Yep, Origin is outright broken. Even getting a game set up is hard enough, but being constantly dropped from games when you're at wave 7-8 is a complete joke. And you don't get ANY credit for what you've already done.

Seriously, who ported the multiplayer functions? Because it has to be a port. No-one could design something this bad from scratch. Its never been stable, and tonight its been completely unplayable.

I am having the same issue but mine is usually on wave 2 or 3, i just get into the swing of things and BAM i get the server message and have to leave the game leaving the other people on the map to fight one player short, it's like my knicker elastic is caught in a revolving door and i keep getting yanked out of the game. Out of 6 attempted maps i got dc'd 4 times... it doesn't look good for me trying the operation this coming weekend.

[Andromidius]

Well, the problem is still persisting despite talking to an EA tech. Usual nonsense of trying to imply that the problem is with my connection, despite the fact I don't have this problem with any other game.

Yeah, just fix your servers or swallow your pride and let Steam take over.

[Andromidius]

Hmm. Noticed that I disconnect mostly from Firebase Dagger.

Interesting.

Being randomly disconnected here from games

Bioware i have been unable to play for the past 3 days and as a result my GRR has dropped to 77% i expect this to be filled to 100% when this issue is resolved AND i expect my GRR to be LOCKED to 100% UNTILL this issue is resolved.

GG (NOT).

I only just started playing MP, but I keep getting DC'd. I would like to know who made the bad design choice to forefit any gained XP/credits from a match that you DC'd from? That person should be fired, if they can make a stupid desicion once who's to say they won't do it again?
I know it's not my conection, becuase I was downloading the Extended cut DLC at the same time, and whilst I was being DC'd from the game, the download was not interupted AT ALL, so yeah, evidence that It IS there server that's the probelm.

[XTR3M3]

I finally just said "eff it" and quit playing. You can adjust your EMS with Gibbed save game editor. I am tired of being disconnected and being told by techs that it is something on my end even though NOTHING ELSE I HAVE ON MY EFFING PC GETS DISCONNECTED. I also am tired of the intellectual cripples that suggest those of us having connection issues pirated the game or are using a cracked exe.

I really feel sorry for those people who actually uses BioWare points to buy PSPs and other kits and have their consumables wasted for nothing. To hell with comendation packs, BioWare owes us all an effing HUGE "I am sorry pack" with mass consumables and a couple of decent weapons to make up for all the times we used consumables and lost them from their "lost connection" fubar.

Can someone swallow their prided and call STEAM? Their stuff seems to actually work most of the time and the EA/BioWare devs seem to need a lot of hand holding.

I keep getting this after I installed the Extended cut DLC now I have super loading to connect to EA servers then more long waiting on the loading of DLC after that Single player works ok but every time I click on Multipayer the game goes into a 4 min loading screen... then when it hits the Prothy Particle Rifle announcement it looses connection to EA Servers.. then its back to super waiting for loading DLC... I tried to get it to go about 7 times before I got frustrated to the point of coming here and and venting my frustration to Bio or EA who ever has their servers for the game to fix this!! EA servers has a bad reputation of being the worst in gaming I want to think otherwise!

I noticed that its only the PC that has this problem I tried on PS3 and it worked fine no long waiting for loading of DLC and Connection to EA Servers!

I just dc'd, in the last 10s of the extraction phase of a game, I know it's only bronze but it's the freaking principle. Why, for the LOVE OF GOD WHY did you not just use steam, I could have had ALL 3 ME games on STEAM but no, you had to use crappy origin, with EA's awfull server tech. Bioware should have trusted valves tech for there first ME forray into MP becuase there stuff works and you don't need to worry about DC's and stuff, plus they have steam works and MOST PEOPLE USE STEAM!. I'm getting tired of every one and there aunt trying to start a Download servce, NOW i have Direct to drive (sorry gamefly) , Steam, Origin, Gamers gate, Amazon, etc. You all say how much you care about your customers but you clearly just care about the money, if you did, you would simply use one service for ease of use for us customers.

I am glad it's not just me getting fobbed off.  Just spent a week to'ing and fro'ing with EA tech support.  It IS NOT a problem at my end.  My husband plays online all the time (not ME3 incidentally, on Steam lol without ANY issues, no router ports open, no NAT forwarding).

