Battlefield 3 Problem connecting to servers

[whoflungpoo]

Hello. I bought BF3 today and can't connect to any servers. Any suggestions??

 

[BRAVO51]

any error message(s)?
what exactly happens?

 

[whoflungpoo]

Well, sometimes it says Could not find server or Could not join server. I was able to join it a couple of times but I mostly get this. Not sure if its my connection or something with the game.

That was an isolated issue last night. BC2 and BF3 were having issues, likely due to EA trying to get players to rage buy BF4.

If that keeps happening, let us know and we will gladly assist!

Thanks, but this problem has continued today too. Right when it starts connecting me to the server, I get a message in the lower right hand corner say "Game disconnected: could not join server. " It's starting to tick me off since I payed $40 for it yesterday. I've only been able to connect to the server once, which happened yesterday, and I have tried about 7 other times altogether.

Try updating PB and your video drivers.

I updated PB and still nothing. Every time it happens, I get to the "Connecting" part in Battlelog and it disconnects me. I also uninstalled/reinstalled origin and nothing.

What browser are you using?

 

[whoflungpoo]

Firefox. Also, I did just uninstall/reinstall the game so I will see wat happens now.

 

[whoflungpoo]

After re-installing it, still nothing. I'll try Internet Explorer but I dont know if that will do anything.

I tried IE and still the same thing. I'm running out of things to try :/

This has been a common problem lately.

I exit out of Origin (I'll leave the browser open) and try to reconnect. Repeat until it works.

Been doing the same thing to me, also, there are some servers it will not let me get on, no matter how long I sit or the times I try, one of our eGO servers is one of these. On others I get the same messeges, but there are a few I can get on.

Did you get the plugin Better Battlelog, you need this to run the plugin that originally comes with internet explorer. Just google better battle log and download the plugin for your browser.
