Hi @ericdabomb309 ,
Error ( 1 ) is typically the result if trying to join a server upon which your soldier is banned. Here since January or so, we have had a server side bug, that unfortunately gives same error situation to the player, despite not being banned on the server. It is typically on servers that you have played previously, that for wrong reason think that you never left them. It means that the server responds back to you declining you to join it, and provides that error code.
Unfortunately we dont have any solid workaround except that the server's 'player memory buffer' fills up and then in the end your player name will be purged from it's list. Or another workaround is if the server owner get's the server cold rebooted, so the server cache memory is flushed to start again from scratch.
We have tried to contact EA tech team on this. Their response was along the lines of being aware of the bug, but that they have no plan to fix it until further. Sad for us, but just a reality with this old but still great game we play. Hopefully the BF2042 Portal will be working as a good BF4 replacement for us.
@CyberDyme that is very unfortunate to hear. it isn't every server, only 1 that i play regularly. somehow last night i was finally able to get on and play, and now im getting the same error
Yeah fully agreed @ericdabomb309 ,
It is a miserable bug that EA has allowed to linger on our BF4 servers now!
Some players have reported that logging on to 4-5 others servers first, and then going back to the favorite on which you appear blocked have in cases helped them to get back to it.
What appear to catalyze this situation to happen is if the player looses the internet connection to the server during active gameplay, or do not close down the gameplay by going through all the formal Game/Quit process.
Aka pressing the on/off button on a console may trigger this error situation to appear more frequently if leaving an active gameplay this way, versus if you go through the lengthier BF4/Quit process and then close the BF4 app before switching all off...
Its because the EA BF4 server wrongly thinks that you are still active on the server, as if it never got the signal that you quit from it. If some EA techie wants to see the hard technical proof of this, then contact me! (which they didnt followup on previous either, when we last had a lengthy debate on this...)
