Re: Battlefield 4 punk buster keeps kicking me

@USMCss07 Yeah the red bar for me pops up and says "Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster permanent ban issued on this Game Server for player 'Samurai-Doom-Guy' ... Prior Kick/Ban". I've never played on that server before so it couldn't be possible for me to have a prior kick/ban. It must have thought I was cheating because I scored too many points in a short amount of time (which I've heard can happen) when I got behind the enemy team and killed a bunch of them + revived and healed teammates. So I probably got banned for cheating even though I'm not a cheater. Thanks punkbuster.

    Are you sure? Sounds like a local server ban to me. If it were a global punkbuster ban it would say you had a global ban in the message. If it were from a third party anti cheat site then it would say so with their name and a # violation. Can you play on other servers?

    Edit: fyi, server admins can ban players locally off their servers using punkbuster.

    Are you able to join other servers? If not; do you get the same message?
