I am running Windows 10 as my Operating system (stupidly) and after the Windows update on 30th March, I can no longer join games because I keep getting kicked.Is anyone else having this problem and is there a fix for it?I have tried updating punkbuster and reinstalling it - no change.Thanks in advance

ok heres wat worked for me:just reinstall punkbuster from the folder where you have installed the game in.for me it was: this pc > windows(C) > program files(x86) > origin games > BFHthan run the : pbsvc and it should update ...

Uninstall the March 30th update and retry. If you are dual booting then just boot to Windows 7 or whatever is your secondary OS. If Windows 10 is the only OS you currently have installed and you cannot play then reverting to your previous OS may be the only way to go.

Sorry , cant believe that the Support give us the tip reverting to an older OS Version.Where the hell u are living ? If it works under 7 , 8 , 8.1 it works in the most cases in WIN10.The Games are the Problems.Best example :Rollback the Devicedrivers *Bull**Run Origin as Administrator *Bull** Its up to EA to make the software running under a non Administrative Account , if not, learn your jobsRun the Game as Administrator *Bull** Same like the Origin Client. Learn ur Jobs , or sell flowers or whateverDeaktivate Firewalls *Same Bull**Reorganize Firewallrules and make more Ports open... *Bull** Learn how to use UPNP in ur Software. Settings for automatic UPNP Rules makes it faster, and u you dont have to open ur system for any * that comes outside from ur Network..And i can point out more here. But please don't tell us, we have to make our system less secure for playing Games that your company is selling.Cant believe it.

same here, updated punkbuster manually,and still getting kicked
