Battlefield3 problem

by shmoe • 4 Mar 2012, 18:42 • Journals
Installed Battefield 3 today. when trying to join a server i always get kicked after around 5-10 seconds, sometimes i dont even manage to join the battlefield.

i get this message:

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'randomnick' (for 0 minutes) ... No Packet Flow

i checked pbsvc.exe and pb is up to date. firewall says bf3 is allowed and i turned off my antvir.

gamemanager + browserplugin are up to date, as well as the client itself of course.

any advice?

you should check if there is a pb file in your bf3 game folder

no, I don't think so. I only have the pbsvc.exe file in it.

Well, putting the pbsvc.exe in the folder helped a bf3 to play on pb servers again :/
