So recently I have  gotten this message whenever I start playing one of my favourite games, BF3: 

 

ERROR

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'kimpazz' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [89262]
 
 
 
Anyone got the same problem or know any solution? I currently have the beta Nvidia drivers on my GTX 780 but it's the same with the standard drivers aswell...

Have you tried updating your PunkBuster drivers?

they should be automatic?

I thought it was, but when I downloaded it, it comes with this updating tool that updates the PunkBuster you have for a specific game, for some reason my BF4 punkbuster was not up to date, but I was still able to play, nonetheless I updated to like 1.8 or something like that, no problems, usually I recommend using this method. Just head to the website and download their update utility and then update whatever game you please. Hope this helped! :D

Thanks for the answers:) Having problems with finding the correct file and webside location, you think you can link it to a noob like me;)

http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=support-bf4.php   I know it says BF4 but when you actually open the program you can choose what game you want to update.  Now from the link just click "PBSetup" and follow the instructions :D
