Screenshot of my task manager, running nothing at all that should be interfering with it. This has been happening since around the time of the last patch.

Is anyone else experiencing similar?

There was a punkbuster update at some point last week. I ended up having to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of pb to be able to effectively join and stay connected to matches. I was never shown a pb specific error like that though.

Just quit playing the game and never buy EA again. Punkbuster has been doing this shit for 10 years and wont stop.

You need to ensure your punkbuster is also updated.

Does being a punk or buster have anything to do with this?
