It would be nice if the authentication code assumed innocence instead of guilt.

Ie: if the EA servers go down, why not assume we have paid for everything, and let us progress. Rather than assume guilt, and deny us continuing?  
If it cannot validate ones unlocks, then block the store (purchases), and unlock everything temporarily, until authentication can determine ones locked and unlocked weapons.

Likewise I hope there is some plan if/when EA turns off the ME3 servers to at least let people play multiplayer solo, without needing to authenticate.

i keep getting disconnected from the mp ea server, just to be clear it is not my router, as my fiance his pc is connected to the same router and he has no problem playing mp, this is clearly an ea server problem, and its mostly when i try to host a game, is there going to be a fix for server connections dropping ? because this is making it very hard to play a game i have paid for :(

Main console - PS3

Today has been thoroughly annoying. The amount of times I was disconnected was getting far beyond a joke.

Seriously though they aren't going to fix it - they (Bioware/EA) ignore it.

Purchasing packs can cause the connection to hang (mostly inbetween matches) result is disconnect back to the title screen - People complain - they ignore it

Equipped gear is lost if disconnected from a match - People complain, they ignore it.

Credits and XP earned during a match is lost on disconnection - People complain, they ignore it.

We've been complaining about these issues for months - they've so far not addressed it - they've ignored it.

Just so you know I have also played MP on the 360 version using the same ethernet connection - and the problems were far less on my last session (almost non existant).

It's too random to be user side.

I have been having connection problems for a few months now. I will say that my Xbox is connected wirelessly, but I had little issues early on when the game came out. I would get disconnected occasionally like I did when I played halo reach, so no big deal.

But it was about the time that they started to include PS3 in the challenges or the Resurgence pack came out (whichever came first) that the issue became greater. And as every major thing (PS3 challenge inclusion, Resurgence, and Rebellion) came out my problem became worse. That can't be a coincidence.

I have actually been able to play many games without a problem, when I play LATE at night. I'm talking 12:00 AM and after. Which tells me that there are so many people are on at once earlier in the day that I can't keep connection.

Bioware does not ignore what players say about there games. Hence the reason they're making the "Extende Cut" DLC. From what I know, Bioware has little or no control regarding the servers, EA does. So please do not blame Bioware.

I personally believe that IF Bioware had complete control over the servers used for their games, the problem would have been taken care of already.

And I agree, this problem is spread far too wide to be "user side".

EA, if you really are ignoring what players are saying about this problem, then I think you do not deserve Bioware as a part of your company. I'm sorry for this part of my comment, but I am so tired of this problem thet that is how I feel.

Having a bit of a problem here and thought someone could enlighten me regarding a few of the issues I'm having; PC user here with Origin.

Since I've begun playing multiplayer, I've had a relatively faultless experience with connectivity and such. A friend and I decided to play a bit of MP yesterday evening and since then, I have been experiencing technical issues when online with them. Connection at home tends to be a little glitchy at times but my game works perfectly fine 99.9% of the time when joining strangers in a public room.

When my friend hosts in a Private Room and sends me an invite, I can connect to them without any glitches, etc. Around Wave 9 or 10 (most of the time), my game freezes during our first match and the small symbol for 'Connecting' appears on my screen, hanging for a minute or so. A dialogue box appears directly after informing me that I have lost connection to the game whereas my friend is still connected and left to fend for themselves.

Most annoying part of this is when I attempt to join another game directly afterwards, my game then hangs on the loading screen every invite I receive from them. Only thing that seems to fix the issue is closing down both Origin and Mass Effect 3 and then restarting them. Disconnected again during the match when they managed to invite me a second time. We've both got decent connections and I'm still able to connect to the server. Anyone else encountered this problem or know why I'm having difficulty connecting to a friend but am able to play alongside others?

