As thoroughly documented and technically confirmed, the recent and repeatedly server crashes and "lost connection to BF4 game server" are NOT due to the server providers or the internet connection or setup of the end-users playing the game. It is due to do EA's own backend infrastructure!
And EA needs to take appropriate action to get this fixed asap, as we are daily bleeding players from the EA BF environment due to EA's inaction to rectify the problem.
Here a list of the recent server crashes that I personally have registered. Of course not online myself 24/7, so obviously even more are most probably happening. But this should give insights to how deplorable poor the EA BF4 Server situation is right now.
(Yes, I already raised multiple support tickets with EA HelpDesk on this. But nothing is so far done to fix the root cause of the problem. This despite we have paid good money to EA to rent these servers and players gets the bad experience every single time the server crashes.)

I welcome other server renters to chip in and add their own observed server crashes here below, so we can start to have some transparency on this apparent and widespread problem. I will then keep updating my own post here, as the crashes will keep happening until EA fixes the problem behind them.
Up!
EA wants us to buy BF2042,
Servers crashing every 30 mins. The game is unplayable on PS4.
Got 4 crashes on 3 different servers in only 30 mins
EA has to fix this problem asap.
When I'm done with BF4, I'll be done with EA all together, I've been buying EA games for 20 years, and if this is their way they're treating their costumers, I'm done.
Not our fault if they chose to go woke on 2042, glad they were so interested in pleasing the 0.01% in our game community and chase away the rest, not our fault.
If I wanted to play COD I would of bought it years ago, They must not stand watching a 10 yrs old game doing better then their newest game, lol
very sad ending to such a wonderful creation. I'd hate to believe EA is the cause of the crashing, but if it is, then there goes their excuse that they don't support servers anymore and don't have access to them.
There's hardly any more Hardcore Servers left, they're achieving their goal, I'll probably be next, gone forever.
