For port forwarding use the website guys http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ [portforward.com]

EA/DICE needs to fix this. Or come up with a solution that works for households with more than 1PC and Origin-account.

Portforwarding to one single pc is not a solution that will suffice in the long run.

Use of either localhost or 127.0.0.1 in the ip should open the ports for all PCs on that subnet. (your router may very)

Why in heaven’s name does a game need an INCOMING FORWARDED PORT?

[netcode404]

no ports open for bf4 no problems… so it does nothing exept a risk for your network… congrats

Never Had a problem playing, and i can play Standard BF4 no issues. But when i try to play Second Assault if get "Check your network connection and make sure that port 3659 (UDP) is open"

Oh yeah sure open some ports so you can play a game. Should I also open some ports so I can use my webbrowser?

Happened to me know, twice in a row, both on CTF.

Played Metro Conquest/Rush before that, and all was fine.

Even after Forwarding still get kick for port 3659 (UDP) .

also make your PC a static IP, so all of that port forwarding will continue to work if your ip changes, if you can’t do that use localhost or 127.0.0.1 which should port forward those ports for everyone on the network..

This!

Forgot to mention I have static IP aswell

[Kajjal]

You don’t need to open ports unless you have a complicated / non standard firewall setup. Most home routers come with all incoming ports blocked and all our going ports enabled. This means that any communication started from inside e.g. your PC is allowed back in again for the return traffic. Any communication started from the internet is blocked.

Opening ports for incoming traffic unless you are running a server or service of some sort is a very bad idea.

You also again don’t need a static IP unless you are running a server that requires it.

I think some peeps are missing the point! I have been playing since the start… No hardware changes, windows updates are off., firewall setting havent changed, but now since SA installed im having the connection issue.

I should not have to go messing with firewalls or ips…

Only just been able to play again in the new year because of problems, ive tried my firewall and port forwarding and nothing is working, please say this is an EA DICE problem?

Damn straight!!!

Yep, been posting this stuff up for some time. It just gets drowned out and sunk down with “Its not my system, its the game!” as I keep playing.

[FlaankEm]

Tagging this in case I need it for reference.

[general_fa1lure]

The only sensible question in this thread. I really don’t understand, too. This is so 1997.
