I just purchased a copy of BFBC2 and installed it. I am getting a little tired of Crysis and need a new game until Crysis2 or better.

I couldnt get any pings nor join any games let alone even login!

I havent looked into the real cause but here is a solution of sorts.

  1. Run as Administrator
  2. Disable Windows Firewall

This seems to fix the problem.

 

I Will find out the real cause/fix when I have time. For now I am just going to switch the FW on or off depending on what game it is.
