    Looking for some help here because I must be missing something, got the game on Friday and so far I haven't been able to join a multi player game. Nothing works for me, cant join quick match, joining a server just gives me a black screen with loading flashing across it.

    Have anyone got any ideas, would appreciate any help.

    Thanks/

    Flashing means it loading for me, no flashing means its crashed.

    But how long does it take before you get a game? does quick match work for you?

    Tried a few, not getting a damn thing, something else must be up with it.

    EDIT: getting the feeling it is firewall settings

    Hi OP I've the same issue and using on ps3. Haven't played a MP match since I bought it. Fiddled with my Internet but to no avail. I've scoured the net for a solution but nothing. But There is a lot of people with this problem.

    If anyone finds a fix or has anymore info please post here! I'm stuck between a rock & a hard place :( I only bought it for online

    Something similar was happening me earlier, and i repaired the game in Origin. It had to download about 1gb of files, and than did a repair. Worked fine after that.

    ^ yeah might give it a go, I'm using Avast IS and there are known issues with it, its seems battle log and webshield don't get along so I added an exception for that, pretty much trying everything now short of disabling firewall which I don't want to do.

    Still stuck on this, goes no further ....
