keep getting kicked from game in 10-20 seconds. error is "Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'socom101' (for 0 minutes) ... No Packet Flow"
other solutions have not worked. game worked fine last week. all i did was reinstall windows. win 10 -> win 10

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

@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

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.]

@Anonymous,
Thanks for the heads up about the solution.
I will keep this in mind, if it ever comes up again.
Have a great evening
