Hi insomnatech have you tried all this...
Run the game as Administrator:
Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.
Run Origin as Administrator:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.
Disable Origin in game:
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game
Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General
Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit

Then update punk buster again at the top of Punk Buster.

Another thing that may be worth trying: run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.
If all this fails to fix it then try this...
BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.
1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop or trash.
2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
3-Repair BF4
4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.

UPDATE *I just assigned Scroll Wheel to Shoot and it booted me too...*
UPDATE *Reset all to default and its working fine*
Some program is running in the background which Punkbuster is not allowing. To make sure try doing a clean boot before playing: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
Hi, I know this is a kinda old post, but this is the exact same problem I'm having. I tried running and installing punkbuster again, and when testing it says "Is PunkbusterA and B allowed explicitly?" "NO" to both. How do I make it allowed explicitly? I have allowed them as much as I can in my firewall. It is really damn annoying getting kicked all the time, and I don't want to deal with it anymore. If I can't deal with it, I can't play the game...
Please help.
This happening to me on a brand new computer. Fresh install of Windows and Battlefield, as well as updated Punkbuster.
I suspect that it's my Razor Synapse software that I installed for my mouse/keyboard, but this is ridiculous. There should be an exception for this. It's not a cheat of any kind. How has this issue persisted for this long without any solution?
Easy there killer. You can't sue EA or Punkbuster or anyone else because there is this issue. I've been having the same problem but it happens so rarely that it doesn't affect my love for the game. Try all of the things mentioned in one of the replies for fixing the game. It may be time consuming and annoying but it's worth at least trying.
