I was in first with a score about 70 kills, 20 deaths. Guess they thought I was hacking with this combo. Throw smoke lay down using the M249 with tripod, Flir 2x and heavy barrel. This is an unstoppable combo in Locker and Metro. ---

That’s not skill/ player input related. Punkbuster is detecting what it considers to be a malicious program and issuing a temporary ban. I suggest you report this to the Devs via their forums if it’s only happening on that one map. ---

I am/was assuming I was banned by an admin and not a punkbuster auto kick. Don’t know what program/driver could have done that. I will update Punkbuster. ---

That’s probably a good course of action. If the problem persists, you might want to consider a System restore to before the problem began. Also, make double check your firewall settings to see if there’s anything there that might be conflicting with PB, and finally, make sure you’re up to date with your browser and battle log plugins. If the problem persists, I suggest you post about it on the battle log forums as the likelihood of it being a glitch is high. ---

I would like to also support your assumption, to a degree. Never rule out admin intervention. At the same time, I get little kicks like this because of corrupt GPU drivers/ windows updates, etc. The ID in that screenie is a good place to start. I’d assist further but I’m heading back into work. ---

I get that from time to time. I’m always able to rejoin right away. Best I can tell is that it might be PB reading whatever program that my keyboard uses for the programmable macro keys.
