The crashes seem to be affecting mostly Xbox players, although a couple of PS3 players are reporting the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>BioWare is apparently &#8220;aware of the issues&#8221;, and working on a fix to fix the previous fix, and hopefully also to fix whatever it is that&#8217;s been causing random game disconnections since launch. Getting dumped from the servers at the end of wave 9 is only funny once, and it wasn&#8217;t even funny then.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, you can try loading the game while disconnected from Xbox LIVE, clearing the console&#8217;s system cache, swapping discs, or just keep trying to start the game, over and over, until it (maybe) actually starts. Ahhh, good times.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/social.bioware.com\/forum\/Mass-Effect-3\/Mass-Effect-3-Xbox-360-Technical-Support\/-Patch-2-Game-crashes-when-connecting-to-EA-Servers-11306524-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">BioWare Social Network<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related article<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut gives you the ending you hoped for\" href=\"..\/news\/35576-mass-effect-3-extended-cut-gives-you-the-ending-you-hoped-for.html\">Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut gives you the ending you hoped for<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Mass Effect 3 \u2013 choose your own review (PS3)\" href=\"..\/pc\/34680-mass-effect-3-choose-your-own-review-ps3.html\">Mass Effect 3 \u2013 choose your own review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Mass Effect 3 multiplayer stats revealed\" href=\"..\/news\/34386-mass-effect-3-multiplayer-stats-revealed.html\"><strong>Mass Effect 3 multiplayer stats revealed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Mass Effect FPS was planned then canned\" href=\"..\/news\/34359-mass-effect-fps-was-planned-then-canned.html\">Mass Effect FPS was planned then canned<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not a bug, it&#8217;s a feature!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[31,427,175,813,423],"class_list":["post-35882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","category-xbox","tag-active","tag-bioware","tag-ea","tag-electronic-arts","tag-mass-effect-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35882"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35905,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35882\/revisions\/35905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
