@jaguarmoves So I found a possible solution for you. Please check this thread in Steam forums http://steamcommunity.com/app/24960/discussions/0/558749824792109254/

Try this: <<Hey friend :D I had the same problem but I solve it, go where Battlefield is installed, search the folder Install, then Punkbuster, install it again. Than go to start, run and type service.msc, find if Pnkbuster is running, if not, right-click on it and start. Now you can play without problem.>>
