I’ve opened my ports (alla possible ports suggested by EA), I’ve set a statip IP for my computer in my LAN, I’ve set an inbound rule in my firewall for 3659 UDP. I’ve done everything I could. Some server work, some kick me out in a couple of minutes. This is getting ridiculous. IT’S NOT MY HARDWARE OR MY LAN FAULT. Everything work properly here. WTF should I do DICE? Please say something!!! Everything started on 25/02, I could play before that stupid patch!!!

Did you download and run the latest Punkbuster then add the path to your BF4 install to Punkbuster and then update BF4 in Punkbuster? This fixed the port 3659 problem for me.

Download PBSetup.exe that Snowballed has linked you ([http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=support-bf4.php)](http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=support-bf4.php%29) [[punkbuster.com](http://punkbuster.com)]

Run the program to update your BF4 punkbuster.

If that doesn’t fix your problem, uninstall your network adapter and reboot your computer and let windows install it’s own drivers.

To uninstall your network adapter, right click the network icon on your task bar, then go to open network and sharing center, then click “change adapter settings”, after that right click your “Local Area Connection” and go to Properties. In Properties you will see an uninstall and an install button. Click the uninstall button and let it uninstall the adapter and then reboot your PC.

I have done that and opend a ton of ports from a guide [http://portforward.com/english/routers/port\_forwarding/Technicolor/TG799vn\_v2/Battlefield\_4.htm](http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Technicolor/TG799vn_v2/Battlefield_4.htm) [[portforward.com](http://portforward.com)] but still the second some one else on my network join the same server i get kickt and it says “Game disconnected: Client closed down connection. Check your network connection and make sure that port 3659 (UDP) is open.”

Same here, my friend joins the server im playing and i get kicked with this error.  
This also happened with battlefield 3 but it would just say: “ERROR: could not join server (1)”  
Glad to see that instead of fixing the problem they just came up with a new error message ^^  
Its sad because this literally happens on almost every server. We just cant play together unless the server is pratically empty. We had like only 3 Battlefield 3 servers that we both could play. and 1 had to be american as we are from Europe. So imagine how frustrating it is.

We both payed 110€ for this game and we cant play together. This was an open eyes as both of us will never buy or pre order anything from EA.

Also updating punkbuster fixed nothing.

If someone on the same network as you can join the server, then the problem is on your own computer and not in the modem/router. There’s no need to forward ports if your router/modem is reasonably new.

Make sure the network adapter you’re uninstalling is the one your internet goes through.

Other things to try would be the ipconfig commands, but they didn’t work for me.

This is what worked for Spazzy

Hi guys, what worked for me was :

1.Click Start, then select Run and type CMD in the Run box. A command prompt window should open on screen.2.Type ipconfig /release in the command prompt.3.Wait a few seconds for a reply that the IP address has been released.4.Type ipconfig /renew in the command prompt.5.Wait a few seconds for a reply that the IP address has been re-established.6.Type ipconfig /flushdns in the command prompt.7.Close the command prompt and attempt to make a connection.

Hi guys,

I have a brand new gaming comp.

Same error " port 3659 UDP.."

I dowloaded Punkbuster, reboot system… problem not fixed  
I desabled the Firewall, … problem not fixed  
I read on a forum that downloading this program “Smart Port Forwarding” would solve the problem… Hell Nooooooo  
I even took a shower… but problem still there

Guys, any other idea?

Thanks in advance

ERROR  
Game disconnected: Client closed down connection. Check your network connection and make sure that port 3659 (UDP) is open.

I expect problems with this game, That’s why I don’t play it often.

I’m currently saving up for Titianfall I am concerned this will happen again

Twice again today. Both times I left a server and tried to rejoin it later.  
 → Bf4/server/whatever blocks itself.

Not managed to complete one session on a server since the last patch. Exactly the same error. I know my way around software troubleshooting and have excluded all the client based possible issues. The fact so many people have had this issue since the last patch is a clear indicator of where the problem lies… the software. I am a Premium member so I have paid close to £80 for a game I now cannot play.

I still get the no sound bug too … even on the short period within sessions that I do get! I have been a computer gamer for over thirty years and have never seen a game this bugged this long after launch.

EA/Dice/Whoever - Please sort it out. The game is awesome when it works!! Right now, it does not work at all.

Even when these errors, stupid game, Game disconnected: Client closed down connection. Check your network connection and make sure that port 3659 (UDP) is open.  
I bought the game still in presale expecting a good game, just errors in the game. How do I?? Each day is a new error?  
It’s so expect to buy new games from EA?

Well it is a problem with the game because it only happens on battlefield.

Also, nothing happened in the beta or on the release of the game, but back then there was way to many problems so this 1 would be nothing.

This started happening after China rising got released and the updates back then, then it was away for a while and with the latest update it constantly happens.

I just think its retarded how such a big franchise fail in simple things. I had nothing against EA till bf4 came out. This game doesnt work half of the time. The time it takes for me and my friend to find a server that actually works jsut bores us of the game, not to mention the random disconnects.

Anyway, this is the main reason i aint getting Titanfall, i would really like to try the game, but honestly i think itll be jsut as bad as bf4.

I’m a customer, i dont buy BF4 because i hate Call of duty and so on, i bough battlefield 4 because i played the previous and i had fun with it. But now i regret it because the Bf series are expensive for some and it ends up being money badly spent since its so full of problems. Thats why i feel disrespected by such a big company… Things like these should not happen or at least be fixed in 1 to 2 months, instead, nothing is told by them and after all this time the game still doesnt work for some.
