Good afternoon and thank you in advance for any help or direction you can provide.
Game server admin and IT guy here, ran into an issue running Battlefield 4 that started this last week (6 or so days ago, give or take). Game runs, get in, start playing, and then get the black screen/blinking cursor and then back to desktop with Battlelog saying:
punkbuster RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827]
The kick is not a ban. It is set for a '0' time limit. It happens on evey server I join and it usually happens about 15-20 min after starting a multiplayer game. I can join right back in, play along, and will be kicked again after that same time frame.
Now, as an IT guy, I have to ask "well, what has changed since this last worked". And for the life of me, I am not seeing anything that would be effecting this. I have had an Nvidia driver update, but no security updates to the OS. Nor have I changed any of the installed (or installed anything new) programs on the system between it working and it not.
I took the time to go in and manually update PunkBuster, I also verified that the exe's (PB-A and PB-B) in the wow64 system folder were both running with administrative privlages, but I am still getting the kick from game.
Suggestions are certainly apprecated. I am at a loss for why this started now.
Thank you for your time,
-J
