 I do not like this post patch challenge of getting the game to start.

It either freezes when connecting to ea servers or just sits there forever.

Just got lockup number five as I type this.

I cleared the cache - got disconnected from XBox Live - but at least I managed to recover my game from yesterday. Just as well that I don't want to play MP at the moment.

I did the same, but wanted to play MP. thought I could trick it by applying the patch after canceling first, but no dice

There are workarounds to allow you to play multiplayer, but if the game is crashing on both discs you won't be able to play singleplayer at all.

I have tried every workaround mentioned in all the forums with no luck.

Screw "workarounds".

Nobody should have to pay out their hard earned cash only to have to wrestle with a game just to play it. Otherwise, what in the hell is the point of a Q.A. department?

No excuses. Period.

Sums up my feelings exactly.

...and for the record, (so their are no misunderstandings) my post was not directed at you in any way VonSlash - I know you were only trying to help.

I just think it places way too much onus upon the consumer, when the issue lies with the developer and publisher to release a fully working product. Otherwise, it's like buying a TV and being told that you can only get a picture on it if "you hold this wire coat hanger at a 65 degree angle whilst balancing a pineapple on your head, that should solve the problem".

Workaround worked once, now it crashed again. so I am supposed to delete patch everytime I try to play game? Gr8

Have they pulled this patch yet? If not someone really should until they fix it

I've been having the problem non-stop since 5:45 AM when it forced me
off Xbox live to download the patch. I have called EA 3 times now with
new info about the way it is failing at the checks. Please call EA at
(866) 543 5435 and give them details on your problems as I have. I will
go through the steps I have done so all of you can try and hope for
better results.

After every step I tried launching Mass Effect 3
to either get stuck in an eternal load loop or to outright freeze right
after the press start screen.
1: Delete system cache (This was done
after every time I started the game since the update has been the
obvious problem I wanted to test this in as many setups as I could.)
2: Delete online pass then re-download.
3: Remove game from HDD.
4: Deleted DLCs. (Both Resurgence and From Ashes.)
5: Tried both discs.
6: Removed profile then downloaded it from Xbox.
7:
Force the Xbox to re-sync to Xbox live by changing the date to
11/15/2005. (You have to be signed out to change the date and time)
8: Installed both discs to my HDD then retried with both discs.
9:
Downloaded the DLCs again then tried with my Ethernet unplugged.
(Worked to play single player but the moment you reconnect to Xbox live
you wither get load locked while connecting to Xbox live or sent to the
game start-up because of the sign-in change that has occurred.)
10: Tested my connection to Battlefield 3, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 1943. All perfect.
11: Received a new online pass from EA support. Did not solve the issue, just started freezing at a different screen.
12: Contemplated the fun of hitting something with a crowbar but then realized I didn't feel like going outside quite yet.
13: Glared at my frozen Xbox hoping it could sense my disappointment of the update.
14: Ate an ice cream sandwich and came to the forums to report the fun I have been having since 5:45 AM CST.

So
the last 3 we're not anything technical but they did make me ok with
the situation for the time. Just remember folks. This is not an issue
with connecting to EA servers. This issue with the with the checks the
game does of your EA server connection, downloaded content, save games,
then EA server connection again. I have had it actually connect to EA
so I could see my Galaxy at war readiness but had a load loop of
"Checking downloadable content" overlaying my "Resume game; New game;
Load game; Multiplayer; Download Content" menu list so I was unable to
hit anything besides my Microsoft button and inevitably, dashboard.


NOTE: While I do seem to be a very unlucky person most people on my friends list by sheer repetition are able to eventually get past these checks and log on to play both Singleplayer or Multiplayer so keep giving it a try. I hope at some point I can get to play my Geth Hunter some more.

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

Hobo Life, i'm sorry you had to go thru that circus of horrors - and all for nothing too. I feel your pain.
