Problems joining co-op games

Yo. 

Everytime my brother and I attempt to join a private co-op game with each other on the PC, the game attempts to join and we get a failure message. We've both tried turning off our Windows firewalls and it didn't help. Any ideas? 

Thanks.

    Please follow this workaround for update issues with Origin:

    Download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well)
    If that doesn’t helped, close the origin client and go directly to you origin folder  C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a rightclick -> run as administrator. 


    This worked out in the most cases, if not, try to deactivate your firewall/antivirus software and/or check the online ports of your connection:

    TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
    UDP
    : 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300
    For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

    Please let us now, if this problem after this workaround still exist.

    Cheers

    I gave those a try. No luck. My brother did, too. Same for both of us. I set up a private game, invite him (or vice versa) and it says joining game. The name pops up on the other person's screen then disappears after a few seconds. Then we get the fail message. I play other games with him and haven't had this issue today.

    Any ideas?