I'm sick of them telling me to turn all my security off because Origin is f****n s****e  I have it disconnected currently because when I connect now, it downloads a file called "blacklist" to my Roaming profile which seems to stop me playing even SP version of ME3 and also problems with ME2 but EA say there are no issues with Origin or ME3 and my game logs don't show any disconnects...WTF?????   I haven't been able to get on at all the past week.  Forget the shop, it hangs then you lose everything.

Now, I have an appt with my therapist, not related to EA or Mass Effect in any way lol

I'm
recently having a problem of being disconnected from games as well. Now I was
disconnected several seconds before dust-off. This is really irritating because
I don't get my cobra missiles and other perks I've used back and I don't
get any XP nor credits that were earned during the match. If being
disconnected didn't mean you lose everything, maybe it wouldn't be as
frustrating.



Is there any way to appeal directly to EA? We've all paid this game to have fun in our leisure
time, not to be frustrated by unfinished piece of software.

Just throwing my observations in here:
Ever since I started Multiplayer back in March, I've had a low rate of disconnections. It happened occasionally, but infrequently, maybe 5% of the time, or less. Most of those were video card overheating related issues.
This week, I made sure all the dust was out and improved airflow in my system a bit. I also played a few matches to make sure my classes were Gold Ready this weekend, and I experienced frequent disconnections, somewhere around 50% of the rounds I tried, I would end up disconnected. Sometimes it was before I entered a match. One time it sent me back to the main menu to reconnect to the EA servers and re-verify my DLC. After waiting a minute at that screen, I pressed the connect button and the rest of the session worked flawlessly (I finished 2 matches).

I'd say I noticed this shift about 3 days ago, when this thread became active again.

[Voylodion]

I'm disconnectiong about 80% of the time, mid-game and lobby. My Drell and Asari Adept and my Krogan Vanguard biotic powers are not working. This Operation Weekend is looking like a complete failure for me.

Not a happy bunny.

[WoWLynnia]

Same thing's happening to me. Just got disconnected from EA servers mid-match during my last four Gold matches. I don't know how they can expect us to complete the allied goal this weekend if they can't even keep their servers stable.

[XTR3M3]

I wanted to get my commendation pack so I tried again this weekend.....what is happening now is one of my fingers wants to stick up all by itself every time I see the Origin icon in my task bar....I will let you guess which finger.

We should automatically get the victory pack because their servers are screwing up....again....it is probably the EACoreServer.exe software as well. When I get disconnected, trying to get into MP again just stays infinitely on the loading screen. I have to go into my task manager and end process on EACoreServer.exe and the MassEffect3.exe and then restart the game all over. Their servers also forget what permanent buff I have running as well...(the ones in the lower right corner that aren't consumable...the gear bonuses....and clears all of it out.

I can buy stuff just fine....there is a surprise. (with game earned credits of course. I would never waste real money on such a bugged program) I was also able to download the huge set of files to "fix install" at ridiculous MB/Sec speeds....I guess they bottled the MP server bandwidth and funneled it to the servers where people can buy stuff. Here is a clue EA.....people are going to quit buying stuff if you don't knock that crap off.

Yesterday I was able to finish 1 gold match on reapers cuz I wanted the packs. The victory pack should be just given to us now.

[Carcass_swe]

Same story here, never had an issue with mp until the extended cut dlc. Trying to get past a gold match to day is impossible, got dissconnected 3 time, rounds 7-10

[XTR3M3]

I know where the problem is in their software now. They have some bad code in the public MP that connects the host to the other 3 players. I can solo missions all day long with no disconnection issues at all but if I try and go public and play with other people.....BAM....."lost connection" message pops up. I played 6 solo missions in a row with no issues what-so-ever and then tried going into a public URG match and "lost connection" in the second wave.

I have tried everything they have suggested and more.

This is not a problem with our stuff, it is a problem with theirs. STEAM has games where there are way more than 4 people playing in a MP match and guess what? I never get disconnected. Can someone call the STEAM devs? or is this flawed MP software part of EAware's "artistic integrity" and can't be changed....only expanded on?

