google it. gotta download the punkbuster update manually

it is the anticheat it isn't inside u have to download it from the official site, open it and look for the game and patch it (the .exe does that, just locate the game in the app)

i had to delete punkbuster (all files and folders) and uninstall the game, same thing (all files and folders) let the game install punkbuster and let it update itself worked for me...

also if you play Call of Duty World at War multiplayer the old (punkbuster file that you have to use) for that game will cause you to be kicked also, even if you manually update it...

i downloaded from above link, try to add game, and it says pathway bad. i tried 2 other ways on reddit i saw, nothing. i am unistalling and thats the last thing i try before i ask for a refund

Punkbuster was flawless at detect and ban cheaters in the 90s, the only downside with it was that it has to be updated all the time .. But with the latest Ai technology the Punkbuster could be a very very strong anticheat solution for sure if it is updated regular and without warnings !

Punkbuster if build into the game or steam is a kernel level anticheat solution, so it will be able to read any port on your pc and what is going on through your cpu/gpu and in your memory it can even detect streamed cheats such as Rasberry pi hardware cheats .. very strong if build right !"

Wich I really dont know so much about .. but if the anticheat company´s do as i say, then there will be no more cheaters in our games !

Then Steam can be used as a direct platform to make pro matches with ..
But that would require that Steam demand digital id from Nets to login, the same people use today to protect their bank transfers with when they buy stuff on the internet !
