Hi insomnatech have you tried all this...

Run the game as Administrator:
Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

Run Origin as Administrator:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

Disable Origin in game:
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General

Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
1- open origin and go to My Games
2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
4- Hit apply and test you BF4

Another thing that may be worth trying: run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.

If all this fails to fix it then try this...

BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.

1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop or trash.
2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
3-Repair BF4
4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.

I am having this problem now as well...

How do I get rid of punkbusted. It is ruining gameplay.

If this continues & there is no resolve soon we will have no alternative to take legal action against ea & even balance!!!

Are any of you using an Overlay? e.g. Teamspeak Overlay or any macro mice or keyboards?

Origin Overlay

How to turn it off: Origin > Application Settings > Origin in Game

Teamspeak Overlay

TS3 Client -> Menu "Settings" -> Plugins -> Disable "DirectX overlay plugin"

I just assigned Scroll Wheel to Shoot and it booted me too...

I Just made a recoil macro to test it and I got booted almostly instantly when joining the server...

Im running a Logitech Mouse..

UPDATE *I just assigned Scroll Wheel to Shoot and it booted me too...*

UPDATE *Reset all to default and its working fine*

Some program is running in the background which Punkbuster is not allowing. To make sure try doing a clean boot before playing: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Hi, I know this is a kinda old post, but this is the exact same problem I'm having. I tried running and installing punkbuster again, and when testing it says "Is PunkbusterA and B allowed explicitly?" "NO" to both. How do I make it allowed explicitly? I have allowed them as much as I can in my firewall. It is really damn annoying getting kicked all the time, and I don't want to deal with it anymore. If I can't deal with it, I can't play the game...

Please help.

Razer synapse did it to me i was using game mode on my key board so I could use the alt key with nvidia surround without changing Surround profiles. Punkbuster did not like this and kicked me. It took it 5 matches but it kicked me.
