2017 and we still have the Punkbuster kicking issue!!

Hello @Urbanx-_-xKnight

Can you please try to play via battlelog http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/ ? And if you will be kicked by PunkBuster again, then please write here the PB error message.

Thanks!

I used the in game system because I was facing the same issue in battle log but with longer message but it's the same "Punkbuster Kick (No packet flow)"

Try to update/reinstall PunkBuster https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/battlefield/punkbuster-technical-issues/

I have not been able to play Battlefield 4 DUE TO PUNKBUSTERS KICK since a week ago, I spen 4 hours plus online with origin their so called tech screwed my pc all up. Then it was suggested I go to pnkbuster.com and create a problem ticket and then wait to hear from them, well as I said it's been over a week as of (%/2/2017) I tried to go to  Battlelog you suggested and error says--

Dear EA

I keep receiving the following message :-

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'SPe209GB' (for 2 minutes) ... Bad (Disallowed) Name 

Can you please explain why I am receiving this , I do not cheat or use unwanted software .Login via battlelog  - could this be a case of another player causing this ?

Thanks 

Just had same issue after all these years Cant believe its still happening trick goto punk buster website download and run updater but ensure you right click on executable and set "Run As admin"

If that sill doesnt work goto "Allow an Applicaiton though your firewall" in windows settings

Ensure you click button at top to "Change settings"

Ensure you have ticks in both boxes for all BF4 apps.

If still not set the origin executable  app to "Run as Administrator" under compatibility options.

Good luck.

i have the same problem by 5 month , everytime on every server i m kicked by punkbuster , what the hell is wrong with this game? or  this error is caused by EA for remove players from bf4 to buy this shi**t game BF1 to play? ... i buy bf4 leave me to play this , i dont like bf1 is a big banana for kids.  fix punkbuster for play i m critical furstrated by this error.

Hey @ZeRg-XT,

it sure is annoying when you cannot just jump into a game you wanna play. There's several reasons as to why Punkbuster might kick someone from a server. To narrow down the reason, the error code might help. So as @IIPrest0nII mentioned, can you please try to play via battlelog http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/ ? And if you will be kicked by PunkBuster again, then please write here the PB error message.

Thanks!
