I GOT KICKED FROM A SERVER FOR 0 MINUTES!
On my first try, I joined a server on quick play. All of a sudden, it says "Kicked from server (0 minutes).

Punk buster messed up OR your computer is not talking with punk buster....OR your PB is out of date...<---- that not likly. Could simply be a one off error or its not getting threw your firewall or router.

it's actually doing that with every single server I join. I could try restarted the game since I just joined.

Not an expert, but I think it has something to do with Punkbuster. Make sure your firewall allows it. Also, I heard somewhere there's a punkbuster check utility somewhere in the game folder?

happens to me as well... even lag bad on this game (only game I do out of much heavier games on full settings) Especially every time someone dies it freezes a few seconds.

Punkbuster is a program that helps stop cheating. It also causes problems. To resolve this you need to find the file pbsvc, specifically pbsvc_pg.exe and run it. I found mine in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\America's Army\AAPG\Binaries but I found it there by searching for pbsvc in C:\Program Files (x86). (It may be elsewhere on your computer but Windows 7 and 8 x64 should have it there.) Once you run it it will perform a test. Once completed, exit the file and try playing again and it should work.

If you find this helpful, repost this when people need help or see if the fix can be made a sticky.

The game is pretty cool. You need a sharp eye to see the enemy. Like all 1st person military shooters, you need to level up and get to know the maps before you rage quit. Have fun!
