Tried uninstalling/re-installing PB. Ensured PB and BF4 are up to date and cleared by firewall. Still getting the same error after 30 seconds or so of play,
"ERROR Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Manlivs' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe"
Me too. I cannot play for 2 weeks after update!!!
I update it again today. Reinstall Puck Buster! Got the some error. WHY??? Who is responsible for this ???? Why I paid a game that I cannot play!!

Ok. Fix it. Run the punkbuster step a few times. It will install the A and B.exe in.

Hello,
Make sure your anti-virus is not blocking punkbuster, also check windows firewall.
Punkbuster has 2 services running in the background in order to check your PC for hacks or 3rd party programs influencing the game.
They are called:
PnkbstraA
In order to enable both do:
1. Press Windows button and R at the same time
2. enter "Services.msc"
3. Locate PnkBstraA on the list
4. Mark both and select "Start the service" on the left side.
5. If already running restart it.
This should resolve your issue.

Czym jest ten przycisk okna? Mam właśnie ten problem, i wyłączenie anty wirusa nie podziałało, więc postanowiłem zrobić to drugie, lecz nie wiem dokładnie o co z tym chodzi, czyli gdzie to wpisać itd. Proszę o pomoc.
