BF4 Punkbuster Kicking Me From Every Game

[GodEmperorFuze]

Trying to play bf4 and every time I get into a server I get kicked by punkbuster.  It is an old game and I have searched this problem online already and none of solutions worked.  So far allowing punkbuster through the firewall (which is obvious) has not worked.  Tried going to advanced firewall settings, inbound rules, PnkBstrA/B, programs and services, all programs that meet the specified conditions which seems to work for everybody on all the threads I checked but I am still getting kicked.  Made sure both punkbuster files are located in System32 not SysWOW64.  These fixes seemed to work for everybody else and I cant find any other possible fixes and I am still getting kicked.  Get to play for about 30 seconds then I am kicked.

Hey @trialmoss75 you need to ensure that your system security is not blocking Punkbuster.

You just need to add an exception for it and your games to your anti-virus and firewall.

@EA_Darko I'm also having the same problem. I've tried allowing it in my firewall and disabling my anti-virus but everytime I join a game it still says kicked by punkbuster

Hey @Superaaron16 I would recommend starting with this help article and repair your install: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/battlefield/battlefield-4/battlefield-4-punkbuster-troubleshooting/

@EA_Darko Thanks for the reply, just tried this and I'm still getting the kicked by punkbuster. Anything else I can try?

I'm experiencing the same issue. PnkBstrA and B are allowed through firewall, pub and priv. I've taken all the steps listed above in this thread, however i still get kicked. Its beginning to feel like the primary objective is waiting in queue so you can get kicked by punkbuster within 5 sec of deployment. I've seriously not even fired a shot in this game, thanks to punkbuster.

Hey just following up have you found any other solutions yet?

@EA_Darko Is this just a scam to buy the new game be honest
