Hello,

I have some ideeas. 

I suggest that you should download and run this one  and this one.  Run both of them and restart the PC after the instalation is completed.

Then try to join a server and see if it helps.

In case this is not working, I suggest to install Smart Port Forwarding   and do the following settngs:

• open the software - a blank white windows should pop up with 5 columns (Protocol - Listen On - Forward To - Type - Running)
• Right click on the Blank white window and a pop up should be present saying Add new Forwarding Port.
• click on the new option and you should see a new window.
• There are 2 selectable options : TCP and UDP.
• select TCP and near it should be present a case labeled "Listen Port"
• Inside that case type 3659 and click OK
• Now you should see that the blank white window has a new set of options in it.
• next repeat the first step (Right click-Add new Forwarding port)
• Now Select UDP and type 3659 in the Listen Port Case.
• Select OK.
• Close or minimize the software and try to join a server without restarting your pc (there is no need for that.)

Thank you and keep me posted about this!

Hey,

Did you tried everything I suggested?

After you installed the redist 2012 and 2013 did you performed a restart?

Also, try to uninstall and reinstall the battlelog plugin, disable your firewall or at least set Battlefield 3 and Origin as an exception.

If this are not workning try this:

• in cmd (Windows Search -> CMD ) type these commands one after another (watch out for he space between letters, because you need it)
• ipconfig /flushdns
• ipconfig /registerdns
• ipconfig /release
• ipconfig /renew
• netsh winsock

After each command press enter and so on then after you managed to execute this commands, please restart your PC and try to join a server!

Thanks!

Hi,

I have tried everything and none of it has worked, still not getting into games - starting to lose hope 

I have tried all of the below

1. Downloaded and installed Smart Port Forwarding, set up ports for 3659
2. IPconfig in CMD - followed instructions exactly
3. Downloaded and installed Vcredist_X64 and the other one
4. Disabled Firewall, and created exceptions for BF3, BF4, and Origin
5. Tried 'Game Boost' thinking that might help
6. Restarted my PC about a 100 times... and still nothing!

Please can you give any other advise you can think of...

The only other solution to my problem is to change to my other ISP - Neotel, but the lines are slow and unstable which results in constant desync and having more problems.

Please help
