Battlefield 4 Keeps kicking me for punkbuster

I keep getting kicked from every server within the first 5 minutes for a Punkbuster communication failure.

I have researched and updated my punkbuster, i have deleted my pb files in bf4 and updated i have allowed them in my firewalls.

It all started when i updated my battlefield 2 punkbuster last night and now it wont let me play this morning. 

Help! Would like to play on this boring sunday.

    Ok, first delete the game completely, delete everything about the game on your PC. Second, delete your PB completely, leave no trace of it on your PC. Third, delete Origin completely, remove everything about it. After you do this, perform a clean boot of your Windows program. On how to do that, see this page here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 .

    After you are finished, download Origin from this site: https://www.origin.com/en-ie/store/-ANW.html (press "Download" in the top left corner of the page), and install it.

    Then do this steps (do not install the game from the disc):

    1.Go to Origin.

    2.Log with the account, you registered your game on.

    3.Go to "My Games" section of origin.

    4.Press your game icon.

    5.Press "Download".

    5.After it is finished, install it and update it and you are all set to go.

    For expansions: 

    1.Go to Origin.

    2.Log with the account, you first registered your game on.

    3.Go to "My Games" section of origin.

    4.Press your game icon.

    5.Press "View Game Details" or the "i" button.

    6.Scroll down and you will see your expansions, in your game expansion set.

    7.Press your game expansion icon.

    8.Press download.

    9.When it is finished, install it and update it and you are all set to go.

    After you have finished, try to play the game. Also before you start, delete your browser history.

    If the error is still there, do all the steps above again and it should work.

    If this helps, please click the white XP button and to give me some XP.
    If this solves your question, click the green solution button and mark it as solution so it can help others with the same problem.

    in the last days I also have this problem, started after uppdates. but this is an old fix, not sure if it will work today.......... or?

    That is to mutch to do, must can fix on better ways.

  • I'm having the same issues where origin + punkbuster = booted from game by punkbuster from all the Battlefields.  It seems the only thing that works (for BFBC2) is to run it without Origin and I'm good.  BF3 and 4 only work through Origin client running so thats another headache.  I also agree "Remove game and origin" is the most cop out resolution next to a reformat.  Why not offer that as a solution.  "Reformat windows, reinstall everything and that will work"

    servus!

    any solution until now? i have the same problem.... 

  • Insane1900, your problem may be different, have you used any cheat prograns? As you have a global punkbuster GUID ban. The only way you can appeal it is by opening an Evenbalance troubleticket. If you click the link below it will take you straight there, you will need the kick line it should appear at the bottom of the battlelog server page which you can copy then paste it into the ticket.
