@webhaus For your router unplug it for a full 10 min no less then let it boot up as well as do this for settings and please do them all.....
Run the game as Administrator:
Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x64)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.
Run Origin as Administrator:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.
Disable Origin in game:
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game
Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General
Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
1- open origin and go to My Games
2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
4- Hit apply REBOOT your PC and then test your BF4
Reboot PC test BF4
If all this fails to fix it then try this...
C:\Users\your PC Name\Documents\Battlefield 4
BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.
1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop for now.
2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
3-Repair BF4
4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.
I almost thought I had it, after pulling the BF4 folder out of My documents again. I had done it before, and it didn't work then. The was lasting a little longer than normal, then it gave me the error again.. "Game disconnected: Client closed down connection. Check your network connection and make sure that port 3659 (UDP) is open."
Any more ideas?
@webhaus Have a look at this video it may help you if you have not tried this yet....
Thanks for the input. Been there done that a long time ago. I'm a network admin, and my computer IP has always been fixed. When i first saw the UDP error message, I forwarded that port on the router right away, but it didn't help.
I had the error three times last night in the span of 40 minutes. Lost 15 xp because, after waiting in queue, i joined back in at the last minute of a round on the losing team and got killed once.

The latest update seems to have made this problem worse for me. I can't stay connected to a server for more that 5 minutes before getting disconnected now.
