[Error] Game disconnected: your connection to the server timed out.

[yndm20]

Hello, I am unable to play at Battlefield 3, because when I am playing the game crushes and I got this message:

"Game disconnected: your connection to the server timed out."

I have already tried to update Punkbuster but the problem persists.

I have Windows7 64 bit.

My brother uses the same connection and has no problems with BF3.

Is there someone that knows how to fix it?

Thanks!

We understand whats mean the game disconnected error, but what is your answer?

I cant play bf3, because i got all the time the same error. And its became after the last patch.

I dont use firewall, antivirus or something... I play black ops, enemy and quake all the time and never got this error.Whats wrong?

I solved the problem by deactivating the upnp.

I found it, and im trying but dont work too. 

1.Press: Windows-button (the one between lAlt and lCtrl) + R, a window should pop up. 2. Write: "services.msc" (without the ") then press enter. 3. In the list of services, scroll down to "UPnP Device Host", click it and press "Stop service". 4. Now do the same thing but with the service "SSDP Discovery". 5. Exit the window and go to control panel-> Network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Centre-> Change advanced sharing settings (to the left)-> Under "network discovery" select to turn off network discovery. 6. SAVE CHANGES

Then I suggest to contact the EA support, its response-time is very low.

Try running the game as administrator, that could  work. 

To do so, Right click the .exe, and select "Run as Administrator".
