Reading this thread is frightening... Having the exact same issues.
I stopped playing the MP 3 weeks ago, because it's an utter waste of time, getting dc's 7 out 10 matches, when you're lucky...
But the summit of it is the nonchalence of the Bioware Team... Come on guys, you can't seriously go on throwing events at the ublic and ignoring the issues of so many people!!!
The MP is sometime unplayable...

A reation would be appreciated, even though most people understand that the problem lies within the fishy EA servers...

[Damanique]

This is getting worse and worse. Today I could not connect to any game for over an hour, despite enabling UPNP and ports and everything. Then *after* disabling it all again I could connect, but started lagging and glitching in the middle of the game, making it totally unplayable. WTF is this ****.

[Bobbert]

EA may be trying to fix this, but if so they need to let us know about it. So far it just seems like they don't care.

[TweedleDee66]

Just stopped in to see if there was any news yet on this problem since I last posted in here and what a shocker not a peep from anyone at BioWare. Yet they can keep promoting these weekend events KNOWING that the servers are not working that well.

[HalfMurrayLife]

And in a further update its back to being stuffed again! Tonite the loading screen once again freezes for 10 seconds when you 'press any key'. And after I connect to the EA servers, as usual I cannot host a game [after some time it eventually times out / disconnects from the server], nor join a game [freezes and I have to ctrl + alt + del]. I guess this is the new normal??

Being able to play MP is now a lottery.

[jancz89]

I allowed my ME3 in my firewall, enabled UPNP, forwarded those ports and nothing !!!! why why why????? playing without friends is no FUN !!!! <_<<_<<_<

can anybody tell me where is the problem??  please? I don't know if it's my fault or not...

[sharien]

its not your fault most likely...as far as i can tell its faulty netcode...
the occurence of connection issues seems random and not reproducable...it just works somedays and some days it wont

[Scorpium]

But hey guyz, multiplayer profile! Hurray! ... I'd rather be able to play the game, but oh well nice feature added.

[sammerz]

It seems week days are best.

It's very rare for me to go past Wave 6 on weekends.

Anyway, today I had a new way of enraging myself: I disconnected AFTER THE EXTRACTION SCREEN, without receiving credits for the match.

Oh and also DC on Wave 9 (Hydra/Gold) today.

WHY DO WE HAVE NO ACKNOWLEDGES FROM BIOWARE?

[Paradox6006]

Disconnecting from games during waves 7-9 in 7 out of 10 games. Wouldn't bother me as much if I got XP and Credits from the game but you get NOTHING.

It's quickly getting on my nerves since I've got no new weapons from packs so I still have default weapons ( got game yesterday) and only bought 2 spectre packs because I'm not getting the creds I should have gotten. Got Geth Infiltrator to lvl 18 and Batarian Soldier just from it now though so I'm not too unhappy

[ssxpro]

That sums it up really. Even if Bioware/EA continue to act as though it's not an issue at their end, that it's actually all of us setting up our routers incorrectly, there's a simple fix that would make it better for everyone.

Currently, we know that if you use a Cobra or medi gel or any other in-game support pack, then it will be permanently gone at the end of the game, even if you've been disconnected. If there's tracking in place for that, then surely it would be absolutely noddy to add tracking for credits and experience earned up to that point. In the event of a disconnect, the unlucky players should, at the very least, be given all credits and experience up to that point or, possibly, all points and credits earned at the end of the previous round. A disconnect in Round 11 would therefore still award players with a good chunk of credits and some experience (assuming they get only the individual player's experience not that of the team, though the latter wouldn't be hard either).

That same should be said for packs where the transaction goes wrong. EA/Bioware aren't really losing anything if they vote in favour of the player by default. If a pack messes up and you're left shafted without credits or the pack, it's pretty unpleasant (and, I imagine, far worse if you're daft enough to spend real money on it). Why force players to contact support over something like that, when the simple solution in such a case would be to refund credits by default, if any potential fault in the pack purchase is detected.

