Bf4 Punkbuster kicks me after 5sec -.-

since March 2019 i have a problem with Punkbuster, i cant play BF4 anymore. 5sec after i joined a server punkbuster just kicks me without any information why.... i actually full reinstalled origin and the game and still the same problem. Even with a new Windows installation from win 7to10 on an new hardsisk i have the same problem. Never Cheated or got banned for any reason..

    @l_MrPiggy_l you are most likely banned by punkbuster. You need to join a server via battlelog and see what the kick message displays within battlelog. If you were banned in March of this year: you were most likely banned under violation #83018 or #81668. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done. Evenbalance will not unban you and EA will not move to act on their agents erroneous program, punkbuster. If you do more reading, you will see that thousands of players have been banned by #83018 in and around March and April and more recently #81668 from May until today. Hundreds have come forward to state that they did nothing wrong...yet EA does nothing. Good luck!

    YEP. What he said!


    All attempts to reason with EA are pointless.
    They telling you there is nothing they can do - as if they didn't own the franchise.

    And Evenbalance - probably run by one guy in the basement of his parents - either ignores the tickets or just is overwhelmed by how much crap his nutbuster software has caused.


    Won't be buying anything from EA "anytime soon."

    Hi, I've been playing this game now for a few years I have over 1,400 hours on console and like 100-150 on PC I just recently (over the past few days) updated my PC (new CPU/Ram/Mobo) lost all my old software and for some reason my old anti-virus (Kaspersky) wouldn't let me use my only key so now I'm trying out Bitdefender. Every time I join into a game within a min I get kicked due to Punk Buster, originally I assumed it was due to my anti-virus so I white listed the exe in the games folder yet it still keeps kicking me. I'm just recently got the PC up and running (was extremely unstable the first view days BSOD'ing multiple times per hour. I just got past that so I was happy to download the game and start playing but PB keeps kicking me and it's not telling me the reason for it I don't know what to do since I'm getting 0 input from the software...

    What must I do to play this game???

    Windows 10 Pro
    Ryzen 5 3600
    16gb's ram
    980ti

    Using Bitdefender white listed PB in the scan/real time and in threat detection
