2. my $10 was like went missing when i was trying to buy 2 spectre boxes from last days or week ago but it disappeared when i lagged or d/cd out of lobby room.. 

3. other problems is like umm when i d/cd out of playing game in mass effect 3 then i got invites to get back in game but i get struck by loading time and it didn't load back in game..  :unsure:

Quoted for Truth.

Seriously, on PC I play one game and will DC before the end. Then I can play for hours after but may DC once or again during at least one more match.

Hardest part is to actually get into a game. I find it hard to get into a lobby, harder to stay in long enough to start the match and if the host quits I need to exit or often get stuck.

This is pretty unacceptable. If the MP wasn't so damn good when working I would of let this title collect dust, but its really getting to me and I don't play games for stress, its to de-stress! :(

Edit: I have a house mate who plays on xBox and can be at the same time and he dosen't suffer the same problems so its not my internet or router problem.

I've always wondered why EA servers go down so much more frequently than any other company's servers. Of all the game developers out there, they charge us the most money for game content that should simply be part of the core gaming experience, even going so far as to create the "online pass" to punish people who buy their games used. Why don't they put some of that money towards improving the reliability of their servers. I'm even playing on Xbox 360, which from what I've heard has the most consistent connections, but even on that platform the servers disconnect you or just simply go down altogether far more frequently than any other online server that I've ever encountered. On Mass Effect 3 it's so bad that when their servers go down the entire game becomes literally unplayable as it will actually freeze up the console unless you play the game offline. Please EA, listen to your consumers, your servers have to be more reliable!

I cannot create or join a game right now from Germany. (this seems to happen more often...)
The store does not work either.

Last game I played we had massive clipping problems with players (myself included) looping in a falling animation above the map.... <sigh>
Unfortunately I do not have a lot of time to play, so this makes it very frustrating.

I appear to be getting put into games with horrible ping. Feels like 300-400 ping judging by the feel of the lag.

Above 200 ping is unacceptable, especially if you want to be more competitive.

This.
And also funny: Bronze ok, Silver ok and Gold... keeps disconnecting on wave 10...
Do we need 1 Mbit bandwith per mob or what?

You do realise that there are security issues associated with UPnP and that there might be reason it's disabled, right?

I got as far as this on page 1 before looking up what UPNP is and the risks then deciding that its not worth the risk to turn it on even if I knew how to change the settings on the router.

I find it rather annoying that there hasn’t been a reply from anyone at BioWare in 2 months about this in here or that they like to refer us to EA’s tech help because after all Mass Effect 3 isn’t a BioWare made game right?

Very true. This crap should have been fixed when the problem first appeared. If the game had been fully tested in the first place, this and so many other bugs and technical problems would have likely gotten to the final version of the game.

Mine's working again! 5 straight games no DC!

UPnP is still disabled (I never turned it back on from this weekend.)

Soo..I hooked my laptop up in between the 360 and my home network to run diagnostic software.

There seems to be an issue between wave 10 and 11 where a large data packet is sent to the servers and this seems to bounce from either my Router, ISP, XboxLIVE or EA's own servers. As this packet is resent twice without answer, this causes a disconnect.

Sooo...Bioware, you dropped the ball on this one it seems.
These packets become larger as the game difficulty is raised, perhaps it tries to send the data of the entire past game (kills, used items, etc.) to the server and gets no response?

Edit: Yes..I'm annoyed and want my exp/credits dangit...

For me it happens no matter difficulty, and I have 100Mbit, so the speed of the connection has probably little to do with it.

How in the hell do you have a 100 meg connection? Do you play from a corporate
connection? 



I have never been disconnected from a game....
 I just get crazy lag as the enemy list grows. About wave 5 every starts
to crawl. With the Geth HUNTER MODE on...  FORGET IT, you can't play. I
Complain yes, but I DO really enjoy the game, my wife and I already had to
fights due to me spending too much cash on specter packs...  ;)  We
hug afterword’s.  I am limited to 20$ a week.   STILL - This needs to
be fixed, and UPDATES MAN, come on BIOWARE, EA, ....UPDATES are needed -
"We have observed multiple complaints regarding the new DLC/Patch. Please
be advised that we are looking into these concerns and will update our loyal,
beloved, ROCKeN’ customers on a daily basis - we greatly appreciate your business,
hang in there - this should be fixed soon".:ph34r:

I've tried multiple matches today (5) each time, at wave 10/11 I get disconnected.

The last one there, everything was perfectly fine, we were on wave 11, the shuttle came to extract the team.

Countdown 3.. 2.. 1.. all fine. Then it hit 0. "Connecting.." message appeared, and then disconnected me. Again.

And none of the XP/Credits accumulated during the fight were retained. All lost. 5 in a row.

Considering my apartment complex is connected via fiberoptics from my isp and that I wrote bit and not byte.. Id say its very much possible without being on a corporate network.

Corporate networks usually run on OC48 or DS3
lines that run anyone from to 10,000 - $60,000 a month. Your apartment has a
dedicated Fiber line, that would be impressive but if it's shared, you will at
most be able to pull about 7-15 megs due to throttling.


Anyways...  yes, the issue still exists and I have not heard any updates from the might makers [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/whistling.png[/smilie]

I can get 100MB on my ISPs cable network, which is some form of docsis coax cable. And australia will have fibre to the home rolled out to 97% of the population in the next few years.

Jesus wept, I cannot complete a game at the moment! Nearest I have gotten is wave 9 but it seems like it is always happening around 3 or 4 now. I live in Sweden and have a pretty good connection so I don't think it's a problem at my end. So annoying!!

 Yup, happening to me a lot too. Losing connection to either the EA servers or Xbox Live during a multiplayer match will freeze my entire system. Or at least kick me out of the game. Either way, I lose all of my XP and credits that I've earned for the match. Especially irritating if I'm about to be extracted. Shouldn't credits be wired to my account AS SOON as I earn them? That way if I get kicked like that, I can still keep the money. I wouldn't mind losing the XP.

Well, I signed up for 100Mbit, meaning I can get up to aprox a potential 12.5Mb/s, of course I dont expect to get that high most of the time, but I have gotten up to 10 when really really lucky. Of course, it doesnt just depend on the speed of my connection but on stuff anywhere between here and... whatever Im connected to.

Still, it means that the speed of peoples connections have very little to do with whether they get disconnected or not. Lag however is a different issue but thats mostly due to the connection between the host and the other players. Its the connection to the EA servers that is the issue here. Someone posted that they had run a diagnostic with a laptop connected between their xbox360 and router and that a large packet of data is sent between wave 10 and 11 that bounced twice, then caused a disconnect.

So.. what can we do, but wait for EA to hopefully fix the issues with their servers.

The servers have been really bad over the last two hours. The last six or seven games that I've started have had me lose my connection in the first few rounds. The games before that were really glitchy. Since downloading the Resurgence map pack I've started getting complete xbox freezes with the game and I have to restart my whole system. This is the first time I've experienced problems with the multiplayer of ME3.
