normally when you get kicked it gives you a message in the bar at the bottom of the screen, it would be helpful if you could get the message so we can try and help you 🙂 ---

Run PBsvc from your BF4 directory. Also reinstall directx through your BF4 directory might help. ---

I usually get this when PunkbustrA.exe is disabled from taskmanager to reserve unused active memory so you might check into those services if its on auto or just enabled 🙂 ---

I ended up installing punkbuster and updating it then did a update and repair on the game and it fixed it ---

Go to Punk Buster site [http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php](http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php) Download PB then extract files to your desktop. Open Punk Buster folder. Click on the PB setup and it will open. Add your BF4 game to punk buster its at the top of Punk Buster. Then update punk buster again at the top of Punk Buster. ---

I have the exact same issue and no error code or reason. Why am I not surprised. None of the fixes mentioned have worked: 1. Tried downloading PBSVC, updated manually, still kicked. 2. Tried restarting PunkbustrA, no change, still kicked. Never had any problems before and nothing’s changed. Any idea’s? ---

The new update bricked the game for me even after re installing it 2 times. Gave up on it and won’t return. This game should not need all these fixes for a 3 1/2 year old game. ---

@0_Raging-Husky_0 There is no punkbuster on BF1 so it can’t be an issue. When you install PB you can read the checkup, it controls if there is communication in/out too on both service A & B, read if those both get ticked off green. If not, you have to manually open the firewall for that specific service. ---

You have a global punkbuster GUID ban which indicates your account has triggered a violation for cheating, nothing will work unless you appeal to evenbalance and are successful..

What a solution. ☹ HA! Nice stats on your Deagle there. 55 kills 53 Headshots Either you are Stat padding or cheating. And stat padding is a form of cheating. Either way, you deserve the ban. EDIT: After a closer look at your stats, you are CLEARLY cheating and using a cheat engine to gain an advantage over legit players. Good riddance, cheater! ---
