The Retaliation MP pack has broken the game

Hi all, just wanted to mention some problems I've experienced with the new Retaliation Multiplayer pack.

As a disclaimer, only earlier today I was playing online (prior to downloading the new MP pack), with the latest patch and everything was pretty much buttery smooth.

In matches I am getting constant sound drop-outs. No music, no sound effects (gun shots, enemy 'noises', etc). Only sporadically does a gun make a noise, or the 'announcer' saying something such as "squad member in trouble".

The new Collector enemies are also far too hard and are very glitchy. Before people come in here and say "learn to play better", I regularly play on Gold difficulty and fare well against every other enemy faction. The Collector's however seem punishingly hard just for the sake of it.

Edit: After playing against other enemies, the other factions are also much harder. Why have you done this Bioware? The game was fine as is.

I've had new sound problems after the DLC too, everything seemed muffled and there were no sound effects apart from the odd bit of dialogue. It cleared up within a few waves, but then the framerate dropped to the point I was watching a slide show and getting killed every wave, unable to help my team mates.

Silver is feeling more like Gold now :/

+1 for sounds problems. But that's the only complaint I'd make about the DLC, which is awesome.

Well, before the retaliation DLC i never had any problems with the game, worked perfect in single and multiplayer. After the new DLC the game started to freeze on my ps3 like crazy, and only hard resets worked to get off the freeze screen. I got once the sound bug Vashetti describes and some gun bug as well, where you cant reload your gun even from ammo boxes on the cenario or even from my iventory. I don't know, i think this DLC have added great stuff but got some weird bug on it as well...
P.S: sorry about my english. It's not my default language.

Same problem. Ever since Retaliation my online experience has been terrible. Extreme lagging and dropping out of matches regularly.

The collectors aren't a pushover.

Exact same problems. This used to be my favourite online game and now its just painfully frsutrating. I cant play a match in peace as i either lose connection with the match or im jsut worried that I will.
And before my connection is accused, its innocent. I have no problems with my interent, its always the servers.
What in the hell is going on, its unacceptable and I have a feeling EA is to blame...

only sparingly get the gun bug and sound drop out. i dont lag out or anything because i use ethernet,(smart solution) and the collectors are very difficult, dont know why, belive its cause the collector captain's possession rate on gold. Its astonishgly high.

Anyone wanna play Gold with a pro havoc player. add me: Psn: Darkredemption12

Still having lots of game-breaking bugs and glitches.

Latency is also a big problem. Internet connection isn't to blame (play over Ethernet) as I play other online games and they are fine.

Same here. I've also been having freezing issues; I'll make it to the last wave without a problem, then five seconds later it freezes and I'm forced to restart my PS3. It's annoying as hell.

I'm having a lot of problems as well. I have lost connection six times in the last day and it's always towards the end of a mission. It really sucks because that 20 minutes of game play was wasted and I'm getting really frustrated. I may have to step back from the game and not play for a bit. There are also instances of extreme lag, to the point that the timer at the end of the mission is taking ten seconds to go one. It's jumping and glitchy. The sound randomly also has the bug described. And randomly, the game is skipping the screen telling you the rankings and medals you achieved and throwing me into the beginning of another mission where I'm frozen in place. I've seen enemies frozen in the air other players stuck as well. Yes, we had some of these glitches before. It's mulitplayer online, we will have a few, but this is too much.

I assume this just affects MP, right?

Adding new enemies has made it harder, Geth bombers, Cerberus vanguards, and those explosive Collector husks!!!
I've noticed a higher occurrence of disconnection errors, and the "waiting for other players" after extraction.

Yeah, these are some of the major issues I've been having too. Very, very irritating. Makes you want to put the game down.

Please sort it out Bioware!

Yeah, it's only affecting multiplayer and my internet is fine so it's not that.

I was just about to start a topic about the very same thing but this seems as gooder place as any. It is like the whole game has reverted back to day one...constant disconnects, bull about problems with connecting to the ME Server, jumping and lagging really badly in game, skills don't work most of the time, evading enemies only to have them pull you back to them so they can finish the job (sounds like cheats to me they should get the ban hammer), slower loading times, straight up freezing (requiring forced resets which make players very angry as it damages the system), bullets often fail to connect with the enemy even though they hit them. Edit: Forgot waiting for players every match. -.-

The sad thing is i can probably think of more but i think you get the picture. It is a very serious and has made me move on to other games for the time being as i can put up with the lag in small doses. I imagine others will do the same so it costs you in the long run if it takes as long as it did to fix these problems the first time.

:whistle: <_< -_-

Yes, forced resets. I know another friend is having these issues too. It's good to know it's not just me. I'm currently 'waiting for other players...' Sigh.

I've been having all these same problems. I play on PS3 and ME3 is literally the only game I've ever owned on this system that causes it to freeze.

Holy crap it has gotten really bad! I just played about 8 games in multi since my post and every single one was laggy as hell. The final game which just threw me over the edge waited till wave 11 before becoming really crazy so much so that extraction took 28 min i kid you not. For a 2 min round that is beyond a joke! I nearly broke my damn modem when it finally finished and said f you for sticking around so long you have been disconnected from the ME server. (Not those words but you get my meaning) grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Words cannot express my annoyance right now. How any DLC can f up this badly is beyond me.

Also the MP is occasionally causing the PS3 to crash, requiring a hard-reset.

This wasn't just me either, someone else in the game as me experienced their console crashing as well.
