***FIXED*** Connection Problems - Disconnected from EA (1) & Origin could not start up (-5ef7ffff): The LSX server didn't respond within the set timeout.

My problem started with not being able to join any servers, with an error about being disconnected from EA.  Then yesterday changed to the new error about the LSX server.  Below is how I fixed it. Ha...

Can't play BF4 Open Beta... I keep on getting this error. I can successfully connect to the server, but when I'm logging in, I get:

ERROR
Origin could not get code (-5ef7ffff): The LSX server didn't respond within the set timeout.
 

I also had problems with BF3. Whenever I try to play, I always get the "BF3.exe has stopped working..." error. I could not find a solution to that problem either.

So now I can't play BF3 or BF4. Seriously, I'm pissed..... and extremely frustrated.

My specs:

Intel i7 4770k @ 3.50 GHz
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H
Samsung 840 Pro 256gb
WD Caviar Black 1TB
MSI GTX 760 OC Edition
Cooler Master Silent Pro M700 PSU
16gb Crucial Ballstix Sport 1600 MHz @ 9-9-9-24 timings
Windows 8 Professional 64-bit

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated... Origin is extremely annoying. I wish BF3/BF4 was on steam.....

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

 

  1. Open your Origin Application settings
  2. Scroll to the bottom and make sure "Update to the beta version when available" is UN-TICKED
  3. Go to http://www.origin.com/download and download the origin client
  4. Fully close Origin if you still have it open
  5. Run the origin install you just  downloaded
  6. It will say you have a newer version installed or some crap - Click "Yes" you want to install the new version and overwrite the previous install.
  7. Once it's finished installing, give your computer a reboot
  8. Load Origin and play some BF4!!!

Fckn finally!

 

Let me know if this works for you guys!

      Me neither on my PC or my work PC (don't tell the IT manager!)

      Neither did removing all proxy settings, disabling all additional network connections, or VPNing to servers in Europe which sometimes helped get BF3 going.

      Good job I don't take EA at its word these days and haven't pre-ordered!
