Punk Buster Problem

AliceterMon Apr 09, 2012 10:46 pm

The following is an error message i keep getting from battlefield 3

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'L_C_Aliceter-BK-' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe


I have no cheats or overlays. I also tried to manually download and up date it from there web sight. Any ideas are welcome and thanks in advance

I haven't had this issue, so I ran a quick Google search and found a couple possible workarounds on the BattleLog forums.  You may want to surf around and see what other workarounds you can find online.

"PunkBuster kicked player 'Benard_Crumbs' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe

It was working fine literally an hour ago, restart computer, and BAM it happens.

I've had the game for like 4 Hours.

Ok, tried this http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe [evenbalance.com] and ran that, moved it into my battlefield 3 folder and ran it alongside the normal PBSetup with battlefield 3, and it seems to be going fine."

"I had the same problem and installing PunkBuster from http://www.evenbalance.com/ [evenbalance.com] didn't help.

What fixed it was running the original PunkBuster installer that comes with the game from
C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\__Installer\punkbuster\redist"

When you start the updater this is an option to test services. Have you done that. Check your running process look for both PnkBstrA and B.

Woot, I've heard bullets made of Gold do more damage.
