Cant join any servers for the last few days.
Keep getting this:
Error
Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe
Do I have to let punk buster throiugh the windows firewall?
Just noticed I dont have PB installed at all... or at least its not running nor in my services list.
Doing a manual update now.
---
Still getting kicked with the same error even after manual, install of pb.
Thing is even with a manual install I can see any pb services running or in my services list.
I can however see pba and pbb allowed through my windows firewall...
Just ran the inbult test, these are my results:
