For some reason even if he/she is not in the same server as me I keep on getting kicked by him/her.. Why is this happening?

In my previous message I asked for the detail PunkBuster message that can be received only via Battlelog since UI cannot display full message.  That post is not solution I know.

If you have the same issue, please try to join the server via Battlelog to see detail error message from PunkBuster and copy\poste the error message here.

Thanks!

Easy fix if it's 0 minutes kick

Just go to Origin and repair the game and BOOM problem solved it's just Punknuster causing problems in your file data base nothing rare it happens quite often
