Punkbuster

So every time I try to join a BF4 multiplayer server, I keep getting a message that says I need to install punkbuster.I have confirmed that I have it installed, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it already, but the same message keeps coming up.

  • Hello,

    Try fresh install of punkbuster by deleting it from my Origin Games folder. When setting up PB for the first time, click on " Add Game " and choose Battlefield 4 from their list.  If you click on and scroll through the text for the file location you'll notice it ends ..." battlefield 4 \ beta " Simply delete the " beta " part click on the install / check for updates.

    Ok, I've fixed the issue, at least on my end.

    >run pbsetup.exe (v3.6)

    >Add game

    >select from the dropdown list [Battlefield 4]

    >correct the game directory from ...\Battlefield 4 Beta\

      -- to --

    ...\Battlefield 4\

    >click [Check for Updates] button on top of pbsetup window

    >wait

    >complete

    >frag noobs

    >???

    ALREADY DO ANYTHING (I dont re-install the game)

  • Hello,

    If you receive an error telling you that your Punkbuster is either out of date or not installed when trying to start your game:

    Head to the Battlefield 4 installation folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 by default, then find the _Installer folder.
    In _Installer, find and navigate into the Punkbuster folder, and from there, into the redist folder.

    Find and run pbsvc.exe to update or repair your Punkbuster installation.

    If the above folders don’t exist in your installation:

    Head to punkbuster.com and click the Download PBSetup button, and select the option “For All Windows Games."
    Open pbsetup.zip, then run pbsetup.exe. Accept the EULA, follow the instructions, update PunkBuster, and then click Add a Game.
    In the drop down menu, select Battlefield 4, then Add Game, and finally, before trying to run Battlefield 4 again, Check for Updates.