Thanks in advance!

im fed up of the lost connection to ea server issue which has just happened yet again, this is becoming very annoying, still no fix and it appears to be more than just me having this issue, i guess this issue wont ever get fixed, so i wasted money on this game just to be unable to play all of its features :(

since 1.03 i have only been able to solo without getting disconnected. When i solo i make it all the way to extraction with no lag and no disconnects. When i host, i always get disconnected during a money wave , 3, 6 or 10. When i dont host it happens before wave 3.

I play 4 other mp games and never have an issue with disconnects. i may get some lag , but it's not bad. I have tried everything suggested , by bioware and by other players. I just solo now.

sadly im not very good so soloing is no good to me, i just wish we were not been ignored, and this would get fixed, its been months since this game got released and we have had 4 dlc's released but only 2 or 3 patches that broke more than they fixed, this is just not acceptable, i've tried been patient, and i have been as calm as i can be but come on this is beyond a joke now, getting disconnected this much is annoying, and it is not my router because my lad would get disconnected to, but its me who is having the issue yet he has no problem playing, and we both play in the same matches, as if life isnt stressful enough, i play to take my mind of problems, not to give me more :(

There just are not enough people like us for them to really care.

All week I've been unable to play MP because I keep the "Your connection to the game has been lost" error message when I try to join or start a match. On tuesday I was able to join 1 match but that was it for the entire work. Dozens of attempts, same thing. My connection is fine. I have no connection issues with any other game, just ME3. I even got kicked out of SP with the "Your connection to the game has been lost" message, costing me about an hour of gameplay.

This is not just a Mass Effect 3 problem. The EA servers across all there game titles suffer from the same thing from one degree or another. Its not your router or graphics card.....its EA servers. Private servers might work better....I know of a few that run Battlefield 3 with no issues. As far as I'm aware it something to do with your ping. If an EA server gets a ping spike you will lose connection...they seem to have a problem with the ping. Its put me off Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer big time!! And all Multiplayer Bioware games..and EA titles.

To bump and confirm, I used to get a lot more problems: wave 10/11 disconnects, EA servers not found etc etc. But since redoing my routers forwarded ports (it had lost them) i've had a lot less problem. This is a merge list of PSN, EA and ME3 ports i have opened:


TCP:

80
443
3478 - 3480
5223
8080
9946
9960 - 9969
10070 - 10080
13000 - 13100
18120
18060
27900
28910
42100


UDP:

3478 - 3479
3658 - 3659
6000-7000
10070

BOTH:

1024 - 1124
18000
29900

(PC)....I finally made it to wave 10 in a GOLD match and the F-ing connection crashed...I happened to be the leader, so that makes me look bad. like I punked out at the last minute. Whats the deal with the connection issues at Bioware? My internet connection is running 100%.

This sounds like the same issue I had in Halo:Reach co-op. I would lag out of the game and have to finish by myself. If you play on console, its most likely a bandwidth issue. Your best solution is to run a cord to your router, if that's an option

Yeah, even on the PC I got bumped alot on both Friday Saturday and Sunday. Frustratingly on round 9 and 10. Sometimes as a host, and other times not. Hate it if I was hosting. Makes me look bad.

I have been suffering from being disconnected from the multiplayer on my PC since the EC DLC, not sure whether that is a contributing factor or not, lets just say in 15 days i have had 28 disconnects, i don't bother putting mods on my characters now as i am not sure whether i will stay connected past wave 2 or 3 (and have lost countless one mission mods because of this issue), no wonder Operation Broadside was a fail if people can't stay in a match for the whole 11 waves. It is a frustrating issue and one i wish would be fixed.

Reading all these posts makes me angry and relieved at the same time knowing that i'm nt alone but that this problem has gone on for months and has not been addressed.

I have been having problems the past week or so staying connected to games. I make it from anywhere to seconds before extraction or seconds within starting the match. I have been getting disconnected at a rate of 80% I'd guess and that has cost me soooo many credits and mods and xp.

Please Bioware do something about this, as your game is unplayable to a large group of players.
