Hi,
Whenever i try to join a server on battlelog it gets stuck at "Connecting" and then shows an error message saying: "Game disconnected: could not join server."
So far i have tried the following:
-Sign out and back in
-Reinstall Battlefield 4
-Reinstall Origin
-Reinstall the battlelog plugin and punkbuster
-Using a diffrent browser
-Allowing Battlefield 4 and punkbuster in my firewall
Worked fine just a couple of days ago but now i can't join any server. Campaign works fine though :/

That is not the same issue however. Your error message tells you that your punkbuster is not working. I get the exact same thing if i uninstall punkbuster. We are talking about an error that gives you no reason for the failure.

I also have this problem with getting disconnected from every server. I tried uninstalling punkbuster from bf4, but then i got a different error (the same as the person above). I tried reinstalling via punkbuster.com and it still gave me that error. What i thought was weird was that when you add BF4 to PB, it puts PB in the BF4 folder, but when i uninstalled it, it was in a subfolder called _installer>punkbuster>redist. I installed to this folder, and it removes the error message, but i still get the error, disconnected from server. This leads me to think it isn't a punkbuster error at all or atleast one that is fixed by reinstalling it. This error started randomly one day. I didn't update or change anything. BF4 is up to date and so is punkbuster.

I had this problem too when i uninstalled PB and reinstalled it from the punkbuster website. Go into your main BF4 folder. You should see pbsvc. Drag that into the _installer>punkbuster>redist. This is where PB should be. You will no longer get the punkbuster error message like you said.
Edit: Tried the smart portforwarding thing and it didn't work. Here is the link anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uPdM3MkL80

Just got off chat with EA (completely asinine) and my advisor's solution was to reinstall the game... That doesn't make any sense since it is a connection error. But here is the chat log:

Today I've been getting the error for almost every server I joined. No specific servers are affected, it seems to appear randomly (but often), sometimes I can't join one server because of the error but if I try later on the same server it's wroking again. I am so absolutely furious about this.
