I haven't been able to enjoy the game for several days now. I've probably completed 75+ waves with nothing to show for it.

I did that, but I still get the "Joining Game..." screen every other day. I have no clue why, and it's starting to ****** me off. The ME3 multiplayer is fantastic, and my friends and I have a blast every time we play, but getting that damn thing to work always takes us at least half an hour...

/edit: I haven't experienced disconnects, but joining a private game takes _ages_ because we are perpetually stuck in that loading screen...

Since installing the patch and DLC I haven't been able to connect any games, not quick, not self-hosted, not friend-invited (playing on PC). Getting slightly frustrated, especially since I didn't have much problems previously.

I can't even finish a match, I keep getting disconnected 2 or 3 minutes after it starts. I've been having this problem for a few days now, this is getting ridiculous.

I've lost connection to every game I've joined since the map pack came out.

Hi everyone just to reiterate to those new comers, I had the same issue about 2 weeks ago or so , 20minutes and I get dropped on time everytime , and occasonally right at the start too.
to cut a long story short , I disabled my universal plug and play on my router , thats it , based on the advice in this forum (( check earlier posts it helps )) I had no further problems connections have held ever since, I can only speak from a PC perspective but so far this worked for me and hopefully others can benifit too.

recapping..

disable universal plug and play
start ME3 join a game , test and check to see if you get past 20minutes
if your successful and you have no further problems I encourage you to post back with your results.
this worked for me and hopefully it will work for you

15+ Games today, dropped at random waves. Completed 1 to extraction but that was because I joined half way into my friends match. Never had this problem before a few days ago. Super frustrating. It makes multiplayer unplayable. When will this be fixed? My router configurations have not been touched and my internet is the same speed it's always been. I had zero problems up until a few days ago? Anyone?

It let me join my friends game last night for the first time with no problems after getting the update... Then the servers went down right before we stopped playing and went to bed. Woke up an got the new map pack thing and it's right back at not letting us join and I'm stuck on joining game. Apparently he's been playing with other friends all day but as soon as I try it's a no go.. Gladly I haven't had the disconnect problem but seriously might as well because I don't want to play without friends or without being able to mute loud and annoying little kids. The lack of mute kind of irritates me to if I'm playing in the same room as my friend like we were doing the time it actually let us join eachothers game.. Seriously can't we at least get a date to look forward to the problems being fixed or at least checked out?

I've always had problems with discennocting, but that was only one or two times a week and though that was annoying too, I could live with it .. I just said to myself 'Well, **** happens' .. maybe it was because I was playing just bronze or silver back then. And then in the last, say, two weeks, I had absolutely no problems with disconnecting - and I thought that the server problems were solved or sth .. but now .. since the new DLC was released I am disconnected constantly. I haven't finished a single match the last two days .. NOT A SINGLE ONE. And it's just frustrating and really pissing me off, when I spend twenty minutes playing on Gold and then in wave 10 or 11 i get the disconnect. It's not just annoying that I'm not getting any credits or XP for the time I played (or rather .. wasted) I also always feel bad for the others, when I'm leaving them all alone. So yeah, I'm kinda losing interest in the MP right now because it's just no fun with all these problems :(

Occasionally Origin crashes in the middle of a game and thus I get disconnected. Happened the first time I was ever winning at Gold :/

Minor annoyance at this point, but still, I don't see how requiring some DRM service to be running constantly helps anything. Just check at the beginning of games.

Getting constant disconnects on Xbox 360 right now. Would be nice to know if Bioware is performing some kind of maintenance right now working on the freezing issues with the latest patch so I wouldn't waste my time trying to play.

This is just way too much for me to coup with EA arrogance and Bioware lack of compassion for players.
After the new DLC (1 day late from what they announced), game rules are changed and my connectivity goes to hell... till Resurgence comes up I had no problems with playing the multilayer, but now I had so much lags and disconnections from game that I have lost several hours of my life to it. And I don't like people steeling my life away for DRM security.
So smart boys from Bioware please undo what mess did you done to the servers so we can actually play the F*cking game.
Thanke you.

Disabled UPNP on my router and have managed to complete 2/2 games so far. I'll edit a bit later to update.

Edit: 3/3 Silver Games 2/2 Gold Games.

Hydra on gold

Disconnected wave 3
Rejoin
Finish with full extraction
Get "EA server unavailable" error AFTER we extract.
Press A and go back to MP menu
NO XP and NO Credits.

I literally screamed because prior to this I reset my router atleast 5 times just to FIND a game.
The absolute worst experience for any MP in existence of anything relating to MP connection for any game, ever.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER
