If your getting kicked from BF3 servers read this!!!

Please go to PunkBuster Online Countermeasures and download the pbsetup and run it for your game. The kicks are happening because a new version of punkbuster came out and its not auto updating.

For players that are having problems with not being able to connect, you probably want to take a look at this post.

Please update punkbuster manually via this link PunkBuster Online Countermeasures and these steps explained below.

To Manually update your local PunkBuster Security Files, choose "Save As" from your Web Browser's "File" Menu and explore to find your game folder and the subfolder called "pb".

Save this file in that location ([game path]/pb/pbsec.htm or [game path]/pb/pbsecsv.htm). The next time you start your game, your PunkBuster will have the latest security information necessary to accept auto-updates from PB Servers.

Does this include just random disconnects? Or just not being able to connect?

 

[Soulzz]

Random disconnects after 1-2 minutes.

no, where it says you have been kick by an administrator after 2-5 minutes of playing. Random disconnects are other issues.

Updated PB...Still same disconnects, now within first minute of playing. But once I find playable server, it stays loged in.

This will fix it for the servers you couldnt connect to before.
As I understand it the autoupdate function for PB was messed up. So we had to manually update the servers and our clients. The servers that have been updated cant have a client connect with an old version. Same with if you have the latest client version you cant connect to a server that hasnt been updated. Best bet is to update because thats what most servers are doing. We have our All maps conquest and IO conquest updated. Our Rush all maps is still the old version because it was full when i found all this out.
