Method 3

This is for people who are getting "You were kicked by an administrator"

Ok this is how i fixed it.

1. Seeing as the server/thread is down im going to link the files needed directly. bf3_beta_pb.zip [mediafire.com]

2. Extract That folder to your Battlefield 3 beta install folder.
Ok some people seem to be having trouble with this step. So i'll clarify further.
The folder that you download from mediafire "pb" needs to be put into your C:/Program Files/Origin games/Battlefield 3 Beta
The entire folder NOT just the files.....

3. Right click punkbuster installer run as administrator "pbsvc.exe" It's locate in:

C:/Program Files/Origin games/Battlefield 3 Beta/_Installer/punkbuster/redist For 32 bit OS
C:/Program Files (x86)/Origin games/Battlefield 3 Beta/_Installer/punkbuster/redist For 64 bit OS

I tried the punkbuster thingy but I'm still getting kicked off the hardcore server before I can even log into it.

Wiqd,
Is it giving an error message of any kind?
The link at the top of this thread has several suggestions for "PunkBuster or Connection Issues".
