It appears this issue has finally been fixed by EA so hopefully this problem doesn't come up again.
Are you and your brother connected to the router via Wifi? If so, this is most likely the issue. Try to have both PCs connected via Ethernet cable and this should solve the issue. I play on the same server with someone else in my house, but we are both connected via Ethernet and have no issues.
Hey Tony, thanks for the reply but my brother and I are both connected via ethernet cable to our modem so, this is not the issue. I recently spoke to one of the technical support workers and he told me to disable origin in game to solve the issue. I have only played one game so far on this method but so far it has worked, some more extensive testing needs to be done though. Here's the instructions that he gave me if anyone else is having this issue:
Disabling Origin In Game
1. Click on Origin on the top left.
2. Click on Application Settings.
3. From the left side menu, click on Origin In Game.
4. Un-tick the checkbox for Enable Origin in Game.
5. Go back to your Games Library. Right click the icon for your game and click on Game Properties
6. Tick the checkbox for Disable Origin in Game for this game.
7. Click on Apply.
Really? Origin In-game was causing the issue? That should not cause connection issues. It usually causes stuttering issues, etc, but has nothing to do with connection. Let me know if the issue persists since you only tried one round so far.
Ok, trying this new method did not fix the issue it is still kicking me out of the game. I feel this is only and issue within the 40 man game modes because when I last played I was playing the heros vs villains game mode, which previously did not display this kicking issue very often. Upon my brother joining my game, I get kicked out of the game and get the message "you have been disconnected from EA Servers".
I do believe this issue is caused by the new major update and I really hope this gets fixed because not being able to play with your brother and friends is really annoying.
Hi people/persons
I've had this problem too, total nightmare. It was barely an issue on release..but as updates have ensued the problem as become much more prevalent. If my brother connects to my game, we both get kicked and cannot rejoin, restarting origin does not fix it, nor does turning it off in game. Please fix this soon, this game is rapidly declining in playability. The lack of a server browser is a complete joke, nothing gets me feeling more excited than sitting waiting for it to search for games to settle on "Cannot find any empty games".
Please fix
sincerely one of many unimpressed purchasers.
