Battlefield 3 Punkbuster

Every time I join a Multiplayer match it says this,

ERROR
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'sniperxpro12' (for 0 minutes) ... No Packet Flow
 
I have a decent computer and good internet.
  • Hello! @Snipez_Avo

    Try this:

    1) Check that you have made an acceptation for PunkBuster in your antivirus or firewall
    2) Check that you have sufficient remaining storage
    3) re-install the game and PunkBuster on a different drive or a new file location

    Also, check this link: https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654489421801795/ and check @IIPrest0nII ´s link, it is quite helpful.

    Hey @Miro_von_Turiec,

    if you receive a "No packet flow" message, this would usually mean there's no communication between the PunkBuster client and server.

    - Please try to add PunkBuster as exception to your firewall, antivirus, Windows Defender.

    - Download PunkBuster manually on the official website and install it (again).

    - Check out the post from @ragnarok013 over here.

    I have a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit , I did play before BF3 ... BF4 and BF1 work fine , i'm only having a problem with BF3 , I deleted everything , Format PC , Reinstalled game etc....

    I did everything you could find in Forums , allow ports , allow firewall ... reinstall PB setup , Uninstall , Delete every PB folder , Uninstall and Reinstall.

    I even did PB A.exe and PB B.exe to run as Windows 7 Comp as someone said just Install Windows 7 in your pc as a OS , but anyway I had Windows 7 before and was still getting this

    I don't know or have any idea why , I got Bf3 for free ... I bought BF4 and BF1 on other account they work fine , I know went to realise like they are blocking the Free accounts somehow idk i'm not sure , any solution that someone got a fix after trying everything , something that is not shared in forums that helped after trying everything.

    Thanks

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with BF3 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