In both cases, round disconnects and pack purchase errors, there's a disgusting sense of money-grabbing about it, in that only the bad options for the player are given. For a successful business model, especially one not giving anything real away, surely piddling on the faces of customers and slapping them in the face with bits of crap at the first sign of something wrong isn't the way to go.

As for no acknowledgement from Bioware, is it possible that it's EA controlling the way this works (look at the similar credit/money system in SSX for example), and maybe it's them who are keeping quiet and ignoring all the problems in the hope that money will continue to flow in?

[HalfMurrayLife]

Well, tonite it worked again. So starting a few days back it's become random for me.

[AgentChaos]

been playing for 3 hours and cant even finish a single match
always get disconnected randomly
im on ps3 btw

[Hiero Glyph]

What's funny is that according to the OP, direct connecting should eliminate the problem entirely. Sadly it does not. It certainly has something to do with the connection to EA's Origin servers as there have been multiple times where I have been disconnected from EA's servers and have still retained my Xbox Live connection (and my connection to my party chat). I doubt Bioware is capable of fixing EA's problems but ignoring it certainly will not make it go away.

[Jamesui]

It's sorta sad that if anything will prevent me from completing the squad challenge this weekend, it's the connection issues. I played 4 gold matches today. Got dconned on waves 6, 10, and 8 of three of them and wiped on wave 10 of the last. Network monitor says internet up and down was functioning through each hiccup.

[RageBattle]

I was excited when I joined my first Gold game today after the operation started and we won, despite being as random a group as it gets. Even topped the scores, but what do you know, wave 11 - lost connection to servers.

Great.

[xenacrocker]

Sorry about that RageBattle. I've had that happen a few times and it really stinks.
I had some good games for a week or two with no lag or lost connection.
The past two days I've had a lot of lag and "lost" my connection to the servers at the end of the first wave on gold. It makes people think you're a jerk who rage quits after the first wave and then they have to try to run a game with 3 people.

[Gedankenlautwerden]

This is extremely frustrating. I have joined three successive gold matches, equipped equipment etc only to D/C once after 20 seconds and twice on wave 2. Isn't the multiplayer on a P2P system? Its getting beyond ridiculous. I've had more stable connections playing DOTA on dial up speed with significant lag and 3 second input delay.

[ssxpro]

It's as though the setup has extremely low tolerance, and panics at the first sign of trouble. I've played online games where people are jumping and lagging all over the shop with horrendous glitches and other issues, but the game clings on and the battle continues. In Mass Effect, I rarely see odd skippy jumpy people, but at the first glimpse of a shadow of a maybe, everything collapses and you're ejected from a game. Equipping your best mods is terrifying because you expect to lose them.

[Adam Walsh]

I just had a game disconnect on me as soon as the timer to get to the LZ hit 0:00. Dissapointed as the potential credits, experience and galactic readiness percentage just went down the drain after an excellent multiplayer game.

[boblebob]

wave 4 gold disconnect. lots of lag tonight too

[xenacrocker]

OMG BIOWARE! Why oh why can't you set up dedicated servers ? It is too laggy to play tonight. Why do you have these operations when you can support regular traffic let alone higher traffic? While I did have some rather interesting moments skipping about the map with a couple of phantoms, seeing enemies go up into walls and see squadmates floating over me, it is mainly FRUSTRATING.

[the_last_krogan]

this is just ridiculous i can jump on MW3 make a party and play for like 6 hrs straight and not have any issues ..... i cant even finish one match on mass effect 3, c'mon EA pull finger and get the bloody thing sorted

[MaliciousMudkip]

Severs are absolutely pathetic. I haven't been able to finish a SINGLE game of multiplayer, not one. I've been trying all weekend, I've got into 4 games and disconnected from everyone. I've tried it with 3 different internet connections. Sort it the bloody hell out.
