Recent Punkbuster issues, problems joining server

[RhodeTrip Ben]

Hi, I hope you're well.

I wanted to check whether anyone is aware of any punkbuster issues affecting your servers please? Over the last few days a lot of people have been banned or kicked (I keep getting kicked)

I appreciate I need to address this with Evenbalance (which I have), however as lots of people are being affected (https://www.pbbans.com/mbi-latest50-bf3-lfb41.html) I wondered if you perhaps had any information.

Thank you, and thanks for the great servers over the last few years..

Hi,

Punkbusters trustability is very low as their newest bans ban random people. Even balance itself doesn't do much about it, as ban appeals are solved by bots (you never get unbanned). people in higher places are trying to talk about this with EA, but this problem doesnt effect our servers. it effects the whole battlefield community.

more info can be found here:

Many thanks for the information Goodfood.
I've been scanning the Battlelog forums and found plenty of post on the issue - but your update has provided more context, appreciated.

I don't believe I'm banned yet, just being kicked, so I'll persevere.

One other thing -have you considered turning pb off? This can be done and remain a ranked server, pls see link below

Appreciate this will potentially mean more hackers, but they could perhaps easily be banned directly on the server by yourselves. It looks like this problem is just going to continue, and neither DICE nor EA care about a game from 2011....

I love it so much I might get my own server

Thanks again
