As I said above I did a complete reinstall of Windows, drivers & Origin / BF4 and I still have the same issue. According to that it's not something on my side and rather a damn buggy game. It is clearly something they fkdup and need to fix.
I played fine on the 21st. Quit the game and shut down my pc & went to bed. Worked the next day (Friday the 22nd). Got home, started up the pc, and started BF4 and when I tried to join a game this crap started.
I changed nothing. My PC was not even on inbetween.
EA/DICE just does not seem to give a **bleep** as we already bought the game and there has been NO response from their side. Live chat helps you nothing as the ppl there knows even less about the game or PC's in general. All they can do is quote you things and give scripted replies.
Well, I formatted, but stayed on 8.1 and installed Runtimes and generic Windows updates. Installed Chrome. Installed latest AMD drivers. Then Origin and the game.
And still the issue occurs. Addon still doesn't install right. No other addons or security settings are enabled in any way. UAC is disabled. Tried x86 version of the game, no difference.
I'm not gonna do this any more. At this point it needs a patch or something, but if having a virgin pure OS doesn't fix it, I don't know what will.
So appearently this is still ongoing.
Now i just try and if it works it works, and if not it doesnt.
However the amount of posts regarding it seem to be goiing up. We cannot play the game at all. Random crashing is better than this, as we have nothing who have this issue.
I have the same problem, but I have 2 nvidia cards, so not just an AMD issue.
Same issue. Using AMD graphics, latest drivers, and on Windows 7. I cannot understand how this can be so bad. It is almost every single server I try to join as well, and the same error message (breifly) shows up on battlelog. Is there really no work around from Dice / EA???
I thought I was alone with this "Error disoconnected you have been kicked from server) issue but it looks like more and more are occcuring. The problem with this forum is that this post will get lost amongst the sea of complaints. There is no subsections for consoles and our issue of not being able to play the multiplayer portion of the game has the same priority as a rant about where the spot button is on the PS4 controller.
Even the OP(original poster) has discovered the source of their problem and while that is **bleep**ty thing to happen it doesn't help with all the other issues that have been brought up here.
I am considering starting up a new topic with the title "Error disconnected you have been kicked form server" but Im not sure that will help as the Error message is so brief that it dissapears before the game shuts down and so a lot of people don't see it. for the moment I will direct people to this one if they appear to have similar issues.
Still have my support tick open with punkbuster on Note #24 now but no closer to the source of the problem.
