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.
So it is from the word of EA that for some reason people are failing a check during connection?
Like you'll see if posted before, I felt that was a part of the issue, but I still don't understand why swapping the discs for myself (and a few others) would solve this issue.
I didn't call EA myself as I've tried that before and it can be.....an aggravating experience even for simple issues(which this one is not)
Edit* Also your issue is not the same as mine or others from I gather, Once I can get past the point where it has been freezing I can jump around from SP to Multiplayer, edit guns, spend points buy packs etc
