Please help me. Error: PunkBuster kicked player (for 0 minutes) ...

[Markisse]

Good day everyone, just after downloading the game on just installed Windows 10 I ran into a problem. When I join the server, within 20 seconds after the start of the match, I get kicked and the same error is displayed:

"Kicked: Punkbuster kicked player 'TheKot1ik' (for 0 minutes) ... PB INIT FAILURE (If this presists, visit"

Idk how to fix it, and I really need help.

This is an easy fix.
Go to your Steam library, right-click on AAPG, go to properties, and there should be a button that says verify the integrity of game files. I don't remember exactly step by step where it is because I'm ill and can barely open my eyes. But yea, it is definitely in properties. If that doesn't work redownload Punk Buster. To find where Punk Buster is, go to where ever AAPG is downloaded.
The easiest way to find where AA is downloaded is to right-click on AA in Steam, go to properties, and there should be a button that says "local game files" click on it.
If you can't find where that button is, do it like this.
File Explorer>This PC>(click on whatever drive your game is downloaded in)>Program Files>Steam>common>steamapps>America's Army: Proving Grounds.
And there should be a program called punkbuster.exe or something like that, run it.
It should start as a download of Punk Buster. It should look the same when you first installed the game and PunkBuster was being installed.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask :)

Hi, I did everything as you said, but now I have a different error. The server needs a different version of PunkBuster. Oh, how many problems with one anti-cheat.

"Kicked: PunkBuster kicked player 'TheKot1ik' (for 0 minutes) ... This PB Server Requires (A1376 C2.341) - Error
