Not sure if this is the right place to post problems but anyway I have been plagued by a specific problem the last couple of days, I'lll start a match and everything runs ok and then all of a sudden everything but movement will lock up, I can't shoot, change weapons use any powers, scale ladders, replenish ammo, revive allies etc all I can do is run around the arena and get in cover, half the time the enemy ignores me. Sometimes the abilities come back, most of the time they don't. This doesn't happen in every game, maybe about 10-20% at the moment.

 

I just got kicked from a game just now and I really can't blame the host because it looks like I am trolling but there is literally nothing I can do short of bailing out, but when you are at wave 7 or 8 you kind of want tohang on for the credits.

 

Is this a common problem? My internet is pretty decent, not the best, but I have not had any problems with the few other games I have played and all the other people in the party seemed to be getting on fine.

Something similar to that has happened to me a few times.  I think it was due to the volus shield boost bug.  Performing a heavy melee has always fixed it.

 

Certainly not 10-20% of the time though. Unless you have volus in your team that frequently?

Your pug skills are amazing.

[Ghost Of N7_SP3CTR3]

Not sure,but it sounds like lag issues.

If it isn't the Volus shield bug, then try to repair your installation in Origin. That usually fixes most problems.

 

The "enemies ignore me and I can't hurt them" bug is pretty rare, your fix for that is to die again... so go and hug an Atlas, its melee can kill you. Or try a Banshee. Might take a while until you die.

You know what the best bug is? Invisible geth primes. Siege pulses just appearing out of thin air to smack me in the face. Apparently geth don't consider that cheap enough, so sometimes the whole faction goes invisible. Rockets, siege pulses, etc. just flying out of an invisible source. I'm not sure if shooting at the invisible enemy can actually kill them.

Bioware servers become bias at that point. You can sometimes see certain enemies from a faction if the others are missing. I've had matches where Goonies, Petite Ninjas, Big Machines, and the Repair man, remained invisible. However, the Goons became visible if they were the target for an objective wave.

Its a Host lag problem. Usually once they leave , things will reset and you can continue play. If they dont, then get on the mic and tell them to

On an unrelated note, yesterday I played a pug where all the cerberus enemies (the faction was set to cerberus) were replaced by husks, abominations, a couple of banshees here and there, and near god-mode brutes. The brutes were able to soak up ridiculous amounts of firepower, like five seconds of CSMG X fire along with equipment damage bonuses (I had AP4 ammo and SMG rail amp 3 on) to take off one small bar of a brutes armor. I don't remember who the host was though.

One of these 3:

 

 

1. Volus

 

2. L2P

 

3. Issues with host.

#1 should include healing turret and pylon too.

Banshees go invisible a lot, and you can kill them as normal.

 

Once I did have an invisible Prime, and it was unkillable.

 

One other time there was an invisible Ravager, and this is where it gets weird, it wasn't counted as part of any wave budget, and even persisted through waves.  Even worse, it completely ignored all other players and existed for me and me alone.  After surviving 3 waves in a row of this thing following me around everywhere, I got the team together and we all pinned it in a corner.  Everyone could clearly see the shots being fired at me, but none of us could damage it or make it stop.

Not just invisible Geth. I had several banshees go ninja in front of me. Meaning one sec I see it, then a sec later its gone, but the marquee box for it is still there as well as the name health bubble for it. o.O

Invisible phantoms and turrets add a new element of terror to gameplay.  Screw Platinum, that's the ultimate challenge.

I'm running into the problem where the game keeps taking away levels I gain after spending the skill points and even quitting/rebooting (the old tactic) is getting the good luck finger

if you and/or the host have 2 devices such as a router and a modem then it could be both devices have a firewall active on each conflicting.

 

basically just turn off the firewall on one device and make sure you have the proper ports open.

 

since you are having this problem with most hosts it sounds like ports and/or 2 separate devices conflicting.

i had this problem alot back in the day with 2 devices but now i have 1 device, a router/modem combo.

 

may not be the answer, but you might want to look into it.

Do not turn any firewall off unless it's only for a very short test. You have those for a reason. Your Windows Firewall should have two exceptions for ME3, those are made automatically during installation/first start. I just checked my router and it seems I opened port 3659 for ME3. Since I rarely experience problems I assume I did that for a reason back in the good old days... which I can't remember.

Somebody actually went to the trouble of listing the ports that need to be opened and including it in a detailed post.

 

Let me see if I can find it ... hmmm, oh, yeah, here it is:

I've had a game with 3 other friends where nobody could see the phantoms, except a GI whose hunter mode enabled him to see them. It was fun because he had to keep telling us "there is a phantom coming to you" and so on.

 

We could extract at the end (gold, not platinum though)   Very fun game.

Probably desyncing with the host. You can pull into cover for a while and sometimes it will sort itself out. Is there any other devices connecting to your router while you're playing? Is this console or PC?

No, I pretty much only use one device at a time. I played a few more times last night and didn't encounter any problems. But what I can say is that some of the maps are more trouble than others. Sorry I don't the offiicial names but the worst for problems by far has been the Tuchanka missile stage, I have locked up maybe 2 or 3 times on that stage and also encountered invisibile walls, next up is probably the Benning stage, I have locked up once on there but twice I have had serious lag to the point where my character just keeps skipping back a the few paces I have just moved through giving an annoying back teleport-like effect. and I have locked up once on the Palaven moon area. I have played all of these maps numerous times without problems, I haven't encountered any problems on any other stages. I only just started playing MP last week but pretty much played it all day a few times and didn't find any problems until sunday night and then again last night. I don't know if I am just hitting different countries' times zones which is adding a bit of lag around these times (~7 or 8 pm GMT).

I'm getting several disconnects a night. apologies if it's kicked you out when I'm hosting. I assume it's coz the game is no longer supported and EA servers are s**t! my internet is reasonable, live in a rural location so can't do anything about it. some nights it only happens once, others every other game. just learned to live with it but it is annoying when you lose stuff.

it started for me about 18 months after playing before that no disconnects. tried the 3659 port thingy and that was good for a bit but ISP's in UK tend not to like people hogging bandwidth by gaming so could be that as well.
