Hi,
I keep having my connection to the server time out. It has been happening for the last few months and I haven't been able to play uninterrupted for longer than that.
Error
Game Disconnected : Your connection to the server timed out.
I also have the occasional message saying that I am logged onto two computers. Please advise if someone has hacked my account and hence that could be why I'm having these issues?
Cheers,

If all this fails to fix it then try this...
C:\Users\your PC Name\Documents\Battlefield 3
BF3 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF3 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF3 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.
1- Go to my Documents and remove BF3 folder place it on your Desktop for now.
2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
3-Repair BF3
4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF3.
