For Battlefield on PC, please enable the following online ports on your connection:

TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300

For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

  So eaBarry...why would that have anything to do with this because as soon as the current game ends on the "problem" server, you can join with no issues.
  EDIT: BTW, connecting to another server works fine, disconnect from that one, go back to original server and can connect fine.

  Opening ports do not work. I have disabled my software firewall/anti-virus and put my computer in the DMZ on my router and still having connection problems. It seems to happen when there is a queue to get into a server that I cannot join. It is very annoying and hope it gets fixed soon.

  Are you seriously expecting people to forward ports 80,443 to a desktop machine? BF4 needs a goddamn web server to run, or what?
