Everytime i start playing battlefield 4, i load up a server as normal, but within 2 min i get kicked and get a black screen, where in the top corner i see a flashing light.
so when i go back to battlefield 4 browser page it says
''Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'myname' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe initialization failed'':-)
Community ManagerMake sure the PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe are whitelisted in your antivirus and firewall.
Then try the troubleshooting steps here: https://help.ea.com/article/troubleshooting-info-for-battlefield-4#pb
Hello,
1. Open windows firewall
2. click advanced settings( on the left) and then inbound (also left)
3. Find PnkbstrA.exe and PnkbstrB.exe (if you have two of both, its fine)
4. right click on each of them>properties>programs and services
5. make sure that "all programs that meet the spesifications" is checked
6. then go to the "Advanced" tab and check all 3 boxes. Domain, Private and Public.
7. REMEMBER TO DO THIS FOR ALL PnkBstr Files. then save and quit.
8. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 and delete "Pb" folder.
9. go to these 2 links:

10. download and install both
