Can't connect to BF4 Servers

So I tried playing BF4 again but every time I try to join a Server i have long loading times, like 10 minutes or something like that and after waiting for that long it just freezes and i get kicked to the main menu with a message that i couldnt connect to the server.

I have already tried reinstalling the game

Restarting my PC

Setting all textures to low

And i have already tried to do these things: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/

Tech Specs:
Windows 10
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400

Cheers

    Thanks for following up!

    Have you had a chance to try setting a different DNS in Windows to see if that makes any difference at all? I've seen some cases in the past where using a different DNS can help with similar issues. 

    You can update the DNS through the Windows TCP/IP Settings. For more information on how to get there check out the Microsoft Support website. If you choose the Manual option you can enter a DNS of your choosing. I usually go with the public Google DNS (primary DNS: 8.8.8.8; secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4), but if there's a different DNS you would rather use instead that's OK as well. 

    Please let me know how that goes once you've had the chance to give it a shot. Thanks again.

  • @EA_Kenthi, I am having a similar problem where I am unable to connect to certain PS3 24 player Bf4 maps such as Parcel storm, railway, lacing dam, Hiaan resort and flood zone. the rest of the maps work but only the ones above don't load and freeze on the joining screen with the white bar at the top frozen forcing me to remove the disk and go through the PS3 restarting screen and system files restoring.

    things I have tried

    - connected and linked ACC with origin

    - deleting game files and installing again

    - rebooting the PS3 system

    - restarting the PS3

    I have attached a ss of what it looks like on my ps3 with the white bar frozen, the music stops and I cannot use the controller.
