unfortunately I was selected by this glorious glitch yesterday, before that I was all good for over a year..
maybe time is the only fix to it, which means I cannot join friends' lobbies for weeks/months/years..
I'm surprised they would allow this game breaking bug to keep away customers and adversely affect playerbase and word of mouth.
That said, it rarely does auto resolve itself. Don't count on it however.
>>> For PC, the workaround is:
1] Go offline in Origin.
2] Start Mass Effect 3. Get to the main menu. It will fail to connect because offline
3] Manually click connect. It will fail again because offline
4] Then, and only then, go online in Origin.
5] Click connect again in Me3 main menu. It should work and multiplayer should be fine
>>> For consoles, there are workarounds posted in some older threads somewhere on the internet that involve swapping out memory sticks with the Retaliation DLC on it or somewhat; I don't have a console so you can go look it up yourself. Happy hunting 🙂
