Losing packets 9003

[verdigree]

Well, this is starting to REALLY annoy me. I can join a game, and play for not even 30 seconds then it freezes for a few seconds, then I appear under the map, then I go back to Battlelog and the Game Manager says Punkbuster kicked me for losing key packets 9003. I have looked it up many, many times to find fixes, and I have reinstalled Battlefield 3, Origin and Punkbuster almost as many times. I have even used TuneUp Utilities to try and fix it, but yet still no change.

Please help, I have tried to play Battlefield since 2010, and it still isn't working, and I just want to play.

I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

If you have any issues with Battlefield 3 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
