disallowed Program/Driver [120181]

Usually overlays. Anything that draws something in front of the game (like fraps/xfire) but hasn't been white listed by EB. If you have an obscure video recorder or Team Speak overlay it can do that.

Things like ATI Tray Tools etc. can also produce the Disallowed Program/Driver kick.

It's affecting me too!

 

I heard it was something to do with overlays. Right now i have anything off that appears to have it such as Steam, Teamspeak, xfire etc... But I didn't think about ATI's tray tools. I will look into seeing how to disable this and if it works for me.

 

edit:

 

Turned off ATI's tool try but that didn't work either. I actually have everything now off and still get a boot.

Same problem. No changes to my pc. Played fine for hours today before it happened.

 

@ Evenbalance:

You know...you get contracted to enhance the gameplay experience for the user, not render them incapable of enjoying the product. Every game that you guys touch is plagued with issues related to your program...one headache after another. Some are a quick fix but others, like this particular one, are not. Couple this with your excessive wait times on responses to help tickets and sometimes a lack of a response period and I would have to say that you are quite lucky there isn't really any other viable company/software out there to compete with your own.

If you are confident that nothing at your end of things is causing this restriction kick.

I would suggest raising your concerns with Even Balance (the creators of PunkBuster™ software) via troubleticket as opposed to posting on a third party anti cheat site that is not affiliated to Even Balance in any way.

 

click me to raise a troubleticket

 

There's a lot of cheaters complaining about this particular kick as well in their private forum sections, so maybe EB have been a bit "enthusiastic" with whatever they are using to detect certain cheats .... only by informing EB via troubleticket will you get this issue sorted.

**update**

Before you go off on a rant, the very least you should do is make sure your pbguid does not appear on a ban list.

**update**

I just ran a check on the e-mail address you used to register with PBBans and find that your a member of a known cheat site :shock:

A VIP member no less with access to their private forum sections.

 

Is it just me or is a pattern emerging here :scratchchin:

Your professionalism is overwhelming.

 

I am a father of two sons, one in college the other in highschool both at home and the three of us play together frequently. That email address is a generic one used by our entire family. What my sons choose to do is their own business but I personally do not have time for the nonsense. They have their own computers as I have mine. So I can assure you that I am a legitimate player with none of this "cheating" software on my gaming laptop. This issue still persists and it is affecting many legitimate players.

Your inability to distinguish what was posted to another guy in this thread and what was posted in direct response to you is equally overwhelming, and just like you, I personally do not have time for nonsense.

This duplicate forum account is now flagged as spam, as will any other duplicate forum account you care to create.

If you have anything to add or say to us you can do so in the restricted users forum section that your original forum account has access to.

No one mentioned anything to do with your e-mail address, generic or otherwise.

Someone who plays BF3 from your home address, raised this ban;

http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-e2aac553-vb238251.html

Which puts your original comments about PB software and its related admin tools in a rather different light as to what you would like us to perceive.

Hehe, good work guys. :rolleyes: Maybe EA is on to something that may put a stop to alot of the bs. We have caught alot of cheats through the screenshots and as of late not near as many. So maybe they can't get in anymore with what they are using.... :D

Hey,

I am having this same problem. Started yesterday after several weeks of no issues. I have a ticket into EB, they asked me to produce a list of running processes which i did but have not got a response yet (been waiting 5 hours). Did they get you to change something ? or did they change something on their end ? i am just seeing if there is any other trouble shooting i can do while i wait for them to respond.

 

Thanks in advance.

What the heck...

"Public access can not view clean players."

So I'm band but I'm clean?

 

Well i have a ticket in with EB and i KNOW i haven't used any cheats so hopefully they will get this resolved soon.

Thank you for finding that for me SuperTaz

 

~Edit~ out of interest how do you locate your GUID ? i looked for it earlier and couldn't find it.

Again i appreciate the info.

 

That its definitely my account, however it still doesn't provide any reason for the global ban. It's interesting that it shows the same server for the first AND last time it saw me.

I updated my Even balance ticket with the new info... haven't heard back from them since 10AM this morning (CST) and its now 7:54 CST so I'm guessing they wont get around to it till tomorrow.

 

If you could remove the image now though that would be great. Although one octect is removed that still only leaves 255 possible ip's and as mine is semi static i don't like the idea of it being available online...

there are many games that use PB, so, yes they do get inundated.

 

after launch of a new game, they probably get tens of thousands wondering why they can't join a PB enabled server, after declining to install PunkBuster...

Same problem started since last night (GMT +02)

Not let any one server, I tried to go to another computer.

Rearranged game completely updated and added by hand in PB BF3 ...

 

"Game got disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'creonic_net' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program / Driver [120 181]"

 

"Game got disconnected: you were kicked from the game."

 

 

Re install game , update, check PB

Still gives an error when trying to connect
