What's up with this game  takes forever to find a server to play on  and when i do find one  as soon as i make a few kills  i get kick by punkbuster or the game just closes
i have no cheats what so ever  i'm all up to date   been doing this for the past month even manual update punkbuster and that did not help 

Are you updating BF3 using PBSetup?
 
Have you tried doing this?

1. Go to your bf3 folder
2. Delete the pb folder
3. Go to the installed folder and open pbsec.exe

 
 
 

1. Go to the installed folder and open pbsec.exe  (that's in origin game folder right )
2. where is the bf3 folder  is that the one in y doc's 
3. thanks for the help

 

I don't have BF3  install right now, but i would check C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games for Battlefield 3 folder.

What message did you receive?
 
Sometimes punkbuster process fails to load and all you need to do is go into the install directory and use the repair tool which will turn on the program. This is the fix for 99% of punkbuster related issues since 2002.
