TL;DR for others. 

 

dont bother fixing it. 

Go to your  Origin_Games ----> Battlefield 3 (the install location), and look for everything with the string "PBSV" , burn it with fire. 

uninstall game and punkbuster, then reinstall.

Hey @Anonymous,

 

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

 

Are you having this problem with Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1?

 

Thanks Standard smile

@Anonymous,

 

As far as Battlefield 1 goes, they don't use Punkbuster anymore.

 

With Battlefield 3, you could try these same steps that people used for Battlefield 4:

Go to your Program Files ---> Origin Games ----> Battlefield 3, and look for the PBSV File and reinstall.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Standard smile

i haven't played BF1 in a while, no longer have origin access.
for BF3, i tried what you said with file "pbsvB"(thats the only pbsv file in directory) . got a error about write access, when i did repair/reinstall.(same as last 3 times ive tried over the last week). i downloaded the same file from online tried that, got an error, copy and pasted it in, still got error.

so i deleted every pbsv, uninstalled bf3 via orgin,unistalled punkbuster, reinstalled game. its works now.

i think this was caused this was me using same install location on my data drive as a working copy of bf3 was there before windows reinstall (i didnt wipe date drive). i installed BF3 to C:, and its works now.

in the error for pbsv it said drive " 'F: " , what does the ' mean?

 

[i know win 10 was seeing my HDD as a foreign disk, but its works perfectly, i can even play the games that i had installed from before.]
