Me3 Multiplayer Freeze Crashing

@Glaz101 

It is only the game that crashes? Meaning the Computer itself is still running normally after the game crashes?

Go to your Reliability monitor > Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time and copy and paste or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in the new Window > hit “ENTER” and look if it has entries for the "MassEffect3.exe" ot the "Origin.exe"

If yes double click at the last entry for the game executable, copy the info to the clipboard, save it to a text file and load it up with your next reply.

I stated that the game crash causes the entire PC to freeze and force a shut down / restart. 

The PC does not respond after the freeze and does NOT run normally during that time period. 

The audio also loops during the freeze, I've experienced this on other game crashes before. 

The report is posted. 

Hoping EA will have a team look into updating ME3 or improving the game.

The game is 7 Years old, I am afraid that updates are very unlikely.

The game crashes with an standard Access violation, this is most probably a problem on the system it runs on and not with the game itself. But this kind of error can have many reasons.

• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
• In the new Window, type or copy and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) > Press ENTER
• Look if there are any "MassEffect3.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files in the "..Local\CrashDumps" folder.
• Zip 2 - 3 "MassEffect3.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at a free file hosting service like Dropbox.
• Post the link here.

If there aren't any dump files of ME3:

• Press the Windows key > Write: Command Prompt > Right click on "Command Prompt" in the search results > Run as administrator.
• Copy and paste "reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD" (Without the quotation marks at beginning and end of the line, so the quotation marks before "HKLM" and after "devenv.exe" need to stay in) into the command prompt Window > Press ENTER.
• Play the game until it crashes.
• After the game crashes, let all Windows crash dialogues finish.
• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. > Type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) into the new window > Press ENTER.
• Zip 2 - 3 "MassEffect3.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at free file hosting service like Dropbox.
• Post the link here.
  
  
  If you want to undo the automatic dump creation, use the command below in a elevated command prompt (As in point 1) reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" /f