EDIT**
I just lost connection while soloing. They really need to call STEAM.

This is really quite a depressing thread. I googled my issues of "disconnections from EA servers on Mass Effect 3 PC" and basically it seems there's nothing I can do about this. I guess I'll be stuck at level 1 with 0 credits forever then. Looks like converting to the PC was a terrible idea.

I am going to try one last thing after this reinstall.
1. not downloading and installing the EC DLC and
2. playing a character without using some of the new weapons that EA got creative with to keep us from using them in SP. I am willing to bet their problem lies in either their security, the online only new MP weapons and their implementation or that annoying GR EMS.

[N7_Project_2501]

Hi,
In my opinion it is EA servers fault. Why? I've played multiplayer from beginning without any problems till last month when I've started to be "losing conection" sometimes. Then after picking up Victory Pack I was unable (and my friend too) to play 4 days. They fixed this but 2 days ago I've played Operation Broadside crew goal, succeeded. From this moment I'm unable to "see" my characters at multi. Game states that I'm "connected to EA servers" but when I click at Multiplayer game is loading few minutes then gives me a message that I've lost connection and once again reconnects with EA servers succesfully. I click at multi .... and the story goes again.
I think the server login auth is messed up. I hope they can fix if not they will lose another player.
My Origin ID: BartP2

EDIT: Funny thing is that right now I can connect to Multiplayer but don't have new weapons and characters from Rebellion and Retribution DLC's even the game states that all DLC's are OK (checked). So EA servers sucks. Oh! I forgot, I still can't play because after loading screen nothing happens. Sad EA, sad. You are killing the spirit of ME universe for good. The patience of players is ending. Sad for Shepard.

The number of times dropped by a broken EA server conection in a late wave or with less than 30 seconds from extraction are increasing. It is frustrating to be part of a squad that works well together and be dropped from the game just seconds prior to extraction .....or to have a team member dropped in the final seconds........or to have two or three of the squad listed as out ot the extraction area when everyone was inside the extraction zone. I even played one mission all the way through including safe/full extraction and then was not included as one of the four squad members listed in the mission summary. Also, are "single player missions" a part of the multiplayer game? I have had to start several missions as the only player - even on bronze it is tough to last more than a couple of waves at best as a single player. All of the dropped games and "dead quick alone" missions are hard on your equipment inventory and drain the enjoyment of the game pretty fast. Buying equipment just to give it up on the next "dropped" mission does not make happy customers.

To be fair to EA/BW, there are firewall issues in any network game. Routers and proxies complicate it greatly, many ISPs will not give out multiple IP addresses even for a fee. When a player goes outbound, there is no issue, the proxy or router can deal with that. When you are a host and players come inbound, things get complicated fast.

Their model for networking did not have to have a host in the config they used, but it saved THEM a lot of network and server load. It was much less expensive to create. This is not such a problem in a world where you can trust everyone, but millions of untrusted people kind of make it even more complicated for someone to host. This is probably one of the reasons their maps are limited to 4 people...traffic and other issues go up exponentially as you add more players.

Where BW/EA seem to be at fault is in not building their reliability layer on top of UDP better than they did. I do not believe they properly deal with lost packets, and especially truncated or fragmented packets (it would be much easier but the intermediate network devices all handle this differently and even their published programming interfaces are often wrong...detecting and dealing with truncation and fragmentation is far more of a problem than the books make it look). The other area they could have done better at is their handling of incompatible events...let's say a banshee sends an event to have her body disappear at the moment an event is sent for teleport from coordinate A to coordinate B...the fact that she can go from one place to another, but her body suddenly goes away tells me that they did not tie teleport event with the whole body reappearing...this is just plain silly when you know your network layer may cause an event to simply go away. Her reappearance in another location should force her body to initialize, period. The game seems to be full of places where single player is not an issue, but the glued on multiplayer does not account for what happens when pieces go away...back again to quitting too early on their network design.

[Drasynd]

I can join a game but within 1-2 minutes, guaranteed disconnect. It has been like this for the last 2 weeks. EA's "services" are completely useless, since they don't understand what they are reading.

So no operation for me, well no MP untill something get's fixed.
