Hello, about 2 weeks ago I started having network problems while playing bf3 and bf4.
So, my speeds when I'm the only one using the net are these:

And when the TV is on and my brother is playing the download is around 5-8mbs and upload is 1-2mbs while ping stays under 50ms.

So, when playing bf3 I get lot's of lag but the game doesn't quit. But on bf4 the game quits and gives me this error: "GAME DISCONNECTED: CLIENT CLOSED DOWN CONNECTION":

So, in bf4 that occurs even when im the only one using the internet while bf3 I don't know cause I haven't tested it if nobody was using my net.


What I have done so far:

* Port fordward all ports for both games still (nothing)
* Restarted the router (nothing)
* Reset router (still nothing)
* Called the network operator and she did a reset of the cable line (nothing)
* No background processes like skype, facebook or other stuff
* I have moved from windows 8.1 pro to windows 10 pro (nothing)
* But I haven't reinstalled the games, I just copied them from one operating system to another as they are huge in size.


How is my system setup?

I am connected through a wireless adapter and I haven't still tested an ethernet connection.

My PC specs:

Intel I5 4690
MSI H97 Gaming 3
Gskill Ripjaws 2x4Gbs 2133Mhz
Asus GTX 970 Strix 4Gbs


Anyone has anyidea what is going on?????????????

Ugh, wireless gaming. Could be your adapter. Could be the modem. Could be your wireless access point (router.) Could be radio interference - microwaves, radios, other routers using the same channel (even from a neighbor.)

Has anything changed in the environment that you can think of since this started happening? You could login to the wireless router/access point and set up Quality of Service for BF.

I understand you don't SEE any background processes but do you have Malwarebytes? Get it here https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/ and run a scan and see if anything turns up.

And yes, as dextermat said - a hard wired connection will be a great troubleshooting tool.

I have malware bytes and I have no malware on my pc.
So far I think I found a temporary fix by disabling the firewall and antivírus. Next step is trying with that on but with a wire connection.

I will update my answer as soon as I got na solution.
 


Sounds good. I also remember having a similar issue with BF4 a while back. For me, I went into my Norton firewall and adjusted the "program rules" settings. Make sure Battlefield and anything related (like Origin and Punkbuster) are set to: "full control" or "allow." Also, I found this video linked to a thread in the Origin forums...
