Hey man, how's it going? By your post, not so good. I've had some issues too of late, but mine are more about repeatedly getting the "You have lost your connection to the Mass Effect 3 server" or "You appear to be offline" (I'm not offline). It got pretty bad there for a while, over the past 3 weeks or so, but this week it seems to have calmed down.
To your problem, well, I just don't know. For myself, I made the decision long ago to always be the host. I rarely if ever go joining other games. Perhaps if I or anyone on your list knows you're on you can be invited into a lobby, maybe that would work? Reason I say it is because years ago I was having serious issues with friends not being able to join my hosted games, and I had to invite them in for it to work for them. Since those days I have gotten a new gaming rig and have updated and enhanced my internet connection and speed, and haven't noticed those issues lately.
Hey I hope to see youi back on there, you're a good player. Cheers!

Of course I spoke too soon. As soon as I said things were better this week with that disconnecting problem I go into the game and sure enough I've been disconnected from the server three times now in the span of about 3 hours.
Anyway Juweee, I was thinking about your problem some more, and a question was raised.... are you setting your status in Origin to "online" rather than "invisible"? I don't for sure know if that does anything, but I was told by another player on my friends list years ago that that makes a difference when trying to join friends games.
Also, and again I'm not sure how much this plays a part, but I also read recently that it helps smoother game play if you open your task manager (right-click on START), and set your ME3 process priority to "high" (in the details tab). I've been doing this one for a while now and it seems to lessen my connection, or rather disconnection problem, but it doesn't solve it completely.
Hopefully one of the high-octane tech experts around here can weigh in and clear some of this up and offer a more solid solution.
