Do you use Portmaster by Safing or any similar programs?

Restart internet router/hub for 1 hour, if it still doesn’t work try restarting for 6-8 hours.

Ill try restarting it and go from there. Thankfully i have other games to play, just super annoying

There is a ”secret” custom time to refresh router and get new IP, depending on your ISP, unless you have super perma static IP which is rare but more common in the USA.

Hey, folks
Checking in on this one. Have you been able to connect since this morning? Did the error ever stop? If not, which map and mode are you trying to connect to that you get the error?
Thanks

You will have to check with your ISP.

Been having the same issue since season 4 launched, getting kicked every other match for "inactivity" or just losing connection to ea servers

Every other game doesn't connect to the same servers as Battlefield. Plus, there have been many times when certain games get flagged by an ISP or by the antivirus, firewall, etc. So while other games may work, updates, anticheat, software, etc., may conflict. When it comes to network issues like this, you have to start at the bottom and work your way up to see which steps do and do not work, unless someone with the same issue found a step with the same setup or changed a configuration setting that prevented them from disconnecting.

Have the Xbox settings or Steam settings been changed in any way? ISP/Routers/Networks are notorious for allowing more consoles to go through than PC programs. This is why, oftentimes, using a Google DNS or something similar works on one but not the other.
