Yeah, like I said, its a "fix" for "most"of the time (very very loose definition of the words fix and most). There hasn't been an actual solution posted by anyone that I know of that actually works for most people.

it's actually not most of the time anymore the reported fix has failed for multiple people here. Just pointing that out. Also EA has issued contradictory support response to the one staed by bioware in the MP thread.

What I meant is that the "fix" seems to have worked for me "most" of the time as long as I avoid peak hours. It is by no means a reliable solution in any real way, but it was something to try that had at least some effect on my connection problems.

you know it could be that bioware has
not added enough network bandwidth and or memory to it;s master server
and it cant handle the numbers of players connecting. too many
authentication requests from clients to a poorly configured master
server with limited bandwidth could essentially do the same thing as a
DDOS attack and bump people off

i would actually think that this is probably the issue, a similar situation happened with BFBC 2 around release

I would guess this is probably the issue, especially since connection issues and lag are MUCH worse during peark hours/days.

Ah i see i can agree with this ^^

For the love of gaming...please add ping times to the game lobby.
Knowing if a server is pinging at 500ms + means I do not have to suffer 20 minutes of lag related rage.

[Woffen5]

I would love to jump back into the MP again, but with all the disconnects its just not happening....
There is no point wasting my time for nothing

[HaGGiE5]

Just lost 69700 credits after a gold mission. My 1st...
The server glitched and was falling through the terrain, and when the game rehosted, it went ****** up.
FIX THE BLOODY GAME FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really pissed off now the server is so laggy it is a unplayable. PLayed online games for 6years and this is the worst service ever provided. Never buying an EA game that needs connection to their servers or Origin again. Going back to steam and Wow at least they work. Goodluck EA time I took up cricket less frustrating and more fun than your pile of junk. So to recap SO ANNOYED!!

I can only play multiplayer if I restart or turn on my computer fresh and the first thing I click is origin and I have to run as administrator. Sometimes that doesn't work so I have to either turn off the virus scanner or the firewall. I can play a few games via quick match, but eventually I stop being able to search for random games. Then I have to start hosting games. Eventually I will disconnect everyone else in the game and be the only player in the game and I have to restart my computer again and go through the process of trying to figure the gimmick to get multiplayer to start again.

Oh yeah and I also have the problem with the store not giving me the packages and just taking credits :/

Did you recently install that 26MB patch? Because since then I've been having that issue too.

Messing around for 1hr and can't even play one game without a hitch. Master server must have a bandwidth the size of a pinhead. With everything into consideration, ME3 MP was announced as side thing in addition to the single player game so I suspect supporting a dedicated master server is probably not in their best interest.

[stjabr]

The game is now unplayable, and I'm starting to suspect the patch mentioned above, timing of the issues restarting for me was around the time I installed the patch. Who knows though.
Either way, in the last week and a half I've attempted maybe 9 games. 8 of these have dropped out at wave 9 or later, 3 in wave 11 with less than 30 seconds remaining, most near the end of wave 10, all on silver difficulty.
The only game I've managed to "finish" was a game I hosted in which the entire squad got killed half way through wave 10. Immediately started new game with same team, and within the first 2 minutes (first wave) the entire team mysteriously disappeared, apparently losing connection to me.
These games were at various times - some peak for UK time, some peak for US time, others in the morning during off peak hours for both time zones, so I don't believe that this is only an issue at peak times, although it may be worse then for some I'm sure.
People have already mentioned these disconnects seem to happen in sequences, I'm not sure what other people's experiences are exactly but my connection seems to perform a disconnect/reconnect every 20 minutes almost to the second as far as I can tell, very little if any variation.
What the hell happened to the Bioware of old? The multiplayer is great when it works - which it doesn't anymore. Even just an acknowledgement of some sort would be a start.

Does the new fix resolve anything on the wave 10/11 disconnects?

Unfortunately not - had a couple more disconnects this morning on final waves, including one that occurred in the few seconds between wave 11 ending and loading the mission debriefing screen - frustrating as hell.

I have managed to finish a few games recently, but only by sticking to bronze difficulty and hoping the match lasts less than 20mins. The few that have lasted that long have disconnected, as above. Bronze is still fun and all that, but it's a bit of a grind now - nothing like as challenging and the rewards come very slowly, going to take a hell of a long time to unlock anything good at this rate.

I don't feel so bad now about disconnecting at Wave 3 every $%#&#@ time... assuming I can even get into a match in the first place.

possibly the worst multiplayer experience i had ever in all the games i played. all they do is promoting the multiplayer to the world but in reality their servers suck big time.

i guess bioware had lost their senses, all they do care now is their collaboration with EA, not us the fans (ex-)

You have to be kidding me, BioWare. TEN seconds left in a gold match, and you decide to crap out on the server, again?

Thanks. Sure am glad that I paid for this.

[HaGGiE5]

I still fail to understand why the game matching service thinks it is a good idea to put me in servers half way around the globe.
Massive fail.

[HaGGiE5]

What the hell did they do to this game.
Utterly unplayable now.
Massive amounts of lag.
Grenades do not get re equiped.
Turrents do not deploy, or deploy several seconds after you press the deploy key.
And constantly being put in severs at least 10000 miles from my location.

Reminds me of why I stopped playing a certain other game with the same sort of match making service.
It just did not work.
And it still does not.

I was just thinking to my self "huh, I dont know what these guys are on about, I havent had any problems" (i hadnt played for a week) and then in the space of 5 minutes i had two disconnects.. both on wave one.. and those game were so laggy it took a full 3 seconds for the XP to come up after i shot something in the face. I am so glad the DiabloIII is coming in a week and a bit out so i wont have to waste my time on this lag fest piece of ****. im thinking i might reinstall WoW just to play for the next week

Edit: so i thought.. MP isnt working ill do some SP. Apparently not because now i dont have "From Ashes" installed so i cant play SP either.... WTF. remind me why i bought this game again?

I had the same issue with SP - put Origin in offline mode and you can play SP.  How stupid that you have to do this?!

[HaGGiE5]

It just gets worse.
Now Orgin will not even log in.

Well done E.A, you have done it again. ...... sigh.
Time to look for another game to play. I am about done with this crap fest.

[HaGGiE5]

Holy crap.. Now it says I need to buy an online pass to play multiplayer.
I thought I had done that.
No way in ******* hell I am paying Bioware again.
Screw this!
I am about done now.
I will not let the door let my butt on the way out of the building.

wait you use PC don't you? We we don't require online Passes. ? or at least that's what i thought they said Since our games have to be registered with Origin. Well.... Nice Job Bioware Edmonton. Went from great studio to this.

[Gavrilo]

im think im gona quit mp for good of my nerves,servers down without knowing,bugged store taking my creds not giving packs,no respawn from officials on this forum,that would say what they plan,on what they work,when they gona fix damn problems,bugs issues,i feel like we(players) are left to help eachother

[Agent Who]

Another cute thing, if your hosting a game, get dropped and rejoin, you still get FULL credit, if your not the host and rejoin, 0 credit. How does this make sense? - it sure as heck isn't fair, and it don't seem like it should be a very hard step to give non-host players credits for what they have earned, especially since it can ALREADY remember the hosts credits on a rejoin..

Just started to get dropped by EA yesterday hard to make it through 1 full match, sent back to main menu again and again . - Internet working fine! .................

Almost as annoying as this issue, the one where you can't join friends games or mic with them randomly, because EA servers decides that interaction through Me3 between you is forbidden. Having to use a 3rd party friend to game with other friends is stupid, then can't hear them on mic. /rage - nothing changed on their pc or mine... Just EA severs of fail.
