Battlefield 4 joining server stuck

Hello,

i'm having the problem that when i wanna join any server, the blue bar with "joining server" comes up but nothing more..i now waiting since 15 minutes but it just don't happen anything. I see BF4 as a subprocess in the taskmanager but not doing anything ( no cpu, disk or network load ).

i tryed de-/install the game & esn sonar & browser & browser plugin

i also switched browser between firefox v25, chrome v31 and ie 11

i'm on windows 8.1

edit: campaign shows the same pattern: "initializing" -> nothing happens

i hope someone can help me. Couldn't find something useful with google ( just the reinstalls i already did )

greetings

  • HI ALL,
    I might have another solution for this! Maybe you've tried it but if you haven't, it's worth a try. I myself when completely mad on how to solve this and for some reason when I started bf4, the joining server message got stuck and Windows asked permition for Origin which I thought was kinda odd. So I un-installed Origin and downloaded it again, installed it... and it works now.. I dont know why and I dont know if this will be the solution for everybody but its worth a try! Good luck!

    So I had this issue too - and the fix for me was changing where I had the installers save location. It was pointing to a location that was no longer writable, I pointed it to a folder that it could and I could join games again. Hope this helps someone.

    Hi, this stuff is repeated again and again on these forums but........here's some common solutions to common problems such as continuous loading, etc...........

    -make sure that you've updated your drivers to latest version (go to Nvidia/AMD website)

    -make sure you have installed all updated service packs for windows and rebooted your computer.

    -Do a repair install of the game in Origin.
    In origin right click your game and from drop down choose repair install.

    -Make sure that you've installed latest version of Punkbuster.
    http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

    - make sure that your firewall isn't preventing the game, Punkbuster or Origin from launching.
    Also check the quality of your internet connection.

    -Make sure you download and install the latest Battlelog plugins.
    After you have installed them you should clear your cache, exit your browser then restart your browser, and then re-login to Origin to ensure proper install.
    If this doesn't work then you should try a different browser (Chrome/Maxthon, etc)

    -Disable Origin in game.
    In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

    -If you are using a 64bit operating system make sure you're running the X64 version of the game.
    Start Origin, Right Click on BF4 game to select 'game properties', and choose X64 in the 'when launching this game' drop down menu.

    -Reinstall DirectX.
    1:go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\directx\redist
    2:Find file named DXSETUP.exe and double click it (while connected to the internet). Install it. It should update your DirectX install.
    3: You might need to reboot computer first.
    4: try to launch game.

    -Reinstall C++ redistributables.
    1:go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist
    2:Doube click vcredist_x64.exe/ vcredist_x86.exe and follow onscreen prompts.

    -In some cases your Microsoft C++ redistributables (or lack of certain ones) might be causing the problem.
    1. Download this file - download link http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/VC-Redist-Installer-Download-216678.html [softpedia.com]
    2. Run the file.
    3. In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game.
    4. Restart PC
    5. Try to play the game now.
    The above file installs all the C++ redistributables in one package. Windows update can sometimes miss some of them which prevents the game from starting and causes it to crash while loading (the whitescreen and error message your getting).

    This is easy Turn on user account control. restart computer and play.

  • I was having this issue with BF4 using chrome i found a fix for my issue that may pertain to yours. in the address bar of your chrome web browser type in about😛lugins and it should show a list of browser plugins you have make sure that box for always run is checked.
