Connection issues

[deathsadvocate]

i cannot connect at all no matter how many people are playing in a server (i even tried some empty ones). it does the "joining server" screen for about 1 secound then it goes back to the server list. There are no error messages and no "server full" messages.

This game was working ok last night then it suddenly stoped working today (i didnt even turn off my pc). There has been no modifications to the hardware. i have no fire walls enabled. i have installed 1.02 from a freash install (not upgraded from 1.01). Absolutly nothing has changed in my setup at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this??

Now it wont even let me Uninstall the game to reinstall it.

does anyone know how to fix this problem? (that DOES NOT involve a compleat reformat.)

you need to reinstall the ActiveSheild installer, search the forums as someone else has done this with success.

iv found out what the problem was with not being able to join games. Apperently EA thought it would be a nice feature to have your cdkey suddenly deleate itself and not tell you.

iv seen many people with this same problem with there questions going unawnsered in the fourms heres the link to the post that tells you how to fix this problem.

Nice find. The game is still pretty....extremely buggy, random things like this should have been ironed out before it was ever released. Problem is EA has a tendency to push big games out before they are truely ready. I'm sure had it been up to DICE alone, they would have held off. But since EA was the publisher, not much can be done.
