PC Servers down?

I'm not seeing anything on BSN or the Help Center about an outage.

I keep losing connection to the game. 

I've tried to play 5 games in last 5 hours, got disconnected 5x. Once in the lobby, 4x in-game.

I haven't either, but I thought I'd ask all the same. I've had no problems connecting prior to the latest patch.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing ME3, and it's still not connecting to EA's servers.

When I first boot up my PC, then Origin, then the game I connect straight away. When it does a DLC check it loses connection saying that "you must be connected to access online features" etc. I click 'Connect to EA' again and generally it connects and all is well.

If I then chose to access the Store during multiplayer, either to purchase supplies or to redeem Victory/Commendation packs I lose connection to the online features and am returned to the main menu. From here no matter what I do each time I click 'Connect to EA' I am met with the message that the Mass Effect servers are unavailable. The ONLY way I have been able to get back to being connected is to fully reboot my machine (not just the game or Origin).

I have logged a case with EA Support (#05673817) who advised me to update the game. I have done this, and downloaded the new patch released yesterday which has not helped with the above scenario in any way.

Are you Playing on Xbox, PS3 or PC?

PC

I will also point out that if I do manage a successful connection and play a few games, if I were to exit out of the program, go off and do something else online (whilst still connected to Origin) and come back to fire up the game again, the only way to regain connection (as it goes through the loop of the servers being unavailable) is to restart my whole computer.

This doesn't seem like a proper 'fix' since I am unable to use the store in that case.

I kept getting kicked, sometimes just out of the ME3 server, sometimes our of Origin as well.

Right now, i cannot log in to the ME3 server at all, though Origin is accessable.

I went looking around on the EA help center and I found this which may help you guys 😕mileyhappy: ( https://help.ea.com/article/network-troubleshooting-for-mass-effect-3-multiplayer )
