BF4 stops responding before it launches. "You were disconnected from EA Online (1)"

Please check this thread for suggestions: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/battlefield4-beta-You-were-disconnected-from-EA-Online-1-why/td-p/1604287

Antifreeze's post on page 1 and cheungtom's on page 2 may help.

Thanks.

I tried both of the solutions. Still doesn't work for me. Same error still. The weird thing is, that I could  sign in yesterday evening in my home network without any problems. But it doesn't work for me in my office network.

I hope anyone can provide me with a solution ASAP. Thanks.

Ah, it might be worth talking with your work IT admin then, in case they have something in place which may be blocking this.

I spoke to the IT guys, there's nothing in place. And I also played it before in this network without any problems. I'm really confused now. 

I found out, what's the problem. My Origin account keeps signing itself out within the origin client. I'm using Origin in the online mode after logging in. 

But if I click on my picture in the upper right corner. My account status seems to be offline! Although I'm logged in. Why is that?! I repeat I'm not in the offline mode of the programme. 

WHY IS THAT?!

Thanks for your help.

PS: This morning I managed somehow to be online with my account and I could play BF4. Just tried again a minute ago, stopped working again. 

I'm hoping this isn't a temporary fix, but this is what I did.

Go into your origin client, and then click Origin > Go Offline.  Then, try to join a game.  After it says "Error - Disconnected from EA Online ⚽", go back into your Origin Client and click Go Online.  Then, reconnect.  It worked for me!

My game is working now.  I repeat, my game is working now!  Try my fix!

Read the message on battlelog, and the following post on battlelog forums

"NOTICE: WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ATTACKS ON OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS IMPACTING ONLINE GAMEPLAY ON BF4 PC. WE ARE WORKING ON MITIGATING ACTIONS"

BF4 PC Online (EA) Infraestructure is under attack. you just have to wait for them to mitigate it.

Try this:

1) Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
2) Copy "hosts" file to your desktop
3) Open "hosts" with Notepad or any text editor
4) Check if you have anything like "127.0.0.1" beside any EA server and DELETE that line
5) Save and replace "hosts' into the original directory.

Hello,

Hi guys, 

I just ran my game for days without any problems. Since today, there's no way to even log in to one multiplayer game of BF4. The only thing I get is the following error message: "You were disconnected from EA Online ⚽". Never happend before. BF4 worked absolutely perfectly until today.

I didn't change anything. I already tried to update Punkbuster, deactivate Firewall, restart, relogin into Origin, etc. Nothing helps.

Could you please help me ASAP? Thank you very much.

Cheers, padrino.

I had this exact problem.

Try checking to see if your Origin account is online. Open Origin and check your profile picture at the top right hand of the window. If it is not in color and is black and white then you are offline. Sign in online and try again.

This process worked for me and I hope it works for you!
