...So I have to reconnect to access online features of the title.

Got this message EVERY time I booted up ME3 today so I can't play the new DLC, anyone else had issues?

[Mesdalla]

I have a same problem, I can not access the multiplayer, so I can not access the new dlc. And seeing the support that gives Bioware, will go for a while. I'll have to see if it works the Russian server, to play as if it were the original and pirated game being paid.

It is what it is, do not bother to have claimed once the job is done even if I have flaws and are not solved but provide even more bugs with updates.

Yupp, i know what you mean. Try using the "connect to ea server" button below the galaxy map. It usually works after some tries. took me sometimes 5 or more tries but eventually I could connect

I tried that once but no joy, i'll do what you suggested and try it a few times. Cheers!

Got the disconnection 2 times in a row, hopefully I hadn't equipped consumables and was soloing, but I've wasted a couple of medgels in the process... please do something about the servers.
And if you can't, then please BioWare can you make it so that we get the consumables back ? Or get to the "end game" screen, with XP and credits we got so far ? The first game disconnected on wave 2 so no big deal but the second game disconnected on wave 9... lost 1 medgel + 3 missiles
Kinda unfair that we lose the consumables but get no XP or credits or challenge points.

Anyway, off to bed ; hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

I haven't been able to connect to ME3 servers in two days and none of my dlc will authorize so my SP mode is screwed up. Kinda pissed about it.

Hehe. Try getting into an online match. The transitioning between the menus takes a ridiculous amount to load because the game has to connect to the EA server every god damn time. It's ****ing terrible.

I haven't been able to connect for 2 monthes, I'm not sure but the only thing that stops me from connecting is that it says I do not have from ashes dlc but I do and it just won't work, I believe thing else thats free works, but I just haven't been able to connect to ea

[sirjimmus86]

Can't connect either, PC player in UK.

Tried about 5 times then had to stop as its very frustrating.

[sirjimmus86]

Any posters here previously managed to get it working yet? Or just waiting for a fix from above?

[Shepardess]

ditto with this issue - also in the UK. It's driving me nuts :s

[Atheist Knight]

The connection issues are really annoying, Ireland player here.

[Nuranin]

I am not able to connect for three days now....at the beginning I was still able to enter the multiplayer menu (but not to start a game without disonnect) but now there is not server connection at all (repair install/uninstall, reinstall doesn`t work).
German player here.

[sirjimmus86]

Now up to 3 days unable to connect.

This is looking more and more like a European problem affecting PC players, anyone disagree?

[sirjimmus86]

4 days and counting.

Going to miss out collecting reward for operation as well now it seems.

Got an e-mail from EA saying they haven't heard from me for a while, please go and review your case online.

I went to review it - there is nothing there except to say I am having a problem with ME3 Digital Deluxe Edition, so I filled out in the note exactly what is going on and what I have tried so far.

Heres to hoping.

[sirjimmus86]

Hmmm it seems they extended the time to collect packages at least, perhaps someone saw my post earlier about it.

[Tintellaar]

I have never played the game as the 'connecting to ea servers' dumps to 'cannot connect to ea servers' and the screen freezes - gotta use task manager to end the program! This is since install! UHG... I 'almost' bought some of the DLC's but hell no! Not till I can at lease play the freeking game as is! I did not have any such problems with ME2, what a waste...

[undergroundlich]

I can connect sometimes to the Mp character main menu screen but then if i join a match or go on on store loses connection EVERYTIME and i'm stuck at the slow crap main menu screen !

[MassStorm]

It's is almost a month i'm not able to connect to EA servers. This is strange because before September i was able to connect without problems (same PC same internet connection) and now not a single time. Tried to do everything that was suggested without success. Doubt it is a problem on my side since i can use Steam without problem. European player here

[RainbowDazed]

During the last five days I've had multiple disconnects from the EA servers. Today I was in wave 8 or 9 and had used missiles, medigels and consumables in the process and then got kicked out. This wouldn't bother me if it happened once a month but once a day is just too much. Often with the crash I get a notification that my Origin account is logged in on another computer and I have to log in again.

Also, another thing that frustrates me are the insanely long loading times on PC. I can't make purchases at the store between matches because the store loads so long. And every time I launch the game connecting to EA and checking DLC takes few minutes.

I get that you want people to be logged on all the time for online verification. But please, get your **** together Bioware. I haven't downloaded an illegal copy of any game in more than a decade but these verification-systems really make me want to try out different cracking softwares to make the game run smoother. It frustrates me that by doing the right thing and paying for my products I get stuck with half-assed verification systems that suck the fun out of gaming.

Rant ends here.

Everyone who mentioned where they're having problems from has happened to be in Europe, it might be a coincidence though.

Bioware seriously need to sort this out though, any chance there was of me paying money for extra DLC is definitely NOT going to happen if it keeps failing to recognize my current DLC as well as failing to connect to EA servers EVERYTIME I log into the game.

I love this franchise and i'll only play it on my pc, please get this sorted Bioware.

[TheEgoRaptor]

Haven't been able to get on in close to 3 months now. I've sent multiple emails to both Bioware and Origin support with absolutely no results. Not one of my message got a reply.

[Colonel Grayson]

Similar issues, ever since the last patch I've been unable to sign into ME3 from my main computer, I've tried everything their tech support had me do and it didn't fix it, Works fine from another machine in the house that never had ME3 installed before. So maybe I have to do a rebuild, but it was working FINE before the last patch. Now got disconnected on wave 10 of gold round sigh. time wasted with EA servers and Origin unable to connect.

[Geakker]

Also EU player here.

I have had similar issues from the start. Only with a lot of patience I can play multiplayer these days. In the first months everything was ok except the shop which got fixed. But now I always fail to connect to the Mass Effect 3 server if I don't do the following things:

1. Open a lot of ports suggested in the Mass Effect 3 Origin Troubleshooting guide.
3. Get rid of my save files and disable cloud storage in Origin.
2. Restart my PC.
3. Open my task manager and disable all unnecessary processes and services. Including any kind of non Windows Update Managers and the Windows Firewall.
4. Disable several processes of my antivirus.
5. Keep my PC up to date.
6. Start Mass Effect 3 and nothing else.

After you have to wait the usual long time (but still ridiculous long time) to authorize your DLC's/connect to the Server there is still a chance you fail to connect. Repeat and if you are lucky you get connected and you can finally join the multiplayer of the game.

I can't tell you what exactely causes these problems so I do all these stesps everytime I want to play ME3 multiplayer.

I am not an network expert but these troubles are not what people should have to go through.
It may be that the networking of the EA/Mass Effect 3 server is completely user-unfriendly or the problem occurs because there is only one overloaded US server, not capable to support so many costumers which drops conection requests if it takes too long to connect.

The second assumption would make sense if there is a huge amount of EU players who have this issue. For me this issue is getting worse in peak times like weekend events or now after the new challenge system has been implemented which seems to attract more people to play ME3.

What ever it is I am convinced that EA has to pay someone to improve the networking of this game. This is killing the game for a lot of people and if I wouldn't be so addicted to it I would have moved on a long time ago.

EDIT: I reinstalled Origin and Mass Effect 3 several times but it didn't seem to fix anything so I gave up on that time consuming task.
