Game disconnected: client closed down connection. DURING GAME.

While playing somewhere between 10-20 minutes on a server, Everything on the server suddenly freezes for 10 seconds, followed by the saving black screen, and closing the client.

IF YOU CAN READ PROPERLY; THIS MEANS I AM ABLE TO JOIN SERVERS. NOT ABLE TO JOINING ISSUES ARE NOT RELEVANT ON THIS THREAD. Yes, you too EA. Ignore page 2-6.

 

Pretty much confirmed by now: it's a server issue. (crash). Fix please! :D

 

Followed by a error message on battlelog: 

Game disconnected: client closed down connection.
 
This is very frustrating, as I can't play any game lasting longer then 30 minutes without losing all my progress.
 
I did not have this issue during the beta.
 
System:
OS: Windows 7 x64
CPU: i7 3770K 
GPU: Radeon HD 7970
RAM: 8GB
Internet connection: 60 MB/s
 
''Fixes'' I've tried:
- Update Punkbuster
- Opening ports
- Google
Spoiler

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

None of those worked though. Hope someone is able to help me.
