BF4 - Error - An error was reported from EA Online

When I try to connect to some servers I usually admin on. 6 of the 10 servers I admin for I cannot connect, each of them giving me this message at the bottom of the page.

I usually join / launch through EA battlelog, however, If I try to join the same servers directly through BF4 the game I get a different message...."You are not allowed to join since to you or your third party member have been banned from this server".

I've discussed the issues with Snr AE51 Admin and they too are stumped as to the cause of the issues.

EA brainiacs, can you shed any light on what has been faultless connections for over a year plus been an admin for that same period.

  • The past 4 days have been frustrating to say the least. While I appreciate the various suggestions and the few people that offered possible solutions, it appears to have been rectified by the weekly server reset. Nothing on my end needed to be changed, modified or updated. No new software need to be added or ports changed. Super annoyed the automated (EA) reasons for not being able to connect were misleading and far from the actual issue / problem.

    I was hoping an EA tech would see my post and check into it from their side

    From my OP - I've discussed the issues with Snr AE51 Admin and they too are stumped as to the cause of the issues.

    Since you can join other servers, it's definitely not related to an EA account ban. Have you double checked with the server owner if by mistake you were banned?

    HI danisoff​ 

    Thank you for your response, I can join quite a few servers including 4 of the 10 AE51 servers I help admin. This error has only started in the past few days. No changes have been made my end ie updates or software in or around that time.
