I have a consistent issue with BF3, that is I can and join a game without any problem, but if I leave that game whenever I try to join another map I nearly always have real trouble getting into a game.

Either it is server connection time out or not able to connect to a server issue.

Really frustrating.

Re-starting Origin does not always help, however re-booting normally always does.

Any ideas would be really appreciated.

Which browser are you using for Battlelog? I had a lot of problems with IE and Battlelog. I switched to Firefox just for Battlelog and haven't had any issues with it since.

An update, that might be of use to someone.

I read in forum before that you could turn off UPnP in services.msc, this did not do much for me.

However I also read you could disable this also by logging onto your router - this did work and my connection issues seem to of gone.

I hope this is of help to someone.

I just also found this old tweaks link - I hope I am ok to post this link ?.

Good luck
