Error could not join server Random disconnect possible fix (?)

★★★ Novice

Greetings, this is not exactly a question but a work in progress for many having this issue. I been trying to post on battlelog forums but battlelog hangs so here goes.

 

I seem to have found a solution to the infamous Error .Im not very experienced in snooping around on my own troubleshooting but i will continue working on this issue till it is solved. after doing everything that is available on the web ( if you google BF4 Error: Could not join server Soccer ball and do everything....) the only thing i couldnt seem to find is pnkbstrB service being stopped all the time. I never get a pnkbstrB error message but most likelly if you go to task manager under services , you will find pnkBstrB status as Stopped ( i hope it is the issue cause its fixable with method below)
.Also for some reason, installing pbsetup+pbsvr.exe puts pnkbstrA.exe and pnkbstrB.exe in syswow64 under windows but NOT pnkbstrB.exe in system32 ( in all my troubleshooting i am running game 32bit to be safe). So here what i have done and SUPPOSE it is fixed:


Windows7(64bit)


1. copy pnkbstrB.exe pnkbstrB.xtr pnkbstrB.ex0 from syswow64 to system32( if you dont have the last 2 then maybe its not important).
2. hit windows button and type: allow a program through windows firewall ( btw all .exe around orgin/battlelog/bf4 should be here even if firewall is disabled ) To avoid frustration i also ticked PUBLIC box on all associated .exe
3. add pnkbstrA.exe and pnkbstrB.exe files from system32
4. (speculation step) my syswow64 pnkbstrA.exe and pnkbstrB.exe files have their name here without the .exe in the end so i removed them and add again and now the .exe is present!
5. hit windows button and type: services.msc
6. locate pnkbstrB > hit properties > Recovery > make all 3 failure selections state: Restart the Service > apply
7. restart pc
8. pray to your deity.


p.s. one more thing i did before this in close proxy is:
open cmd.exe , then type:
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/registerdns
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
netsh winsock reset
and restart ( i have no idea if its related... i just do EVERYTHING)

 

i have a 36% quit ratio all in 3 days with this error Soccer ball getting kicked literally every 2-5 mins and now after this i been kickless for 2 hours!! there was a black screen like a freeze at a moment but the game just minimized and then i could get back ( could it be B crashing and reseting?) let me know if this was helpful to anyone . i will post if i get the error again...

I have this problem since a week ago, I made all web solutions.
I noticed the same thing as you but the problem is still here, I'm thinking it might be my internet.

I have talked several times with EA Frown

Percebi a mesma coisa que você mas o problema continua aqui, estou achando que pode ser minha internet.

Já conversei várias vezes com a EA Frown
