So I downloaded the game. Downloaded MP controller support mod / mod manager. Installed it. In game it shows me the splash for it so pretty sure it just installed right.

Get to the screen where it says "Press Start", that works fine. But on the main screen it won't let me select or move anything. I can't click on multiplayer or scroll to it, nothing.

Has anyone else had this issue and can give me some advice? Was really hoping to get back into this.

Should note too, it worked before modding so it's not my proton on anything.

As you play around with classes and weapon combos, you eventually stumble upon some (or read up online) that makes you wonder why would you even play anything else:

• Long-Range:
  • A Geth Infiltrator with a Black Widow and Phasic Rounds turns the game into a point-and-click adventure. Don't even need headshots, just click on enemy and enemy dies.
• Mid Range:
  • A Turian Ghost Infiltrator with a Harrier is an insane damage hose that can remove shields with a click, and yet being tankier than freaking sentinels because he can just press a no-cooldown button for full shields. Bonus points for also having a dodge on a Turian because why the fuck not.
  • An N7 Destroyer has so many passive weapon buffs, they make even the shittiest weapon gold-viable, let alone if you put something actually good on them like a Particle Rifle or a Hurricane. They also have a staggering missile turret on their shoulders that ignores cooldowns alongside the rest of the kit.
• Close range:
  • An Asari Sentinel with an Incendiary Reegar melts bosses so fast, they look like common troopers. I couldn't believe my eyes when I killed an Atlas in two quick clips. They are also quite tanky with tech armor and annihilation field recharging shields.
  • An Aliance Infiltration Unit can literally resurrect itself, while also having insane damage multipliers with Reegar.
  • A Geth Trooper is a stupidly tanky walking flamethrower that melts everything visible on the screen. What, they have big shields? With an Acolyte, you can legally say no to shields.

Like I'm not saying other class/weapon combos aren't good, but these feel so much above the rest, in combination of damage potential and survivability, that everything else feels like a downgrade.

Stability I can solve with the stability mod (70%) and the non-consumable equipment that gives +30% stability. Ammo issues, I can solve with Heat Sink (+ the same equipment). Armor damage reduction from being a rapidfire weapon, I can solve with Armor Piercing Ammo. But I have no idea how to solve its accuracy issues. Scope only works while zoomed in and there are no modslots left anyways after all problem solving.

The only two characters I can get good accuracy on with the weapon is the Turrian Soldier (Marksman) and the N7 Destroyer (Devastator mode), but considering how popular the weapon is I assume there is a more wider solution.

Does anyone know what the Marauders say all the time, to my ear it kinda sounds like "Dropship detected". Probably not intentional by the devs to have these reaper troops speaking english but every time I play against reapers it's all I can hear.

After waiting, today I finally got ME3 on sale because I wanted to try on the multiplayer mode. I'm enjoying it so far but there's something with the server connection that's been bothering me, I was only able to start (since wave 1) and finish (wave 11) a single time. Other times the game would kick me out of an on-going match, or it won't load at all and kick me.

"You've lost connection" or something like that, I love Mass Effect and I want to enjoy the multiplayer, but idk if it's an internet issue, a server issue, or if there's a way to fix it with mods or maybe changing graphics or something? (Not an expert on games and tech here). I just need clarification and if needed, a bit of help with this issue. (PS: I'm from northeastern Mexico, but I've never got this kind of issues with with most online videogames I've played)

Some utter bullshit. Idk what caused it. But getting jumpscared by Banshees is not what I had in mind when I played tonight.

so i downloaded me3 for the first time in a long while only to see that my entire account had been reset. weird but i’m willing to let go and move forward to grind all over again. i grew up playing the co-op and really had no idea what i was doing to begin with since i was so young. it’s been really cool to revisit the game and be able to appreciate the class system since i’m older n understand it better. with all that being said i wanna know what some of the best builds in the game consist of and even some niche builds that can be fun. id appreciate any tips n tricks, what should i be looking forward to getting from packs in order to approach higher level content etc!

Hello,

So I read online about how the "+50% weight" mods don't apply to non-DLC weapons if you don't equip a weight reducer mod and only have a single weapon.

Just wanted to confirm two things:

• Is this bug still not fixed?
• Does this mean I can happily equip a Pistol Heavy Barrels mod on my pistols such as Carnifex and Paladin, over Pistol High Caliber-Barrel, and get +15% damage bonus with 0 downside?

Thank you for your answers.

Hey all, not sure if anyone is interested, but it was actually relatively simple for me to get mecoop in working on my Steam Deck.

I just wanted mecoop + mgamerz’s great controller mod and it was pretty wildly simple to get working.

