SERVER DISCONNECTED
After playing BF1 online for the past week with no troubles, 3 days ago it just stopped working.
Every time I go to join a match or server, the game starts to load the map before cancelling with a pop-up box that says;
"Connection to EA Online timed out. Your network bandwidth and/or network latency may not meet the requirements for the game."
This happens every time I try to connect to any game now. BF1 is now unplayable for me after just buying it.
I have used the following guides to try and fix the issue;
https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/
https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-pc/
Unfortunately none of these guides work. Although after searching the forums the past couple days I have noticed that plenty of other users have had or are having these problems on BF1 and BF4. Some of the posts have been changed with [Solved] on the title but none of them are solved.
I've forwarded ports, flushed the dns cache, tried disabling firewall/antivirus. Restarted origin, the computer, the router. Updated drivers, re-installed the game.
Above minimum specs for the game. Download speed at max is 9.4 mb/s. What's the deal?
The suggested fix for it seems to be "It might work if you just keep trying it."
I've sat and tried to join matches for waaaay too long at this point. Ha.
Its not a hardware or internet connection speed issue. I play a lot of other online games and I have no problems with them.
Again, I have been playing for almost the past week with no problems, 60 fps while playing and low latency the whole time. Nothing has changed on my end but now I am being told there is a problem with my connection when there is not.
How do I make this game work? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
