Is it so hard for the game to save what you have earned before the disconnect?
A feature like that would be godsend


This would fix things somewhat.
Its very frustrating to disconnect and end up with nothing.


At the moment I seem to get early wave "Host has left" messages, and if they're the top scoring player it makes me think server issues.  Sometimes you restart the wave with three people, sometimes alone.

Then my first game always seems to disconnect in wave 10/11, with the "Lost connection to EA server" type errors.
After that it's usually ok for 3-4 games...  Yes NAT2, ports open, uPnP, etc.

Edit:  I should add, I have the "checking downloadable content" issue too.  
Whereby the game will not get to the main menu, ever.

The only way to resolve is to unplug the ethernet cable from the PS3 , start ME3,  let it get to the main menu.  Then plug back in the Ethernet cable, login into PSN, then EA/origin, then multiplayer...

I havent played for atleast 2 months now and i just tried a few games.
- they STILL havent fixed the connection issues ? either you enable UPNP and get loads of games, but disconnect at wave 10, or you disable UPNP, wait forever but actually finish a game.
- they still havent added the option to bind keys ? everything is still under spacebar.
instead of fixing things that are broken, they just hold new "events" ?
GG EA ?

I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if this has already been adressed, but I just recently bought the game and I haven't been able to get into a single match yet. Whenever I try to connect to a quick game, it just keeps on "Searching for games". I once let it run fo like half an hour without any luck. I also tried to connect for a few seconds, cancle and retry, doesn't help. I already tried to disable the firewall but it doesn't seem to help.
Can anyone here help me? I'd really like to buff my readiness

It happens to me also, but mostly at night time. I guess less people, lesser chance for empty slot to enter match. I usually then start my own game and hope someone will join. And sometimes they do :)
Be sure to leave most specifics to unknown. Like what enemy you prefer or what location. I just set I want to play bronze match and then wait.

Has anyone else been having issues over the weekend? Every gold game I've done, I've got to wave 10 and disconnected? Of course, when I play Silver I managed to do 3 games in a row with no trouble.

I'm guessing it's just me but I just want to make sure.

can someone please advise me, i can't seem to connect to EA servers. Can connect to origin just fine, it says communicating at the top left and 'Connecting to EA servers' but it never goes through, takes ages then this grey screen appears with ' Error, The Mass Effect 3 server is unavailable at this time, please try again later'.

Over an hour now, was fine when i was playing it earlier today, anyone got any ideas? Are the servers down or..??

I can't connect. I'm connected to Origin, but not Alliance Network. Therefore can't play multiplayer (I did only a few hours ago), and apparently can't play single because of the DLC. Fix this. I didn't pay money to not play my game.

Yea, I'm a bit frustrated by this. I got kicked out yesterday during the last wave in a Gold round, and just a few min's ago right before the shuttle landed. I understand if there is an issue on our network that you can't control, but just to boot us out and loose all progress in a match is frustrating to no end.

I am tired of this BS. I am playing on Xbox 360, my NAT is Open, my UPnP is open, I even did DMZ to my Xbox in my router and still a lot of time I can't just connect to "EA servers" when I do, I D/C from half of the games I play. Right now I am trying to connect with no effect, for last 30 minutes. Just to be sure I launched Mass Effect 2 and had no problems connecting to Cerberus Network, on same damn console. Then I launched Battlefield 3, instant connecting to EA and BattleLog. What about ME3? Nope, still "Can't connect to EA server".

Oi! Sorry, I've tried & tried to post this with no success.. let's hope today is different.

Anyways, back on topic, I play ME3 on Xbox360 & last week, starting Monday the 7th of May, I had trouble making parties with friends on xbox live, (my voice over the mic was sporatically breaking up when we coulkd party) or being able to join games. It was odd, some of my friends & I could party but only if there were others there: we'd need a third person to create then invite us to the party & once they'd left, my buddy & I were both repeatedly kicked from the party. If I recall, we had similar issues with games. After a day or to of that, things got worse for me: I couldn't make it through a full game for at least 50% of the games I played, the worst would occur right after extraction but before the award screen so I wouldn't get any xp or money. It got to where I couldn't make it through every other game & that's when I quit Multi-player for a few days. The problem eased Saturday & on Sunday I didn't have the problem at all. Anywho, I'm in Arizina & most of the friends I play with are in the Mid-West; none of them experienced my level of problem. Hopefully this helps whomever is working on the game/network to make it better.

I have been having problems staying connected to the server as of 7 pm Central Time today. I have been disconnected twice in an hour. I played all weekend (and this morning before work)  without any issues whatsoever.

Ok Bioware - major FPS issues today.,.all day

Jerky, choppy video that interferes with gameplay - makes whatever character I'm using much more vulnerable to sudden attack by the NPC enemies, who are clearly not suffering from the same issues.

The problem I've had is not connecting to the servers, but getting matches while connected. Sometimes I'll do quick match and it'll stay stuck in "searching" or if I try to create a match, no one joins. When this happens, it tends to last for the session. If I power my PS3 off, then back on, and bring up the game again, this seems to resolve the problem a large % of a time, at least for a while.

This issue does not occur in a consistent way. I can't say it happens when I do such and such. Seems pretty random.

it couldnt be anymore annoying, just got to wave 9, used ammo equipment and power shields along with warp ammo, just to lose connection to the server and lose it all.

It appears that (as the Victory/Commendation packs are being dispersed?), the servers are currently all too happy to drop you out of your match during the last 20 seconds of extraction. It is rather annoying.

(edit) Has happened to me multiple times today/tonight, and I usually dont have this problem occur as often as this.

First time I've ever had this problem, I got disconnected from the servers so much this past weekend that my Xbox rep now has a %100 quit early. Thanks a lot Bioware. That's just wrong... I never abandon anybody intentionally, now I will likely be kicked from the lobby before I'm even given a chance. Also, what's the point of having hard earned equipment if I'm too afraid to use it because your servers will mug me.

It seems to me that after every weekend event, the servers goes all choppy than usual, all the multitude of common problems appears to be magnified x3

Is just me or are the servers experiencing some minor issue right now? Like a little lag?
I always host matches with no issue but today few players experienced some lag during a couple of matches.
I know it because one of them is on my friend list, so we talked about it, and the others died too frequently.

I'll try again in the next minutes and see what happen....

 It's ****ty that your rep has tanked but it's bee my experience that most people don't look at rep in a lobby...if it becomes a big problem, send me a message here & I'll give you my xbox handle. I can introduce you to mmy friends & that way you'll be able to play with nice ppl who don't hold you accountable for problems beyond your control.

What I don't get is why we need to connect to EA servers. As far as I'm aware the match is run through the lobby leader, unless someone can correct me.

It's beyond annoying that my time comes to naught for crap that goes on at EA's end of the internet. But it is EA so it's a pretty ****ty part of the internet

So I just started experiencing getting BOOTED FROM SINGLE PLAYER when the connection to the EA servers is lost. Are you kidding me?? And if I didn't save recently - there goes any progress. When this first happened, I couldn't even believe it. One second I'm playing the game, the next I'm out at the main menu. W. T. F.

What the hell is going on that these basic flaws cannot be corrected? They're ruining the game for people. I put up with the bugs at first, but it doesn't seem like there's really any urgency whatsoever on fixing them. It's getting to the point where I simply won't buy ANY EA/BioWare products in the future, no matter how great they supposedly are.

ME3 is a broken game, bottom line.
