Hey guys.
I've got a problem(orly?) yeah.

I wanted to play Bf3 and if i join a server it kicks me instantly when i load the map. So the message was :

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

I also updated punkbuster and reinstalled it. But nothing helped.
If someone can help me, feel free to add me.
I know that here are some Bf3 players, and maybe one of them can help me.

And the giveaway was a lie you mad bro?

update your PB, make sure its allowed in your firewall, check task manager to make sure Punkbuster A and B are running.

You were kicked by punkbuster, because you've just made a fake giveaway.

BF3 isn't bad, just the platform and its creators are bad... BF3 is good but could have been better (NO ORIGIN/BATTLENET)

Do you have updated your BF3 Punkbuster correctly with this Tool?.

Open the "run" function and write "services.msc". Search for PnkBstrA. Right click, and choose "Enable". If this doesn't work, use the search function and search "PnkBstrA.exe" and delete it. After that reinstall PB.

good luck
