Logged into PRoCon I noticed the following message for players that join:

PunkBuster Server: VIOLATION (AUTO-UPDATE FAILURE) #141: PlayerName (slot #1) This PB Server Requires (A1386 C2.279) - Error loading pbag [PlayerGUIDHere (-) XXX.XXX.XX.XX:XXXX]
PunkBuster Server: Kick Command Issued (This PB Server Requires (A1386 C2.279) - Error loading pbag) for (slot#1) XXX.XXX.XX.XX:XXXX PlayerGUIDHere PlayerName

That kicks the player of the server back to battlelog with the message "You have been kicked by an administrator". This happens to me too. I've tried updating my punkbuster files for the BF3 client, but it had no effect.

Any ideas?

The solution posted in the thread "[Solution] My Server Is Kicking Everyone" works. I can't post the link because of this: "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs."

I've also got this problem as well but the FULL WIPE and re-install does not fix the problem for me. I'm lost as to what else to try..

Actually i'm getting a totally different error.. Let me see..


PunkBuster Server: Kick Command Issued (No Packet Flow) for (slot#1) 24.XX.XX.XX:3659 0 stryfetew
PunkBuster Server: VIOLATION (COMFAIL) #133: stryfetew (slot #1) No Packet Flow

You may need to open a ticket with support for that error.. I haven't seen many people mentioning it.

Yeah I went ahead and submitted one. Another friend of mine was trying to connect as well and he was getting the PB "MOD" update kick.

HBO-049KQ

That's the ticket number for reference if anyone is watching the support site lol..
I'm all out of ideas.. Was able to connect to other servers and playing just fine.

Appears they have addressed this issue there's a modnow to fix the problem. I won't know till I get home today so if you get bored try it out
