RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827]
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Weedje80' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827]
I had this problem for a while now and it is totally random.
Fresh windows 7 Home Premium, updated with all needed windows updates.
Installed programs:
Origin (To Play games from EA)
BitDefender Free (We need antivirus don't we, I even added the battlefield 4 and battlefield 4 pb folder as exception.)
Asus AI Suite (Control fan speed of the CPU - Was not running at the time of the incident)
MSI Afterburner (Control fan speed of my GPU - Was not running at the time of the incident)
Teamspeak 3 (Was not running at the time of the incident)
And a couple of other programs like VLC Media player which should not have an impact on the game...
Punkbuster should be up to date as I do a daily check in the hopes to prevent these problems.
From the punkbuster logs at the time of the incident:
[03.30.2014 16:28:49] Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe heartbeats stopped
[03.30.2014 16:29:58] RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827]
So, is punkbuster broken? what else can we do to prevent this problem? should I yet again update my AMD catalyst software? new drivers dont always mean better performance for older videocards, I also don't get why we're forced to update to system performance crippling drivers.
I'm currently using Catalyst 14.1, I simply run DirectX 11 since mantle is not supported on my GPU.
