Award,
I got the same message from PB. Kicked for 2 minutes. I have a new macnine and no hacks have ever been installed on it! I was kicked completely out of the game. I was able to rejoin game and asked "ingame" if anybody knew why I was kicked by PB. The answer I got was that PB was "updating!" Just prior to the kick I experienced a major lag. That was only about the second time I had played on-line. I have not been kicked sinced. I wonder if others are getting the same treatment when they first start playing?

I have been seeing a alot of people being kicked and I think the PB is having problem authenticating. I had this happen twice last night before I was able to get into a game... maybe EB's system can't handle the traffic or someone is DOSING their server.

i think it could be pb updating which might explain the lag. who knows. have either of you been able to play since or experienced more problems lately? i haven't read the bfv forums so i don't know if there is a lot of people experiencing this?

peace-

I have played since then for several hours with no kicks. I have experienced the occassional lag in the game along with others in the same game. I have also received the blue screen a couple of times where I was locked up completely and had to do hard boot. . Again, this is a new system with following specs: Dell 8300 P4 3.0 Ghz, 800 Mhz FSB, 1GB DDR 400 Mhz Ram, ADI 19" Monitor, ATI Radeon 9600 128MB, 120GB SATA HD, Windows Home XP, ADSL. Did not have this problem with BF42.
