Usually this means that pb can't update itself. There's program to manually update pb. It usually does the trick. You can get PBsetup from here. Just click add game and it should give correct path. If not or you use another hdd for games, set path yourself. Then just check for updates.If this doesn't work, delete pb folder from origin games/battlefield 3 and run pbsetup again. Remenber to check that your firewall allows pnkbstA & B throught.

There's also more advanced fixes which I remember from BF2 era but I think these are enough.

I've already done that, i'll try them once more, then you will have to dig out your magic from BF2 :D

Pretty sure it was this. Last resort is to reinstall whole game. But since packet flow error is about pb services not being able to contact servers I'm not sure if it will do any good.
