Mass Effect 3 (PC) crashed in Online Mode

While my Origin is in online mode, Mass Effect 3 closed, once the finished checking downloaded dlc part. I am using the same hardware software configuration from release, it was working fine till early this year. I tried shutting down my antivirus (Kaspersky), opened port udp 3659 (my all other online multiplayer games are working fine). My Origin client is installed in my system drive while games are in different drive. 

Did EA shutdown any background server/service which enable the online component of the game??

My Spec

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

i5 processor, 8gb ram, gtx 660 ,latest drivers

    No, the servers are still running. You mention " checking downloaded dlc part." Can I check if you've tried running a repair? To get this option right-click the game panel in Origin. 

    If this has been tried already or has no luck, can you try restarting with a Clean Boot and see if this affects the game's behaviour?

    Thanks. 

  • thank you for reply. I did as u said but it did not work for me. I reinstalled the game, still same problem persist. I did some googling and find out the solution.

    solution

    1. I go offline in origin

    2. start the game

    3. Alt+tab (Shift+F2 is not working for me ) and select go online 

    4. Return to game - select connect to EA Server

    5. Profit,, game is working, played hours of multiplayer

    Problem : My Origin in Game is not working. I can't invite my friend to the game, any workaround ?
