Continuing my log:
Today we've had an 600Mb update, but didn't fix the problem.
I've tried this:
1.open CMD
2.type ipconfig /flushdns confirm
3.type ipconfig /registerdns confirm
4.type ipconfig /release confirm
5.type ipconfig /renew confirm
6.type netsh winsoc reset confirm
7.restart ur computer
And didn't work
------------------
Adding stuff that I tried and failed:
1) Editing host file in windows/system32/drivers/, removing 127.0.0.1
2) Disabling NVIDIA Shadowplay
3) Uninstalling GeForce Experience
4) Manually re-adding PunkBuster to ProgramFiles/OriginGames/BF4/PB/ and re-running PBSetup
5) Playing the 32-bit version (gives me Invalid License, Code = Missing DLL [MSVCP110.dll] Error: 0x7E)
6) Running PunkBuster Service Test
7) Removing ™ in the Regedit (Windows Registry Editor)
8) In Audio > Advanced, removing selection from "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" and "Give exclusive mode applications priority"
9) Removing NVIDIA Audio Driver
10) Trying "Repair Installation", but didn't work
11) Tried to connect through other ISP (distinct physical connection)
I still cant join servers with more than 5 players

EA/DICE what kind of network checks are you doing to see if we are still connected? Something like that has to be causing this problem since we are already connected and playing on a server when we get kicked out with the 'client closed down connection' error. There has to be some network check that is failing for some stupid reason. Fix it! Damn, I only ever have network port issues with DICE games, no others of my large library have issues. It's a triple A game with shoddy network problems. Other games set themselves in Windows firewall and work through routers without issues. I have no idea why you can't do the same with the budget you have.
Oh, and I've got UPnP on my router SSDP running and all the other stuff. Everything worked well for me in the BETA once I got SSDP running (didn't need it for my other games) but now in the release version I get disconnected after playing for 10-15 minutes. This is crap. Unscrew what you screwed up. Bastards.
