Hey guys. I've been playing for over a year and have just recently started getting kicked by punkbuster. I have no hacks and have never cheated. I'm just trying to find out what's going on and if anyone can help. Thanks.

Getting kicked by Punkbuster

I once got punked by Kickbuster.

https://evenbalance.com/ Download the executable for your OS, run it, and update the files for BF4.
I did all this. I've uninstalled PB and reinstalled with the new exe, updated the files, and it still kicks me. Any other ideas? Does it have issues if it's installed on a drive other than C? This only started happening in the last month. I updated it in September and it stopped, and just started again this evening.
Try looking in task manager to see if the punkbuster services are running when you start the game.
Another player recently had success by clearing his browser cache. See https://banzore.com/forums/threads/perpetually-being-kicked.14148/#post-103085.
I'll try the browser cache issue, but I'm not even sure how that would effect the punkbuster function. It's interesting to me that this only started in the last month. I discovered that setting my inbound traffic in my Windows Defender helped the other night, and I didn't get kicked again while playing, but I just got kicked again. It's getting to the point that it's not fun anymore, and this sucks cause it's the only game I really play when I have time. I'll let you know how the browser fix works. Thanks for the suggestions.
