    Hey @Sc00p_ZA,

    try this.

    Head to the Battlefield 4 installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 by default).
    Open the _Installer folder.
    Inside it, open the Punkbuster folder.
    Open the redist folder.
    Find and run pbsvc.exe to update or repair Punkbuster.

    @Sc00p_ZA If you launch BF4 from Battlelog you should get the full message of why you were banned. If it is a Punkbuster ban only Evenbalance can lift the ban. No one here can lift this ban. So go to Evenbalance and make a ticket.

    @Sc00p_ZA Se if you have these two services PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB in services.msc.

    In the run box type services.msc, scroll down and see if both are set to automatic and are running. If not set them to automatic and run then relaunch the game.
