    Hey... @martiros24

    PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe

    Do every step in this page to fix this problem :
    http://help.ea.com/en/article/battlefield-4-punkbuster-troubleshooting/

    -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 specifications" 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 link :
    -http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe
    -10. download and install both
    -11. Run Pbsetup.exe (the first link)
    -12. add a game (eg. bf4)
    -13. check for updates.

    [Am not working for EA, If is answer good pls give me XP or accept as solution.]
