We're getting closer - Couple additional questions:

#1. Does switching connection method get you to connect to EA Servers (IE, if you're on wireless and you go wired does it work or viceversa)?

#2. If this does/doesn't work can you use speettest.net - ping the closest location to you and post the location used/upload speed/download speed?

You've all been great in assisting us with our investigation and we hope to have a solution ASAP!




*Update*

We have narrowed down this issue but are still looking for some answers from those encountering this issue. If you are still crashing please answer the following:

Which Country/City are you in?
When you crash/lockup are you able to press the Xbox main button to bring up the dashboard?
When you crash/lockup are there any animations still playing/text scrolling/anything moving on the screen?
If you unplug your ethernet cable are you able to continue into single player?
______________________________________________________________________________

We are aware of the issues people are having when connecting to the EA Servers.

We are currently investigating this and if this issue is happening to you it would be greatly appreciated if you could post in this thread with the following information:

- Origin ID
- Gamertag
- Have you modified any files within the Xbox previous to the patch installation (SP or MP)?
- Did you notice any odd behavior/flow when installing the patch?
- What time did you start crashing?
- Are you still crashing (please check right before you post)?

We are aware that some users are getting back in and we are monitoring this very carefully. If there is something you feel is relevant to our investigation that you encounter please post it.

Regards,

Thomas Abram

- As soon as I patched. I think around 10am Pacific.
- Yes. As soon as I get to the "Connecting to EA servers" part of the main screen (before I even have the option of choosing multiplayer, single player, etc.) my Xbox 360 completely freezes. I have to hard reboot it. Eventually it works (sometimes only takes 1 reboot, sometimes more), but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it works and when it freezes my 360.

I believe I may have found a possible fix.
This has worked for 4 other people whom I sent a message to telling them how to do it.

No

*Insert Disc 1 or 2
*Play The Game
*Download Patch
*Restart Xbox
*Remove the Cache by heading to System > Memory > Pressing Y
*Insert Disc 1
*Play Game
*Download Patch
*Restart Xbox if it does not work, and repeat.

This did not work for my friend, so he tried using Disc 1 and then Disc 2 instead.
This has also worked when I restarted the game.

Could not connect to EA server (froze) earlier but just got in - problem started around 6:00 pm maybe? But the issue was probably going on before I tried to login the first time.

I've not modded any files.
I did not notice any odd issues during patching.
I started crashing immediately after the patch, approximately around 5:00pm EST. After 3 reboots, I was able to get in and play about 5 games. Game froze during one game, end of wave 9.
I'm now crashing every time I open ME3. Unable to play SP or MP. Crashed during "connecting to EA servers".

- No mods/pirating/etc. Installed the Resurgence pack last night and I have the Collector's Edition stuff downloaded as well.
- Nope, I installed it, it played perfectly. Then I turned off my Xbox, turned it back on and it froze at the connecting to EA pop-up thing
- I guess 12 - 2ish pm (Eastern time)
- YEEESSSS ;___; I tried disc 2, playing under a diff profile and then switching to mine, and other stuff...it won't play.

Well, I got past the EA server login part, and now I'm in the multiplayer menu awaiting my friend's game invite.

So far so good. For any who haven't tried it yet, don't just clear your cache. Try deleting the multiplayer update pack as well and redownloading it too.

If the crash happens to me again, I'll post all of my info.

Time: When I downloaded the patch, it was working, then when I turned the game off and tried to play Mass Effect again, it was stuck on the "Connecting to EA Servers". Since then I tried to restart the game multiple times to no avail.

- Have you modified any files within the Xbox previous to the patch installation (SP or MP)?
> If by modified you mean using some external program to get a more customized Shepard or something like that, no. I was playing a MP match, got booted for the update, patched, tried to start ME3, Xbox locked up, did a hard restart and played 1 MP match, watched some vids on Netflix, properly powered down Xbox for a few hours, turned on Xbox and now continuously locks.
- Did you notice any odd behavior/flow when installing the patch?
> No, patch was quick and steady.
- What time did you start crashing?
> First was immediately after patch around 11 A.M. Eastern time today. Constant lock on start up started around 7 P.M. Eastern time.
- Are you still crashing (please check right before you post)?
> After changing discs it did not lock up however, this is supposedly only a temporary fix.
