Re: BF3 Punkbuster Kick

I've been having the same problem for days too

have you checked your firewall settings?

Yes I have bro, I legit tried everything. Even going as far as to checking my config files. Nothing.

thats not a ban @ringo312 

1. Open windows firewall and make sure that your router is not blocking either of the Punkbuster files.
2. click advanced settings( on the left) and then inbound (also left)
3. Find PnkbstrA.exe and PnkbstrB.exe (if you have two of both, its fine)
4. right click on each of them>properties>programs and services
5. make sure that "all programs that meet the specifications" is checked
6. then go to the "Advanced" tab and check all 3 boxes. Domain, Private and Public.
7. REMEMBER TO DO THIS FOR ALL PnkBstr Files. then save and quit.
8. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3 and delete "Pb" folder.
9. go to these 2 links:
http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloader/download.php?file=1
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe
10. download and install both
11. Run Pbsetup.exe (the first link)
12. manually add a game (eg. bf3) - this is an important step as sometimes it will not solve the problem until the game is manually added
13. check for updates

(thanks to @ragnarok013 for the text rather than me writing it all again)

I've always found no packet flow has been firewall related on my own systems

The first link doesn't work anymore
