Help with bf4 (pc). Can't join a single multiplayer game

Battlefield 4 General Discussion
1

This is a post describing the details I made on the Battlelog forums battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065670206063583/

UPDATE
So I managed to join a single game with people in it and leveled up from 0 to lvl 1 so yeah idk why it worked that time but it did. The problem still isn’t solved but its making me think that if i was able to join a single game that there is hope for me yet
** UPDATE 12/18/13 So I thought my drivers were updated because I use a program called Geforce experience and as you can see here

it says I have my drivers updated. However, when I go to the nvidia website interestingly enough and scan my computer for drivers I get this

What’s the deal?

I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but try to do a repair install through origin. That fixed most of my problems including connectivity issues. Takes about 5 minutes.

3

Update punkbuster, reinstall direct X, then try again

4

I tried this and nothing.

5

Will do

6

Ok so I just did this and I have had success joining a game, but only empty servers because whenever I try to join anything populated it consistently fails on me.

7

Also it’s not even every empty game when I could join a server it’s once in a while of clicking

8

Update Origin plug in

9

  1. Add bf4/origin to windows firewall list of allowed programs.

  2. Try connecting on a different browser like firefox or IE?

10

Tried ie and Firefox same result. I can join empty servers like I said just no luck with anything populated (which is the point lol)

Do you by chance have an AMD card? I had this same problem. After HOURS of searching I found out you have to UNINSTALL ALL MICROSOFT VISuAL C++ 2005 INSTALLS

12

I have an nvididia card thought should I still try this? How would I uninstall all microsoft vicial c++ 2005 installs anyway if i did?

13

Go to control panel, add/uninstall, and uninstall all the C++ runtime 2005 versions

14

One last thing, try deactivating UPNP on your router. This sometimes causes random disconnects.

15

Check your services to see if punkbustera is running or even exists in your services. If it doesn’t, run the punkbuster executable from the game’s directory to reinstall. If that doesn’t work, install the tool from the included link, and manually add the game to punkbuster and run the update. I had an issue with this after updating from Windows 8 to 8.1 http://www.evenbalance.com/?page=pbsetup.php

16

are you sure about this because i looked it up and I have read a lot against uninstalling any.

17

I checked and it definitely says it is running.

18

Well it worked for me :stuck_out_tongue:
