RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe
mrnighttemple Re: RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe . ... ā10-08-2013 12:50 PM Hi ! Try to install it ! It worked for me ! http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe
Hey guys, so I've been one of those guys for the past couple days who would do EVERYTHING out there that people were talking about and nothing not matter what would work. I tried installing PB again, tried deleting the file from bf4 folder and redoing everything still nothing, always got that communication error. I seem to have FINALLY found the fix, wich won't be too fun but it works 100% and seems to have been the only solution for me. Uninstall bf4, completely. Go to control panel, uninstall program and get rid of the plugin also for the battle log. Get rid of everything. After that Download the game again through origin and reinstall it. Afterwards, got to http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php and install PBsetup open, install, add bf4 and hti update for it, open bf4 as administrator and there you go a running bf4 beta š Hope I was able to help!
Not Working
This worked for me. Thx!!!
I was beggining to get frustrated.
