Hi there, I have been kicked by Punkbuster whenever I am joining a server. Help?

@USMCss07 @OttoVP Thanks guys. Makes sense, but I hope the hell my account hasn't been compromised and sold? WTF? I would like to know what's going on though as would the thousand of others I'm sure? I know they can easily trace this stuff? Grrrr....I will not be buying any EA products anytime soon and I've spoken with my friends at length about this. Now will they. Thoughts were that they are trying to shutdown BF4 seeing how there are issues with servers showing up on lists of servers to play as well? Makes you kind of wonder? I don't know what to think, but I do very much appreciate your feedback and insight! Thank You both. I reached out to the guys who's servers I plan on mostly. TBGClan (good dudes) and they said the same thing, basically it's the kiss of death with no response or resolution. Guess I'm going to sit tight for now, wait and listen.
Replying to this to say that I'm having the exact same problem. Been playing BF4 for over six years now, never cheated or hacked, and somewhere about two months ago I started getting kicked from every server by Punkbuster for "Gamehack #81671". Punkbuster has been checked, updated and working fine. Just this week I wiped Windows 7 and upgraded to Windows 10 in hopes this would fix it. No luck. Getting kicked for the same reason. Everything I've researched basically tells me I'm * outta luck. This sucks. I built my PC specifically for BF4 (and Bioshock Infinite).
Fortunately I can still play BF3, but it mostly makes me miss BF4. I've even gone so far as to start playing Call of Duty (but playing it on my six year old PC isn't very smooth).
Le sigh...
@USMCss07 @OttoVP @Builtthiscityon_ Hot Metal Action, nice name. All I have to say is you won't find ANY help from EA here. I've gotten more info from other players than EA. They have been silent on the issue and It's pathetic honestly. I had a thought though, not that it will help in any way now? Seeing how there's no logs of what causes that gamehack error???. I know that Origin is tied into your default browser somehow I believe? Going way back I had an issue with IE and had to change it to chrome. Anyway, I noticed recently in chrome that there is video hardware support in the browser and it was enabled by default? BTW my system had been blue screening prior to me disabling it!! Could that be it? If that is the case, do plug in's affect that at all as well? Could that have caused our false flagging? Any software engineers in the house that aren't cheating? F!#$@##$%
- @Actionj123 It is still not entirely clear as to what the cause of these two bans were. Punkbuster has all but gone silent this past year. Many players (that have been banned) have been stating that they do not get any response at all from Punkbuster. In the past: at least the person (whom seems more likely to be a bot than a person) running the evenbalance appeals tickets communications would respond. From what I am hearing though; there is no response at all these days.
I have always argued that the false positive was due to Origin and a conflict with Battlelog. In fact, there was a time when EA admitted that Battlelog was broken and issued a workaround. It just so happened that the wave of bans for both of these two ban codes occurred soon after (within a month) of whatever problem EA was having with Battlelog. I imagine they had a security breach or something of that sort...but they will most likely never admit that...to much potential liability. Have you or anyone else had any luck with Evenbalance? I have not seen any news stating anything at all...
