    I have this problem with every game on Battlelog but it will let me join any server. It wasn't there when I went to bed 8 hours ago but it is now and all games are too slow to play.

  • I have a 2.06 k/d ratio
    I quit 21% of the time
    I have roughly 2000 kills and about 1000 deaths
    I have a score per min of 586
    Why did I get banned?

    I have the same problem, I have a kd of 5 and an accuracy of 26%, if I get banned for this reason, I denounce all

  • The message everyone is seeing in Battlelog is just a news/status ticker and is not specifically targeted at you. It just lets everyone know  if there are any possible issues that you might experience when you launch a game.

    It's an automatic punkbuster ban, false positive triggered by who knows what. Has nothing to with with server admins.

    Ignore the message and play as usual. If you get banned you will know because it will happen in-game while you are playing and you will get a message in battlelog saying you were kicked for 2 minutes by punkbuster for GAMEHACK 81#### (not exactly sure of the number).

    If this is the case wait patiently for news of an update (will probably appear in battlelog in the same place) , and update punkbuster. Be sure to run the updater in your punkbuster folder within the battlefield 4 folder and you should be good to go. (no point in trying until you see some news about it)

    Pretty standard stuff, don't know why everyone is panicing and asking why they are banned based on a Battlelog ticker message without actually trying to launch a game. Battlelog doesn't know if you're banned because it's not connected to punkbuster. You would only find out when you try to launch a game and you get kicked back to battlelog with a message stating you were banned by punkbuster.

    FWIW if you do get banned by punkbuster you can still play on unranked servers that are not running punkbuster. To filter for these in the server browser, uncheck official and ranked and check unranked. Just beware that non-punkbuster servers frequently run non-standard settings or have actual hackers playing on them. Also, you will not earn points towards rank and may not be able to use unlocked weapons/modifications but you will be able to play a bit.

    I had all the same problems described in the forums - BF3 would be super laggy starting on 6/20 then the next day wouldn't launch at all - would try to join and the crash.  Started getting kicked from BF4 as well - then today started getting this :  

    Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827]
     
    Took the following steps ( not sure which was effective ) - 
    1. Disabled Origin In-game
    2. Reinstalled BF3 and BF4 ( default step whenever anything screws up )
    3. Disabled the RPTR AMD Gaming Evolved stuff
    4. Disabled the Logitech Gaming software
     
    Now I've been playing for several hours no problem.   Maybe I fixed it, or maybe it was a coincidence and it fixed itself.
