Re: Server Timeout Error - Might be CPU temp overload related

It was actually hitting 60+ which means it could probably be hitting upwards of high 60s or low 70s. So if it's overheating briefly in game and freezing up the PC, I would think that could be causing the server timeout issue. Considering all other EA's suggestions for resolving the server timeout issue hasn't worked, I can't rule this out as a possibly. I did not have the server timeout issue before the Fall patch and I'm able to go back and play BF3 fine with no server timeout issues. So logically I can't rule out overheating being a potential issue in my case.

I have tried the following fixes:

• Updated Punkbuster
• Updated BattleLog plugins
• Tried multiple browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox)
• Restarted PC after each change/update
• Updated to latest Catalyst drivers (v14.9)
• Reverted back to old Cataylst drivers (v14.4)
• Repaired BF4 install
• Run in DX mode
• Run in Mantle mode
• Reinstalled Windows 8.1 Pro and re-downloaded Origin games

Did not have the timeout issue before Fall patch. Have I missed any resolution items here?

If you were having overtemp situations then you would be seeing bluescreens and/or spontaneous reboots.

Server timeouts are caused by connectivity issues. Try the following:

• Power cycle your router
• Connect to your router directly with a cable rather than wirelessly
• If possible, test with a different router
• If available, update your router firmware.
• It may be worthwhile testing connectivity while using Google DNS: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

I had already tried:

• Power cycle your router
• Connect to your router directly with a cable rather than wirelessly

Still had the error. If my router was the issue wouldn't I be having the same issues playing BF3 or surfing online? Also, I can swtich to my gaming laptop and play BF4 fine without the server timeout issues wirelessly and on the same router.
