@CyberDymethis thing just happen to me on a infantry server. Everyone on the server left, almost nobody was spawning. Then suddenly my own internet went down. Had to even reset my router. When i checked, the server was empty. I dont even care to play anymore if my whole internet crashes from this bs.
Indeed @YUMSKIS_27 ,
It is very disturbing and very frequent for the time being!
Though I can tell you that it does not take down your own local internet. It doesnt.
Though the message that we get from the EA game itself appear to maybe hint at that, it is matter of fact not correct!
It is all happening on the EA BF game server itself. (confirmed by EA's partner in Europe, who hosts their BF4 servers). It is getting overwhelmed by the DDOS attack load and then at a certain point breaks down in the sense it suddenly starts to drop the connection to all connected players, as it cannot keep up with maintaining the synch required within given time limits on the network.
Unfortunately the now old BF4 client application does not know well how to handle that error situation, so typically it will also leave your own client software in an error state, for which there is no 'run time error handling exit controls'.
So while you may actually get back to the main menu in the game application, if you ask it to join the server again, then it will simply state "Joining server...". But it will matter of fact never do so, as its still stuck in your old error state in your network to the server end.
Only way out of that for all the affected players is for them all to close down the app and restart the BF4 app again.
The real root cause and where this has to be fixed is of course on EA's side!
And then work together with their BF4 server hosting partners.
EA should get serious about chasing down these DDOS attackers and then also perma-ban the EA player accounts associated with that activity!
@CyberDymeThese are people who have been identified as racial haters of the Chinese Communist Party, But the problem is they haven't received any punishment from EA until today.
On the contrary, I have been bullied by these people, and the Facebook life circle that harassed me intensively was also intimidated.
My PayPal account that receives server donations also received a malicious donation of $0.1 from these people because he wanted to report me as a fraudster and tried to block my bank account.
Just because I don't accept the political ideas these people are forcing on me, I lost my job and my normal life because of this, just to satisfy these racial haters and get happiness.
You can see the news that China is harassing Japan's phone calls and life threats, This is the way many Chinese people think, No one can change this.
In the past few days, China DDoS attacks servers in North America and Europe again.
If you are unwilling to punish any Chinese criminal, Please end Battlefield 4 global multiplayer immediately.
This way we can request a refund of server funds, Because we are on a 30-day lease per month, we cannot play the game normally, which is unfair to us.
Chinese people really are something else...because YOU are under attack, the entire game should go down?
I dont give a * about chinese servers, I play NA and EU. These servers are stable and populated.

I must say you are a stupid idiot, Because you always ignore that damn Chinese criminals are killing servers in EU and NA too.
In fact, these guys also launched intensive DDoS attacks against servers in Russia and the United States, The number of players in both region is being lost every day.
Do you dare to say that it has no impact?
I can confirm that this is a major problem for a lot of BF4 community servers. I am playing BF4 since September again and servers keep crashing, sometimes 3-4 times an hour.
I must say that both DDoS attacks and the Blaze server attack mentioned by TNE are possible reasons.
But the reason in Asia is very simple, Chinese criminals use UDP attack tools to launch attacks, How to launch an attack can also be easily found on Google.
Anyway, Asia has become Pandora's box, Even Asia has become Schrödinger's cat box, You can't confirm whether the DDoS attack is still there, you can't ask about Asia, and you can't open the box. (Because in the 24 hours of "every day", No Asia players are willing to stay.)
Whether you like it or not, Battlefield 4 is a money game, All servers are renewed and maintained using player funds, It’s not like using everyone’s funds and micro-transactions to stay alive like Battlefield 2042.
As a consumer, as a server owner, we need to be treated with reasonable respect, This is what we deserve.
You've been complaining here for YEARS at this point and still haven't unsubscribed? lol
