Does anybody have any idea what could be causing a "connection to the server timed out" error that i'm getting every 30 minutes or so?
The problem is definitely coming coming from my own plusnet connection, I don't have any problems when using a neighbour's wifi.
Any thoughts really appreciated!
Ben

Everytime I try to get on a server I get a windows error message, then I get can not connect to server, then the third time I get onto the server OK. Half the time I get disconnected at map change, or sometimes when I have been killed. It is typical of EA to bring out another Beta as the full product.
The worst one is when you are a gunner in a heli and the pilot gets disconnected

Quote the worst thing i get is "BF3 has stopped working " apart from that i play fine with no dissconects
Thats good to hear.
I think my problem is when I got the game I started installing it and it was downloading from origin for about an hour, and I thought this cant be right, surely the BF3 disk contains more than just the origin exe. So I stopped the download and fiddled about until I got it installing off the disk. To be fair I haven't had a mid game or end of round disconnect for a few days since I got my new GFX card (which in turn made me have to buy a new PSU aswell . 20 amp rails were not powerful enough to run my newe GFX card so had to get one with at least 30 amp on the rails.
So all I have to do now is format my computer and have a fresh install now I have switched from ATI to Nvidia and then I can install BF3 fresh from the disk and maybe my connection to servers will go smoothly.

Quote from: banana87 FYI, disabling UPnP on the router has fixed the disconnect issues, cheers!
Interesting... We've not got a copy of Battlefield 3 in the office however I'd like to get to the bottom of this issue. If possible please could you get a Wireshark capture of the problem (with uPnP enabled)? If not then we'll purchase a copy and replicate ourselves.
Thanks,
Matt

I noticed that taking UPnP off works a treat but harms console gaming. Could be worth doing the trace route to EA but you will notice that when UPnP is on the route times out at there end, when its off no issues. Had similar problems for years with CS, BF2 and warcraft. I think it comes down to the amount of hops the route has to take and having UPnP on causes errors/timeouts after each hop.

What a complete nightmare BF3 connection has become.
I am getting HTTP 500 internal server error, when i log into BF3 BATTLELOG, and when i try to launch the game, using the game icon and or ORIGIN.
I have completed a net trace for both PLUSNET and EA, but still cant connect.
I have completed a PORT FORWARD check using the below link
www.portforward.com
and used the below link to check.
https://help.ea.com/article/online-ports-for-battlefield-3
I have completed a clean boot with the help of a microsoft link.
I have tried using FIREFOX
I have even tries the UPnP off on the THOMSON 585v8 which was supplied to me from PLUSNET.
I have even paid for a 3rd party software to clean registery and check for spyware.
NOTHING WORKS
Can anyone help. PLZ
