Re: RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe

I had an issue were no matter what this would not help but I have found a Solution for mine that I would like to share.

My Error - "PunkBuster kicked player NAME (for 0 minutes) ... No Packet Flow"

My FIX - BF4 was installed in a different spot the the original......Install or move the game to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4", for some reason Punkbuster will not work for me if the game is not in this position. I also Uninstalled punkbuster completely using pbsvc.exe, Reinstalled and then updated with pbsetup.exe. Hope I can Help some frustrated users as I have no problems at all now.

PS: Punkbuster, please fix this problem so other users don't have this issue at all as it seems its a file location problem and no one that I can find has figured this out, Its just painful
