This was an image of the page of my ISP, where I can control all the settings of the router. The brand of my router is Hitron BVW3653:

It sucks as a router .. But for now it is working.😕mileylol:
When I was creating the rules of forwarding ports i realized that there was already three rules already by default called Battlefield series, Battlecom, and EA Tunnel. I applied them and added two more that I called BF4 TCP, UDP and BF4 (but you can give the name you want...). Look here in the image below:

And also did what mhunl has suggested some post above:
And I made an update to punkbuster.
Moreover .. I did nothing more.
Hope this helps.😕mileywink:
This is not a game or computer specific problem, but a server specific.
On the servers, slots become corrupted. So there are fewer slots available than shown. When one becomes available, the game will try to put you into the corrupted slot. But since it is corrupted that doesn't work, and you get the disconnected message.
The only way to fix, at the moment, is to restart the server. And you would have to do that every 24 hours, as that is the least amount of time it takes for a slot to become corrupted. Most servers don't want to force all the players out, so they just let it go. The longer the server us up, the bigger the chance for more corrupted slots.
Here is a simple drawing of it:

Edit: I know this is not a solution, but this is the explanation for those who can join some servers, but not 'almost full' servers.

Upon readin this, I went and tried to join an almost empty server. No problem. I go right back and try to join the server with 30/32... error.
I think you are on to something.
I have had this issue for days, I did what I stated above earlier, and have not an issue since.. Maybe you should actually try it.. even for people who have Windows Firewall disabled, it has still worked. My friends and I have been playing all day, using the fix listed above.. no issues.
I've tried it, tried everything suggested on these forums to fix a problem that isn't my problem, and still it takes 10-15 tries to get on a server.
Just to add, you can easily join servers that aren't near full, 5 or more slots free, which makes me think the poster above, who said that slots get 'corrupted' over time was correct. That's the problem.
i have since tried only joining servers with more than 5 slots open and it has not failed once.
