Multiplayer Freezing very commonly
Every 3 or 4 rounds, my multiplayer freezes in the middle of a game (a frozen screen, not black, no ctd, no error message). When this happens, the entire lobby times out (I have been playing with friends and it happens every time, even if I'm not the host). My GPU is WELL under recommended temps, and I have played single player twice through with 0 crashes of any sort. I have a computer that is way beyond even recommended specs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jaycoblue,
Your problem is most likely related to the EA Servers with their constant slow connections and overall unacceptable lag times, and not your PC.
I have had that same issue for almost three weeks now on my PS3. I've had Game Advisors,Specialist etc...look into the matter only to state that the problem is with my ISP. They (my ISP's tech support) point the finger back at EA, and the overall consensus is that it is an EA Servers issue.
I've been told that The Studio is aware of it, EA-Origin and Bioware are aware of the issue (which affects just about every game that has an MP component (like ME 3, Battlefield 3-4, Sim 3 etc). No one however has a solution so far. So, I just get to play MP whenever I'm "allowed' and pray I make it through wave 11 without freezing out, or being thrown out of the game because time run out...losing points and consumables used during game play.
Bottom line: go to help.ea.com and click on CONTACT US to speak with a Game Advisor and add your current problem to the growing list of "Lost Connection with the Servers and/or Freezes of the various platforms on which the game is being played on---you: PC, me: PS3, my friends: XBoX 360"
Good luck to you (and all of us:robotfrustrated🙂 Keep on playing though, frustrating as ----it is.:robotfrustrated:
