(PC)- Cant Connect online Battlefield One

(PC)(Windows 10, GTX 960, i5) Bought the game on Friday and it was working until Saturday afternoon.  Now it just thinks I am offline, and when i try to connect it says cannot connect to bf1 servers.  I can see friends online and playing, and when I try to join their session it gives me "unknown error".  I have made no changes to my PC since  I bought the game.  My internet is working and I can play other games online with no problems. 

Here's what i have done

-restarted my PC

-reinstalled origin and BF1

-checked to make sure all drivers are up to date (including my router)

-rest router and modem

-Opened up my NAT, made my computer a DMZ, and turned off firewall

-repaired BF1.  (through origin)

Im all out of trick now...

    Hey everyone,

    Hope some of you have fixed the problem. As for me, I have found a solution that may help all of you. Go into your documents and rename your Battlefield 1 game save folder as Battlefield 1_old or whatever.

    Then open BF1 and allow origin to sync the cloud save.

    And voila it started working for me.

    I bought the game and played for over 20 hours with no problems. Then some time last week I started getting the message "can not connect to session" when trying to get into a server. This happens with all servers. I uninstalled and reinstalled with no changes

    Yup, same issue. Origin says I'm online but BF1 cannot seem to connect to any servers, the menu doesn't load correctly sometimes either. Please dice, please fix this. I have 100 hours into the game already.

    As we wait, I looked around and seems like a lot of other people are reporting this problem.  One suggestion that seems to work is to try and disable your computers firewall and try again.  I guess when it updates, sometimes it doesn't get added to the firewall exception list, so try that.  Unfortunately I tried that originally and it did not work for me, but I am hopeful that it will work for one of you.

    I've tried that multiple times. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the game and I just uninstalled and reinstalled origin. Hoping when I get home it'll be working but I'm not very hopeful at this point.