Like (I suspect) most of you, I only have ME3 on the EA App/Origin store, not on my steam account so I thought this might be impossible. Also was tough to find any info out there in general on this. But it’s as simple as follows:

• Switch to Desktop mode
• Download the EA App
• Add the EA App installer to steam
• Set the installer compatability to proton experimental
• Install said App, stop once you’re at the login screen
• Find the proton faux-windows installed location of the EA App
• Either add that exe to steam or update the installer you added’s target and start in values
• Open the EA app and login
• Download ME3 + DLC
• Download me mod manager
• Add the mod manager installer to steam (also with proton experimental comparability)
• Install the mod manager to the same faux-windows “drive” as the EA App
• Again, add the new mod manager exe to steam, again with proton experimental compat
• Open ME Mod Manager, point it to your ME3 install
• Backup ME3
• Download mods, install

And boom you have a modded ME3 game, you can remove the installer bottles at this point.

Happy to make a more in-depth guide if the community feels it would be helpful, but it’s really not that hard to do! At least to get the controller mod working (I haven’t tried any others on the steam deck yet).

Anyone down to run some apex missions? Xbox

After playing ME3coop for hundreds of hours, the never-ending screaming is starting to really get on my nerves during gold+ Reaper games.

I'm fine with mods.

Edit: Mass Effect Andromeda

As the title suggests, I’m wondering if anyone is able to help me in getting the Unwavering trophy, which is complete 5 Extractions On Gold. I’m fairly new to multiplayer, and I’m not having much luck in finding matchmaking online. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I probably should also edit this saying this is for Mass Effect andromeda, so I apologise for the confusion

I read a lot of negative opinions on this gun online from 12-13 years ago, so I was quite surprised when I equipped it on my Turian Sentinel and absolutely wrecked shit with it, while having 200% recharge speed even at rank 1. I have been using the Collector SMG 1 beforehand, but Eagle just seems superior against every target, including armored ones (higher shot damage + can fit in pierce mod), and I can't even get 200% with the Collector SMG. Heck with the Eagle 1, I can even fit in an 80% weight-reduced Hurricane 1 for close-range combat and still stay at 200%.

So I was wondering if the gun was heavily buffed at a later stage of the game after all the complains.

Haven't played ME3MP in many years. Anything I should know, or any tips? Thanks.

Ive been playing this game on 360 for about 12 years on and off now. I still dont have the geth trooper. Is there a way to just get the damn thing at this point?

Hello, I RECENTLY got into mass effect and I just finished the trilogy story. Been getting into the multiplayer for 3 and while it’s amazing it’s also really grindy. Is there a way for me to easily farm some credits or maybe a glitch/exploit for crates? (I’m on Xbox)

Getting real sick of playing with a couple friends who are new to the game and matching with a juggernaut on bronze who slaughters everything on the field. You're not helping! You're just being a dick! We're trying to figure out classes and work towards challenges, and it's hard to get that done if there are no enemies on the field for more than three seconds!

Fuck, I'm mad

I've seen a couple of other posts about the "checking downloadable content" bug preventing people from playing the game. I'm on my Xbox One right now and haven't been able to get into the game, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as starting the game in offline mode but nothing works. Does the same thing happen on PC? I was thinking of trying to play on PC and see if that works better. Does anyone have a solution?

I've just started playing ME3 multiplayer, and I'm having a significant problem with joining matches and being unable to see enemies. They are definitely there, because other players are shooting at them. Sometimes it even seems they can't shoot me, either.

Does anyone know what triggers it, or how to reduce the number of frequency? I have a the "Unofficial Mass Effect 3 Patch", "MP Unofficial Patch 3", "Better Power Descriptions", and "Interface Scaling" mods loaded, along with ALOT. Running at 4k, but I'm going to try 1080p to see if that helps.

They don't appear as an "add-on" option in the EA launcher, and inside the game the "Downloadable Content" button does... literally nothing. This is a fresh install.

And yes, I definitely don't have them already installed, since I'm missing 1/3rd of the characters and the ability to equip gear. (I do have all the basegame characters unlocked and at lvl20 though, as I left them years ago.)

EDIT: Restarting the EA launcher fixed the issue, they appear now as add-ons. I will leave the thread up though, just in-case someone else runs into the same issue.

So I picked up QME a couple days ago and I'm loving the kit. However, I don't know if my arc grenade + incinerate combo is actually detonating a tech burst (I have the 'electrical damage' arc grenade upgrade). My incinerate + arc grenade is working fine though. Is this just a visibility thing?

and while i'm here, i'm debating on whether to run AP ammo, or incendiary ammo to use for the DoT incinerate (all damage bonuses) overwrite. using collector SMG because i love that ammo regen

What the title says.

Seriously feels like I'm the only player left. Literally haven't found one game.

As the title says, I am a pc player (though I do use a controller), and I am looking for people to play with on the Mass Effect Multiplayer. I have the itch to play this kind of multiplayer again and wish BioWare would release a stand alone multiplayer for Mass Effect. So, which game has the stronger online community, ME3 or MEA for multiplayer?

If you have maxed it out, how long did it take? I have all the characters and mods maxed out but not guns. UR gun variants are taking forever.
