Can't play BF4 Multiplayer (PC). At all.
Hey guys, I just got BF4 for PC and as I am perfectly able to play the singleplayer campaign. I cannot at all get into any games online. Anytime I try, the cames icon will pop up in my taskbar, but after about a minute it will close saying "cannot connect to server" or something like that. Something interesting is, the exact same thing would happen in BF3 PC. So it'd be great if someone can help me out as I just got the game a couple days ago and am eager to play. Thanks.
