PC: Unable to connect to multiplayer games: "..session lost"

I receive a "...session lost" error when attempting to connect to a custom multiplayer game with friends after an invite.

I receive the same message as soon as one of my friends attempts to connect to my custom game.

Quick Match gets me into a lobby where I can see the other players, but as soon as the owner starts the game, I receive the same "...session lost" message.

The worst part, and probably the biggest fail is that the game will keep trying to connect and there is no way to abort.  It attempts to connect, throws the "...session lost" error, kicks you back a screen, and tries to connect again.  And again....  and again.  The only way to stop it is to kill the application.

I'm running Windows 7 Pro.  I have exceptions added to Windows Firewall (created automatically).  

I have NO issue connecting to the DA:I servers within game for the Store or anything else.  It is only connecting to a game host, or having other players connect to my hosted game.

  • Same problem here: even after the 2nd patch there is no way to join a multiplayer game created by a friend of mine (or to create a game and to be joined by some friends). And yes: the worst thing is that you must abort the game every time. ☹️
  • i've just install the 2nd patch but the problem is still here...

    Same problem here.

    I have tried forwarding the appropriate ports, but to no avail.

    Having encountered this problem before, I have a suspition that it's an issue with origin, not the game itself, since I have the same issue connecting to friends' games on Mass Effect 3.

    I play a whole heap of games with friends, and the only two I have any problems with are the two I play on origin...

  • At least mass effect 3 MP issues weren't thist bad, I've been trying all sorts of ways to just join a damn game for an hour now, with no luck.

  • So this kind of things annoys me ALOT. I did buy the game to play online with a friend. And on the backside of the game it says multiplayer. Tough when we log on multiplayer for the first time today we just get this Error. And their havent been any words from the devs yet? 

    How can this eaven be legal? Its goes under "False Adv" ......

    So as I understand so far, their is no way for "us" to fix the problem, its at EA servers?

  • Just wanted to mention that this is still a problem (last reply being from January and all). I get one good game(usually the entire team dies in the second zone or some such but at least they try) then my teammates trickle out one by one either out of impatience for the game to start or what have you. No new people ever end up coming in so I leave the lonely lobby and attempt to join one with some people in it. 9 times out of 10 I receive the "you have lost connection to the server" error. Occasionally it will let me be in a game but it will just slap me in one by myself and wont let anyone join me. Due to this I've gotten my character to level 8 by throwing myself at impossible odds repeatedly. It's most irritating. I get that whatever sports game you're working on is fascinating and all but can you KINDLY UN-**** YOUR PRODUCTS?! I would be most appreciative and have something to fill my time with besides slandering your company and its products every opportunity I get >_>

    Cheers! Be trying
  • Seems like this issue will not disappear anytime soon, i still can not play with some of my friends because this message and it stuck my game every time i try. I can see how this problem affect people by looking at my friend list, less and less people connecting.
