Punkbuster kicking me for "No Packet Flow"

This is on the verge of driving me insane.

Whenever I join a game I get kicked after ~60 seconds. I get the following error message:

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'VIGGOWL' (for 0 minutes) ... No Packet Flow

Now, this is the list of the things I've tried to fix the problem.

  • Reinstall BF3
  • Reinstall PB
  • Update PB
  • Reset computer to earlier restore point
  • Restart router & access point
  • Set priority for PnkBstrA and B to high
  • Disable my firewall
  • Disable my AV
  • Only play by wire
  • Only play by wireless
  • Allow the PnkBstrA & PnkBstrB services in the firewall
  • Set their inbound traffic to private, public and domain

Now, I think this is getting a bit old. I'm not a complete moron, and I'm studying computer engineering so this is kind of my field... 

What do I do???

Thanks in advance.

    Hello @Masteraceman123 

    I am really sorry about these issues with the game.  Can you check this article here on the Punkbuster troubleshooting for the possible solution? Keep us posted.

    Cheers,
