Game disconnected: your connection to the server timed out.
I get this messege almost everytime i try to play the BF4 Beta. I can ALWAYS join a server and it loads very quickly, but 90% of the time I can't finish a round because of this error. I have a solid gaming pc and can play the beta with all graphics on high no problem. I do use a Wi-Fi connection but it is always strong around 130 mbs. I have noticed when the error occurs my internet connection is momentarily lost, but recovers as soon as the game drops.
I understand this is a beta and a very fresh beta at that...but since I can't find anyone else with this same problem I'm completely stumped as to how to fix it. I'm worried this is a problem only I am having.
I trieed to play BF3 and it works fine...never drops me out of a game.
I've tried a bunch of fixes already and am resorting to the forums for some help and advice...please this game is so awesome...I need to be able to finish a round!!!

Same problem here. I can't even join a server. When clicking on "Join" I have 5 seconds before BF4 quits with the message described above.
I hope this will get fixed soon, cause these connection problems have never been fixed in BF3 ...

I have noticed that the ERROR does not occur when I play in servers where my ping is around 100. Most players would search for a room with minimal ping, which is what I was doing when I constantly got the ERROR message. I usually played in rooms where my ping was between 10 and 30 or so. I played 3 rounds in a row without dropping when my ping was around 100.
So anyone getting that ERROR and getting dropped from a game due to "Timing Out" try playing in a room with higher ping than you normally would.
Yes it lags a little more but at least I can finish around. I obviously don't want to do this forever but for now it seems to work.
Give it a try and let us know if my theory is true or just a fluke.

Nope :\ still seemed to happen, well... actually, i joined a game in tokyo with 180 ping.. which is not near 100, since there was none at 100, so idk

Hey guys, i found the solution.
Go to your router interface and disable the UPNP.
Restart your computer,
and play !!

God this is getting worse and worse the more I play the game and it's driving me crazy!

So I had luck playing on a higher pinged server. I was playing on the low ping ones and now I played on a 80 ping one and have played about 10 rounds with no dc.

Playing on servers with a higher ping doesn't help me.mileysad:
