Re: Cannot Connect To Multiplayer Servers

Okay I'll give all of this a try when I get some time today. I am running on 64bit Windows 7 on both the laptop and desktop.

What Jimy posted can help.

On setting BF3.exe to admin, when I do that, the game will not load. Some say it works though, so, try it and see how it helps.

AVG could be causing it as well. Some weird issues with the game and its firewall. You might temporarily disable it or add it to the ignore list.

Some people tried this video. I would turn off the sound first as the music is terrible:

This might work as well.

Do you have a 32bit OS?

Re: Cannot Connect To Multiplayer Servers

Honestly, I do not know if these things will help, but try :
-Updating punkbuster :http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
-Setting bf3.exe as administrator: Go to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3 , right click bf3.exe, go to "properties" , go to "Compatibility" and check "Run as administrator".

I'm not sure how these could help you, but it does not hurt to try. If they don't help at all I'm sure CptainCrunch will be able to tell you something more factual

Re: Cannot Connect To Multiplayer Servers

See if your router has uPNP enabled or disabled and reverse it and see how it works.

Hello everyone,

Just moved back home for a few months and I installed BF3 on the desktop and I am having issues connecting to online multiplayer. Co-Op connects no problem but online multiplayer just will not connect. The only error given is-

Game disconnected: could not join server.

I cannot figure out why it will not connect. The odd thing is I was able to connect to one server last night on a pure whim but nothing since then, I tried today to reconnect to that same server after all the others didn't work and that server also will not work, same error is given.

When I played on my laptop at my apartment it worked fine but will not connect here on this internet connection.

Internet is 1mb wired connection, I pinged and ran a tracert on the ip and found nothing out of the ordinary.
