Just trying to find out if this is a general problem affecting lots of users. Despite playing numerous online games without issue, Mass Effect 3 seems to frequently disconnect me from the game, and I know of one other user experiencing the same. Traditionally, the disconnect occurs in Round 10 (but can be earlier), and the most "amusing" was with the escape countdown timer at 0:00.

The problem of disconnects is a worry and an annoyance, but the treatment of items used and credits gained is what is truly frustrating.

If you have used items prior to a connection issue, their usage is maintained and they appear to be gone. Credits used to purchase them are gone too, obviously.

If you have gained credits or experience prior to the connection issue, these are not maintained. They are gone.

Whatever you gained is lost. Whatever you used is lost. Lose lose. Getting to round 10 can take around 20 minutes, so there's also the time you've lost as well. If I was daft enough to purchase kit with real money and lose that kit in a round, you could consider it real money loss as well.

So, firstly, how many others are affected? Are there plans for a multiplayer patch to fix the disconnect? Are there plans to fix the multiplayer so that consistency is applied: what you use is lost and what you gain is kept. As it stands now, the multiplayer can be a massive slap in the face to complement a real kick in the teeth.

Further information: initially concerned that it may be my own connection, I have tried numerous router resets, PS3 restarts and more. All other online games currently tried work without fail.

In many ways, I love the idea of a collectible card-style unlock system, even if I've only really got a stack of shotguns I'll never use. However, for the CCG-style to work, there has to be a more reliable way to earn credits in the game. One more disconnect and this is getting binned...

Found a similar thread in the multiplayer discussion area, but don't have access to reply there I think. Iniital issue was connection to *anything* but later posts in the thread convert to the problem of disconnecting part-way through a game. In fact, many players are discussing the Round 10 disconnect, which is swiftly becoming the Round 5 disconnect...

I love the Mass Effect games, and Bioware rock, but this is a bit pap, and I may be abandoning the multiplayer until something changes.

Also, for anyone with a certain amount of compulsive desire for tidiness that sees this post and thinks it's in the wrong place, feel free to chuck it all in the multiplayer connection issues thread - I can't myself.

I'm finding the same issue.
But it's not a round disconnection. It happens randomly and very frequent.
and the thing is you lose all the credits and XP which sucks, cos you end up wasting a lot of time.

Sounds like you want the ME3 multiplayer forum, mate. Three boards up, fourth forum down.
