Error code 1, BF1, PC Win 7 64 bit

[kockBall]

What does "Error code 1" mean?

I try to play multiplayer on BF1. I go to server browser, I select a server, I click join and quickly get Error code 1 or Unknown Error code 1 or something like that.

Today, it happened with these 2 servers:
Salty Noobs

***Fragshack***Salty Noobs

I don't know if it has happened with other servers. I have seen this message a few times before. This problem seems to have started since a few months ago.

The counter shows that some people are on the server, so I guess not everyone gets Error code 1.

When I get that message, clicking OK does nothing. I have to do End process and start BF1 all over again. Talk about bad programming.

I'm on Win 7 64 bit (up to date)
Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6 GHz
GTX 980 4 GB (driver almost up to date)
8 GB DDR4 RAM
but I don't think that matters.

Hey @kockBall,

Hello iluminatethesky,

Thanks for the reply.
I am already logged in as admin, so Origin and everything runs as admin.
Flushing the DNS cache is something that you do when an IP address of a server changes. Also, my problem happens even when I turn on the PC, launch BF1, go to server browser and I try to join a serevr. So a reboot is like flushing the DNS cache.

I will try to disable some startup services.

I only run MSI afterburner (to see GPU temp, GPU usage) and CPUID HWMonitor (for getting CPU info, motherboard info, temperatures, fan speeds).

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for the information you've provided.

It looks like it started to work again. I connected to one of the SaltyNoob servers yesterday and today. I think the problem comes from EA servers since I didn't change anything on my side.

Error code 1 means Admin banned you from their server. Both Salty Noobs/Fragshack are owned by same salty admins that have nothing better to do than ban people who are doing better then them. 

Error Code 1 - server ban. 24 hours, 1 week, 1 months, 1 year or perma, good luck finding out

I got banned the other day for playing on Amiens with Mortar truck. Server was Salty Noobs all conquest (allows mortar trucks). But after being a top player for good half of the game, I had to drive mortar back to spawn area as I was being ganked by assault squad of admins trying to blow me up. I drove back to spawn area, then immediately got kicked saying, "spawn camping mortar truck". Then I tried to log back in and it came me Error code 1. Admin banned me...salty lowlife
