    The first way to repair it is to go to your games library, right click the BF3 icon and select "repair" which will repair your entire game installation to include PB. If that doesn't work go to the PB website and manually download and install the latest PB client.

    I tried both of these solutions and neither has been successful. I have the same error. I opened a ticket with Punkbuster and its been days since.... I'm going to appeal to EA to give me my damn money back for this game if this isn't fixed soon!

    Hi,

    in some cases it benifits to remove the PB folder from the game folder, before PBSETUP is run.

    Best regards,
