It happened to my BF3 too since yesterday. It is over 24 hours and I still can not join in any servers. It seems like a new issue, i can not google the same problems except you.
contacted to them 3 times, opened a thread on ea answers h.q and not even single person aware of this issue in ea and they dont have a clue about a possible fix, they can only provide same old fashioned standart trobleshootings, i did ever single of 'em none works with me. on ea answers h.q forum ; someone had the same propblem and he claimed he s reinstalled the windows fixed this issue but noway id do that its not worth of a try for one game.
I just fixed it by myself. My way is choose Quick Match first, then it will prompt “Can’t join the server”. Then I choose servers and join in successfully. Hope it is helpful to you too.
This sort of issue seemed to start right about the time the EA engineer tried to fix the problem with “fake” player counts on servers. One gets the feeling he may have been overly aggressive. But it may also be completely unrelated.
You do anything “odd?” Like idle timeout a lot? Or often join a game and quit without playing? Seems like I had that happen when I joined and then went for a beverage and it had timed out before I got back. Joined again but the queue was 3 deep so I let it sit and didn’t notice when it let me in and it timed out, and then DICE just said “no soup for you” and made me wait 3 days to play again.
i was going to try but then i remembered i dont have premium bf3 account so i cant use quick match feature it asks me expansion packs but it was worth to try cos’ its worked lol :)) i have no idea how and why meantime there s no one, not even single person at e.a not aware a such issue ever existed ahaha.
once again im so happy of my decision tht never and ever buy another battlefield games from ea.
I’ve been getting this message for the past few days now. I have never got this message in the 4 years I’ve played this game before this. The only way to get around this seems to be joining the server through the in game browser. But with the fake player counts this is super annoying. I wonder what is going on with battlelog, if ea has finally decided to shut it down?
The same problem happened to me two days ago at BF3 PC, I spoke on the EA support and several options they gave me at the end They told me that they are investigating the problem and that several players are experiencing this.
i assume it s related with battlelog webhelper.exe, there might be a conflict with windows 10 updates cos’, it does happen when the time is right, webhelper.exe never runs in background , tryed to execute manually it prompts but only a few sec. and then stops.
Well, you do not have to be so drastic, the basic support of EA is a “call center” and obviously they are not trained deeply to solve more complicated problems but through them I could be in contact with the most specialized support, one of the solutions that basic support of EA told me it was to reset the router but I did not check the ports again, since I opened them again it seems that the problem is already fixed, any changes I post to share it
Note: “Keep in mind that the ports must be opened correctly by entering the router from the browser (google chrome for example)”
dude ive been playing these 2 games since their release, and believe me, encountered maybe 20+ issues in total on both games and solved them by alternative solutions which found by other players around the forum, i dont even remember even one case solved by e.a answers h.q or online help, sad but true. feel free to join hate train , they deserve more than that.
and also about port forwarding, i dont think this is a solution cos’ once i clicked on join server, that error message pops up from the bottom straight away, cant even start a game besides battlelog web helper and even sometime bf3.exe not running in background . another thing this problem happened once then fixed by itself i dont know how , played for 3 days smoothly and then last night, bang ! happened again. <3 as i said thers nothing got to do with port forwarding.
reinstalled bf4, log out from origin try to log in to bf4 by clicking icon on desktop after logged in open a new browser through origin by clicking on bf3, try to join server, it will prompt , you r running another battlefied game then close bf4 then again click on join server, problem solved.. i dont know how and why cos’ this is bugfield. pffff
