Ok, here are some steps you can try that can minimize the occurrence of this problems:
- Uninstall the Plugin (in control panel>uninstall) then delete the containing folder placed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlelog Web Plugins
Fix for Mozilla FireFox:
- Install the latest plugin
- go to Addons (Firefox menu) -> Plugins
- Search for ESN AND Battlelog
- Set both to: always activated
- close firefox, start it again and it should be fine then
For Chrome:
-Clear Browsing Data ( Settings/Privacy )
-Reinstalling the plugin by logging to Battlelog again
-In the search bar typing the following command: chrome://plugins
-Checking the box Always allowed for ESN Sonar API and Battlelog Game Launcher
-Restarting the Browser
-Log back into Battlelog via Origin (Play from Battlefield4 icon )
-Join a Server
For Internet Explorer 11
-Restart IE 11
-From Internet Options/General tab -> Clear Browsing data -> Delete button
-From Security tab, slide the bar to bottom -> Medium Protection
-In Trusted Sites -> .battlefield.com should be added along with battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/ and battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/
-It will require a System Restart in order for the 7 step to be applied.
-Log in again into Battlelog and download again the plugin.
-Join a server.
First, do this steps: http://help.ea.com/en/article/battlefield-4-punkbuster-troubleshooting/
Also, try this additional steps, if the above does not work:
1. Open windows firewall
2. Click advanced settings( on the left) and then inbound (also left)
3. Find PnkbstrA.exe and PnkbstrB.exe (if you have two of both, its fine)
4. Right click on each of them>properties>programs and services
5. Make sure that "all programs that meet the specifications" is checked
6. Then go to the "Advanced" tab and check all 3 boxes. Domain, Private and Public.
7. REMEMBER TO DO THIS FOR ALL PnkBstr Files. Then save and quit.
8. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 and delete "Pb" folder.
9. Go to these 2 links:
http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloader/download.php?file=1
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe
10. Download and install both
11. Run Pbsetup.exe (the first link)
12. Add a game (eg. bf4)
13. Check for updates.
-Reinstall DirectX.

With respect xxxo77o4906.
I cannot be bothered to do any of that and nor should I have to, DICE should be doing the work, not me, I paid £60 for software that I don't have to debug, that's why they have QA teams.

Well, I just provided the steps that can help with the problem. You do not need to do them and are not asked or forced to do them. This is just an alternative to help you until the patch comes from the teams. It is better then just waiting and doing nothing but it is your choice if you want to do them or not. I just provided the means to help you and you should not be angry for that.mileywink: But you should not tell others not to do it as it could help them.

xxxo77o4906, sorry I'm not angry, not with you, I know you're just trying to help.
2014-01-28 06:35 PM
to bad i already done all of that haha.... Did not help of course
2014-01-28 06:37 PM
Its been 5 days now and still no response from the EA SPECIAL team haha. Lets see what they come up with haha -,-. Maybe he didn't get my email or is he trying to reproduce it? Who knows..

xxxo77o4906 I as well as others do appreciate the effort, but I've tried all of those solutions and still nothing works.
I added the 'Smart Port Forwarding' app and applied the TCP and UDP ports and there was an improvement, but after an hour it was back to being just as difficult to join a game.
Whatever this problem is it's either PunkBuster or EA that initiated it. I had no problem connecting before 3 or 4 weeks ago. An update to one of those apps must have triggered whatever is happening. It's just so frustrating that there's no official acknowledgement of this issue for players and no attempts to fix it at the source.
As others have said, we shouldn't have to be messing with all these local changes to try and fix something the game broke.
