[Note: I'm not just talking about just me being disconnected, I'm talking about anybody and everybody in the match.]

[Note: I'm piping my internet (AT&T dry loop DSL Elite speed) directly into my PS3.  NAT Type 1 wired connection.]

[Note: I forgot to mention store-related disconnects and hanging up on the "waiting for other players" screen while waiting for the scoreboard to display leaving you no choice but to exit the lobby.]

[Note: Let me emphasize that I play this infernal game constantly, so my sample size is enormous.]

As for me, since installing the new DLC, and most often when I'm playing Platinum difficulty, I'm experiencing disconnects (call them what you will) EVERY SINGLE GAME.

It doesn't seem to matter if I'm hosting or not, so my AT&T DSL internet doesn't seem to be the culprit.

1) Right as we are entering the match after loading screen, "YOU HAVE LOST CONNECTION TO THE MASS EFFECT 3 TITLE".  Everybody gets kicked.  Have to re-enter multiplayer, re-create the lobby and start all over.

2) At least one player per match gets disconnected and you have to invite them back in.  This typically happens repeatedly during any given match. 

These problems have become so frequent and chronic recently that it's becoming almost impossible to play and enjoy the game.  I say this as one who has spent a ridiculous amount of time playing ME3MP since day 1, so I'd like to think I'm not talking completely out of my rear end.

So my usual question applies- am I alone?  Am I the only one who is now experiencing repeated disconnects almost EVERY SINGLE GAME?

Since I upgraded to the next higher tier of cable internet a month ago I've only been dropped 2 or 3 times.

[iLemonDemon]

Haven't been disconnected even once yet.

Once a week, maybe. Would never dream of complaining about that. And I play a lot.

[Dynamik78]

once in a while but it's enormously frustrating when you have used consumables to succeed; and puts me in a bad mood

[dzero]

75% of the time I try to buy something in the store.

[waltervolpatto]

Like 4 times a month?

I'm wired, Xbox and AT&T...

Everyday, yesterday I went 5 matches in a row without it. When I came back after lunch, that is when it went down hill. It is definitely not on my end.

[RoZh2400]

Yesterday, I played about 8 or 9 games. I disconnected no less than 5 times.

[THEEAV3NG3R]

I have never been disconnected.

[Brakensiek]

Forwarded a few ports a few weeks ago that virtually eliminated my disconnections however since the recent update it is back. Today I was disconnected four times within one hour.

Very irregularly. Occasionally I'll hit the disconnect from store issue. Once or twice in the past week I've been disconnected mid-game.

Otoh, I play regularly with someone who has more regular disconnects but it seems to be a problem on his end.

[Captain Funky Blimp]

Losing-my-mind bump.

[dysturbed0ne]

My experience.......cable internet + wired ps3 = very few disconnects (1 out of 40 maybe)

Son's experience....same cable internet + wireless ps3 = more frequent disconnects (1 out of 8 or so)

My son has started using his wired computer connection for his ps3 when playing, and his DC's have dropped significantly.

Edit: I haven't had the store problem since the patch.

I used to have numerous disconnect issues - found out if was my router - replaced, now hardly ever happens

I have a wired connection on my PC, and I've been disconnected mid-game about 2 maybe 3 times total. I've been playing since the day 1 of the demo. I don't often see other people leaving the game, and it's not clear as to why they left the game, just that they did it.

I did do a bit of testing, and it seems that the EA server is very quick to drop your connection if there's a break in communication(It takes about 1.5-2 seconds, so a lag spike could easily cause it). This was a while ago, so they could have updated things since then.

I have noticed lately that I've gotten some pretty big lag spikes without dropping though. Usually they result in me being dead via sync kill by the time my client is done catching up, though.

PS3 here. Nat Type 2 wireless connection. Husband also runs the same thing on his PS3 and we are often online playing at the same time.

I have experienced more server disconnects (that affect entire room) since the DLC, but it's not at some terrible level for me.

Back in March/April, it was pretty bad. I would get awful lag/framerate drops, often get stuck on "waiting for other players", trying to purchase a SP in the store would stick me on an endless "Please Wait" screen, and joining a friend's room (or vice versa) was a complete gamble (more often than not, I'd get stuck on an endless "joining session" screen). I definitely experienced random disconnects from the server mid-game as well.

Things have massively improved for me through no effort on my part. Joining friends' rooms (and vice versa) is flawless, "waiting for other players" limbo is now rare, pack purchases appear to be running smoothly, etc. Just a great, overall imporvement.

However, at least once a day since the latest DLC, I get the "You have lost your connection to the ME3 Servers" boot. It seems to vary 50/50 as to whether only I get booted or the whole room does. For me, it ALWAYS happens if we are loading up a brand-new match (i.e. not mid-game). Two examples:

1. This past Saturday, my husband set up a private bronze lobby. He sent me an invite. I accepted it, waited for the PS3 to turn the 2-minute cartwheel it does to join a frickin' room, chose my character, then waited on the load screen. After the load screen, instead of joining the game already in progress (I could hear him shooting things in the next room), I got the "disconnected from servers" error and told him why he'd have to re-invite me. He was not affected, just me. This was my first game of the day.

2. Yesterday morning, two of my girl friends were online and messaged me to play. I set up a private silver lobby, invited them in, then opened the fourth slot to public. We readied up, went to load screen, then I got the "disconnected from servers" error. Shortly after, I received messages from my two friends saying they got that message, too. So, the whole room got borked. My first match of the day. Again. I re-set the room, re-invited them in, re-opened fourth slot to public. That second attempt went off without a hitch.

i experience a DC every 1-4 gaming hours. 70-80% of the time it is DC from the whole service and i hear from the host everyone got it, so maybe some regions of the world are frowned upon by EA servers... i demand compensation.

Disconnect bump.

[GGW KillerTiger]

Depends on the weather if my connection is bipolar or not

[ChickenDownUnder]

About once every eight matches.

[Foxtrot813]

Very infrequent, to the point of not being able to give you an accurate number. I will say though, when I DO get disconnected, it almost always happens on Wave 10 or 11, which is infuriating and has actually made me stop playing for the day a couple times.

[soultaker65]

I have good days and bad days. On good days one or no disconnection, on bad days once every 20 minutes. I play with a wireless connection so that may be my problem.

Also, my connection just cut out for like 2-3 seconds so most of my disconnections are on my side.

Once or twice a month at most. I see it happen to others more often than me. I will have issues with my console freezing up sometimes. It happens once in a while, but when it does, its a few times every time I play. I also have experienced this on my PS3.

[Fliprot]

I get disconected on 50% of games.

I ussually go play something else.
