BF4 stuck on "connecting"

Hi,

Most of the times when i try to join a server it won't go past  "connecting". And if I open the battlefield 4 window its only a white screen. Only sometimes it works to join a server but that happens about every 5. or 6. try so it takes very long to get in a game. I would really apreciate any help.

    Hi, i think i found a solution. I saw a message on a french (I'm french) forum from a man who asked for this problem. I'll try to translate their answer :

    1- update your computer drivers (at least the GPU driver i guess...)

    2- update directx (microsoft.com)

    3- update your .Net framework (microsoft.com)

    4- unplug all your USB devices (except mouse and keyboard)

    5- update windows

    6- update BF4 and repair (from origin, right click on the game)

    7- deactivate "origin in game"

        open your origin, go to the menu "origin" (top left corner). Choose "application parameters" (maybe an other word, but probably the same meaning)

        Here, click on "origin in game" (once more, maybe other words...) and uncheck "activate origin in game.

    8- execute BF4 as administrator

    9- deactivate (temporarly) firewall and anti virus (including windows firewall)

    10 - "Clean Boot" : on windows, execute -> msconfig -> service signet -> check "hide microsoft services" -> disable all

         reboot your computer

    If this doesn't manage to fix the issue, they say that you should contact EA support...

    I hope it will help you !

    PS : sorry for the approximative translation...

    Spent a couple of days  trying to figure out the Direct X Issues, those are gone but have been replaced by the loading hang

    ups after trying to joining a MP server, sometimes it joins other times it errors-out.  When a match is completed, it also hangs during the 

    scores, etc...I recalled this problem from the early BF3 days.  

    The simple solution for hang ups during launching a game is to "click" on the BF4 icon that's

    in the taskbar, this will bring up full screen of BF4, when the server info says "joining server" then "logging in..." on the taskbar, wait

    a few secs for BF4 icon to appear and click it, waiting for the program to go fullscreen seems to hang it up.

    After a match is completed, come out of full screen, as soon as it begins to change the page for loading, click on the

    icon again in the taskbar.  It's not a permanent solution but it'll take some of the pain away, until a patch is out.

    It's specific and it might not apply to you but it might help some people out.

    Specs:

    AMD FX6350

    EVGA GTX 650 TI Boost OC 2GB (#331.65)

    ASUS M5A97 R2.0 (Bios, drivers updated)

    Crucial Ballistic (2x4) 8GB 1600

    Antec 620 Watt HGC

    WD 7200 1TB 64mb cache

    WIN 8.1(64)

  • thank you for your help wahahoo. i will try it out tomorrow and tell you if it worked. does it work for you ?

    btw. your translaition is not bad, i could understand all.
