"Kicked by Punkbuster" after countless times of trying to install, reinstall, and update Punkbuster.

Please help me resolve this issue ASAP; I can't go 10-15 minutes without getting kicked by Punkbuster (the anti-cheating program)

I tried everything and found a solution on reddit posted 11 years ago.

1-Go to Program Files>EA Games>Battlefield 4>_installer>punkbuster>redist

2-Now open PBSVC, uninstall it and reinstall it.

3-After that, push windows key+R and type services.msc

4-Find PnkBstrA on that list, right click and restart it.

For the first stage you probably need to go to Program Files (x86)>Steam>steamaaps>common

I play it from EA launcher so I do not own a Steam copy.

You need to download the latest version of Punkbuster from evenbalance.com
