A little bit miffed at the moment to be honest.

New DLC and patch 1.3 installed fine, lots of additions and fixes - which are great. But I still cannot play MP above bronze difficulty on MP because the game still disconnects me after almost exactly 20mins every single time. The only reason bronze works is because bronze matches rarely - if ever - last 20mins, the few times they have I've been disconnected.

I was really hoping this was one of the things the patch had addressed, as the forums have been full of people with the same issue since launch. I actually didn't have the problem initially, the first month or so was absolutely fine, didn't have a problem. But soon after patch 1.2 (I think, may just be coincidence) MP became virtually unplayable because of these random disconnects. I hadn't even attempted a silver match in the last 3-4 weeks because of how predictable it had become that I'd be disconnected with 20 seconds to go on the final wave.

I really hope someone from BioWare will see this and at least give some kind of acknowledgement - I am certain this is not on my end, no other games or programs are having connection issues, nor has anything changed since it was working fine nearer launch. Just look at the other posts in the forums for more evidence.

Either way, this is ridiculous now - I really enjoy multiplayer ME3 but it's just not practical to play anymore.

This patch made my disconnect issues much worse, actually. Usually, I can play private games with friends and disconnect at most once. I still lose credits gained up to the disconnect, but I can sort of deal with that. Now I'm disconnecting at least twice over the course of a twenty minute game. This was not so earlier this week, where I might go five games without a connection loss.

Bad enough in private matches, but at least you can rejoin. Playing a public game it's near impossible to rejoin - especially when it happens in the final wave, which it almost always does.

BioWare implemented this new AFK system which is good, but they still haven't managed to find a way to at least award a cut of money and xp earned before being disconnected. I know it's supposed to stop gold farmers and the like, but it feels like punishing the many to target the few, which is especially irritating when it's their problem causing it.

Lol gold farmers? - host can exit and rejoin his own game one time, and still get ALL credits. Players should be-able to exit and rejoin the game an still get ALL credits on finish too.

It should just give you what you earned period.

But than again they can't even fix the issues their patch says it will, so i really wouldn't expect anything from them in general BAD company, BAD game. Several hours after the /fail patch no /new patch to fix anything - just /incompetent they truly have no idea what their doing.

Do you have this problem when downloading files that take more than 20 minutes? See if you can try to download a 1GB test file, and at the 20min mark see if the downloading rate drops

No problem downloading or even uploading files, no issues on other games either, purely ME3 MP. It's like clockwork, nothing I can find to fix it.

I didn't have connection issues before the patch. Now I get disconnected quite frequently. I get an error that says I lost connection to the Mass Effect 3 servers and then I can't log into Origin and Mass Effect 3 for a couple of minutes.

It could have been bad luck because it only happened last night. I'll play again today and see if the problem still exists.
