Error code 1, BF1, PC Win 7 64 bit

What does "Error code 1" mean?

I try to play multiplayer on BF1. I go to server browser, I select a server, I click join and quickly get Error code 1 or Unknown Error code 1 or something like that.

Today, it happened with these 2 servers:
Salty Noobs

***Fragshack***Salty Noobs

I don't know if it has happened with other servers. I have seen this message a few times before. This problem seems to have started since a few months ago.

The counter shows that some people are on the server, so I guess not everyone gets Error code 1.

When I get that message, clicking OK does nothing. I have to do End process and start BF1 all over again. Talk about bad programming.

I'm on Win 7 64 bit (up to date)
Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6 GHz
GTX 980 4 GB (driver almost up to date)
8 GB DDR4 RAM
but I don't think that matters.

    Hello iluminatethesky,


    Thanks for the reply.
    I am already logged in as admin, so Origin and everything runs as admin.
    Flushing the DNS cache is something that you do when an IP address of a server changes. Also, my problem happens even when I turn on the PC, launch BF1, go to server browser and I try to join a serevr. So a reboot is like flushing the DNS cache.

    I will try to disable some startup services.

    I only run MSI afterburner (to see GPU temp, GPU usage) and CPUID HWMonitor (for getting CPU info, motherboard info, temperatures, fan speeds).

    It looks like it started to work again. I connected to one of the SaltyNoob servers yesterday and today. I think the problem comes from EA servers since I didn't change anything on my side.

  • Error code 1 means Admin banned you from their server. Both Salty Noobs/Fragshack are owned by same salty admins that have nothing better to do than ban people who are doing better then them. 

    Error Code 1 - server ban. 24 hours, 1 week, 1 months, 1 year or perma, good luck finding out

    I got banned the other day for playing on Amiens with Mortar truck. Server was Salty Noobs all conquest (allows mortar trucks). But after being a top player for good half of the game, I had to drive mortar back to spawn area as I was being ganked by assault squad of admins trying to blow me up. I drove back to spawn area, then immediately got kicked saying, "spawn camping mortar truck". Then I tried to log back in and it came me Error code 1. Admin banned me...salty lowlife
