Kicked by punkbuster for "connection timeout" or "no packet flow"

When I try to connect to a server with punkbuster enable, my game would connect to the server, load the map and just as soon as I start to play, get kicked with the notification that there is "no packet flow". I've been going onto servers without punkbuster enabled, even after trying to update punkbuster, connect to low ping servers, etc..

I was thinking that the problem was my own internet router so I decided to stick with the punkbusterless servers for awhile until the same thing started happening, I'd be kicked, and it was because "server connection timeout", my ping being around 100 less when on the server. This really frustrates me because I havent been able to play without being suddenly kicked and having all my stats not saved during the time I've been playing.

    If you having trouble with your PunkBuster service aka getting kicked by the server, you should consider updating PB. Our player theevilholy created a good Punkbuster FaQ in the battlefield board. If that link helped, let us know and give theevilholy XP for his work. If not, please reply that we can find possible other workarounds!


    I also recommend updating your firewall/antivirus software and closing all not necessary third party applications.
