ME3 multiplayer randomly crashes
I bought ME3 a few months ago for the multiplayer. It's been a lot of fun - a very well-made game. However, I have an issue where the game randomly crashes with no warning. Here is a 15-second YouTube video showing how it goes down.
I didn't post that video, but it is identical to the crashes I routinely get. I'm playing on an Asus laptop I bought last fall - it's basically brand new. I know many other people have this issue as well, as I found a Reddit thread about it (https://www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/18ysl2s/me3_mp_crashing/). I've tried the fixes some people have posted there, but to no avail.
Here are a couple of crash dump files if anyone knows how to analyze them:
A few things I have noticed about my own experiences with this issue:
- Drone escort waves seem to dramatically increase the likelihood of a crash.
- When I host, it seems to crash very commonly in the first 60 seconds or so of wave 3.
- Having people in the game who are physically far away (i.e. in Europe) seems to increase the likelihood.
- The crashes seem to come in clusters. Some sessions I can play 5+ games with no issue, while other sessions I crash virtually every game.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
