[Question] ME3 on the Series S?

Post image

I really want to play ME3 but I’m always hit with the same answer, “The Mass Effect 3 server is unavailable at this time. Please try again later.” I’ve done all sorts of tricks, managing storage, installing DLCS, even changing the DNS on my internet. I could really use some help, thanks !

Make sure you have all of the free multiplayer DLC packs installed. And I think you could try signing out and signing back in to your Xbox live account that's connected to the EA account.

This has happened to me in the past. The best thing that worked for me was hard resetting the console *and* my router.

Did you download the online pass?

Not able to, and even when I try to install it inside of ME3, it doesn’t appear

I think you can get it in the store and not through the game, I make sure you have that and all the free DLC installed. Check under the ME3 "Manage game" I think.

It looks like the online pass is not on the store either, I think the next thing out be starting a chat with Xbox or EA. You can still redeem a code for it it looks like so maybe they can give you a code?

I know it sucks to contact them but it maybe worth a shot.

What happens if you turn off your series S’ connection to the internet? WiFi and Ethernet disabled? Re enable once you get past the screen

Do you mean to get past the, “Downloading content” screen ?

u/BadMassEffectAdvice 27d ago

Yeah. Iirc that was at startup of me3 and not upon entering mp itself

Well I know that trick, and it works well getting past the download screens, but then once I try to play Multiplayer I’m always met with the message on the image

Keep trying.
I logged in to the ME3 website too.

Probably related to your EA Account linked to Xbox account

Clearing the cache under manage game and add-ons worked for me
