Re: Battlefield 4 - Kicked by Punkbuster

@Sc00p_ZA If you launch BF4 from Battlelog you should get the full message of why you were banned. If it is a Punkbuster ban only Evenbalance can lift the ban. No one here can lift this ban. So go to Evenbalance and make a ticket.

    @Sc00p_ZA Se if you have these two services PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB in services.msc.

    In the run box type services.msc, scroll down and see if both are set to automatic and are running. If not set them to automatic and run then relaunch the game.

    Do you have any type of Overlay for example that shows FPS or other data.Just a long shot.

    Also someone with same error said this on another post " I find the problem for me that was Avira SpeedUp, i uninstall this and evrything's work normaly now"

  • so i tried uninstalling everything that has an overlay 

    but still no luck

    @Sc00p_ZA Anything that hooks into the game like an overlay will cause Disallowed Program/Driver.

    Kill all your overlays, like Steam overlay, Nvidia overlay, SweatFX etc.

    All i can suggest doing is having a look what services are running in windows and look for any non-microsoft services that may be disabled apart from Punkbuster.

  • its easier just not to buy ea products they just dont work

    They work for most of us, and when people do have an issue their is always a cause which can be found

  • I'm having the same issue. I don't want to go through disabling all my applications and changing settings just to play the game, it's obvious I'm not cheating. Very frustrating for a game I've paid for twice. Also maddening that I lost all my progress moving to steam from xbox.
