It sounds like you may be having issues with your connection @Alex_Fonewn. I would suggest taking a look at our Connection troubleshooting steps which you can find here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/

Mass Effect 3's multiplayer is peer-to-peer. The game experience is affected by the host's and/or player's connection speed. If you're not the host yourself, try hosting a game instead of joining one.
Hello Darko, thanks for the answer.
My connection is very good.
1GB simetrical connection, and just now Fast.com test to this room: 91mbps down, 95Mbps up, with 2ms unloaded ping, the max the ethernet cable can provide.
On Apex Legends my connection is super good.
So I am 95% sure it is not my connection, it is the ME3 MP PS3 connection. I am going to test something later today.
this has happened heavily even when I was hosting a game.

One game working fine doesn't rule out a connection issue @Alex_Fonewn. It's all about bandwidth, you can be logged in everywhere and still have connection issues with just one thing.
Let me know how you get on.
Darko @EA_DarkoHello,
My connection is very good, fiber optic with 1GB symmetric, and unloaded ping of 2ms, I get to this room the full 100Mbps down and 96Mbps up of the ethernet cable to here.
Please test it yourself, yesterday, again, for aproximately 6th day in a row, the networking aspect of the game was awful. I was playing with high level profile players,(which are the only ones playing these days in PS3 for the Europe time frame, we play at night). It is almost impossible to play. We are having delays of 1/2 to 1 second, just a raw guess, by what is happening in the game.
Please play a PS3 game and test it yourself.
I have to say I am very grateful to EA to keep this online game alive still in 2022, but please fix the networking.@EA_DarkoToday I will perform one more test.
I have opened the ports on my main router for the PS3, these are the ports I have opened for the static IP address set for this PS3.
TCP: 3478-3480, 5223, 8080
UDP: 3074, 3478-3479, 3658-3659, 5659, 6000
Let's see how it goes.- @EA_Darko Today the game still lags a lot, biotic combos are very difficult to do, they shoot you early and you shoot late, difficult to aim and get plays.
It is not fun to play like this, it is a challenge to survive.
Please fix it. - EA_Darko3 years ago

Hey @Alex_Fonewn if you continue to see issues please speak with your ISP, for peer-to-peer issues you will need to troubleshoot your connection. You can also speak with PSN support to see if there is an issue on that end that could be affecting you.

- @EA_Darko So did you test the game on PS3 and did not find it laggy?
