Hi @go7roo7 I see that you've already tried the command prompt thing (which would have been my first suggestion), updating Origin and several other fixes from Battlelog, here and other sites. Did you try reinstalling Punkbuster and adding BF4/Titanfall to it? I've seen mentioned a few times that Punkbuster can cause this prob. -Reinstall Punkbuster.Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 and select pbsv.exe . Choose 'reinstall'Install advice for Punkbuster https://help.ea.com/uk/article/punkbuster-technical-issues Let me know how you get on and if you get it working again.

I forgot to mention, yes I did do that. I updated PB for both BF4 and TF. / Reinstalled PB several timesThis error randomly started up, I was playing fine last saturday and by mid day it began. To this day I have not been able to get it fixed.BF3 however still works fine...so I guess I have that going for me..

@go7roo7 this is a weird one. And its hard to find much more info on fixes other than the ones you've tried. When you uninstalled/reinstalled Origin did you restart your PC for the changes to take effect? Taken from TartFlavor on http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/FHn1s/battlefield-4-beta-help 1. Open your Origin Application settings 2. Scroll to the bottom and make sure "Update to the beta version when available" is UN-TICKED 3. Go to http://www.origin.com/download and download the origin client 4. Fully close Origin if you still have it open 5. Run the origin install you just downloaded 6. It will say you have a newer version installed or some **bleep** - Click "Yes" you want to install the new version and overwrite the previous install. 7. Once it's finished installing, give your computer a reboot"

Yes, I found the thread with those instructions and followed them. No avail.

@go7roo7 its been suggested to me by one of the EA community managers that this issue may be Origin related and some registries are blocking you from your games. You should delete all Origin files from your PC in order to re-install the Origin client.

I am installing BF4 on a fresf win8.1 install. If it works something is up with my win7 OS, or hosts file or something..

I installed win8.1 on a new hdd and I am able to connect and play just fine on servers.

Now I need to see what the hell is wrong with my win7 OS or settings that are causing an issue with LSX server.
Any Ideas where I can start?

Hello @go7roo7, I'm glad you got it working again.

As I've said previously your problem was a strange one. I haven't come across similar on these forums that couldn't be fixed by the steps you'd previously tried.

Did you talk to any of the offical EA games advisors to see if they can shed some more light on what exactly was going wrong?

I did but they all told me the same scripted stuff.
restart your router...
check for malware....
uninstall origin/ Battlefield....
turn off firewall....
Something is obviously wrong with my OS, since the game worked just fine on a fresh install.
Now its just a matter of finding out what is causing Origin to not find the LSX server...hell I even checked my hosts file to see if any IP was being blocked, or if any malware was running me through a proxy...
