Stuck at Joining Server
I've spent the better of today going through way too many solutions to solve this issue. Nothing at all has worked. Hell I even bought new hard drives and did a fresh install of Origin and Battlfield...
Forum Discussion
@H4V0XX No worries it only will replace bad window dll and windows files main thing is it got fixed. I have never looked over a log file from it ....heck it never gave me a choice and I am admin on all my PC's lol. I would run the windows scan again to be sure it is fully cleaned up then try the steps in the first post I did.
Edit.... Also on my two game rigs after I click join server in task bar a BF4 emblem shows up left hand side of task bar have you clicked on it to get the game to open?
Do you get any error at all when trying to join a server?
@2042isNotBF doesnt even show up with a emblem or nothing to click.. eventually tells me that there is a communications error and i have to close it in the task manager?
@H4V0XX You could try this Source: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-flush-dns-cache-for-windows/.....
Regular internet usage causes your computer to automatically cache IP addresses and other domain name system results. Clearing (or "flushing") this cache will refresh the data, getting rid of outdated data that may be causing connection issues.
Note: These steps should be completed using an admin account. You will be typing prompts into the CMD console, so it is very important that you enter the commands exactly as shown.
Also, the following steps are specifically for PC players.
Windows 8
Navigate to the desktop.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. (This will open the Run dialogue.)
Type cmd and press Enter. (This will open a command prompt.)
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /registerdns and press Enter
Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
Reboot the computer.
Windows 7
Hold down the Windows key and press R. (This will open the Run dialogue.)
Type cmd and press Enter. (This will open a command prompt.)
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /registerdns and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
Reboot the computer.
Windows Vista
Hold down the Windows key and press R. (This will open the Run dialogue.)
Type cmd and press Enter. (This will open a command prompt.)
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /registerdns and press Enter
Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
Reboot the computer.
Setting an alternate DNS:
While a DNS refresh might solve your connection problems, the DNS itself could potentially not be working as intended, and connection issues will continue no matter how many times you flush your DNS cache.
You can check if you DNS is failing by trying to switch to a public DNS like Google DNS by following the steps on how to use Google Public DNS straight from developers.google.com.
https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using
Google DNS might actually be slower than your normal DNS, but is useful to test and see if your connection problems are coming from your local DNS.
If you continue to have connection problems, more connectivity troubleshooting steps can be found here.
