Kicked by Punkbuster? This is how you fix it on Windows and Linux/Steamdeck!

Update 2: It seems to work again!

Update 1:
EA seems to broke Punkbuster either on purpose or by accident on September 6. It worked like this since it was necessary around 6-7 years ago. Now updating Punkbuster no longer works properly or at all on some systems.
i tested it on two Windows 11 systems and my Steam Deck and i was not able to get BF4 to run on any of them. Even the Server Browser is no longer working and the game is basically dead since that day.

Punkbuster on Linux/Steamdeck
Download the same Windows .exe and not the Linux specific software!

Start the Software with Wine, open your Linux File Manager, copy the path to the BF4 Folder and paste it into the Punkbuster Software. It will patch the Game just like on Windows and you can immediately play online without further modifications.

Also worth a Try: change the following option in your firewall under PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB under Programs and Services: This program -> All programs that meet the specified conditions

Ah thx Kong. I received an update today and it erased the Punkbuster installation.

But I think this update was triggered by changing Steam account somehow.

BF4 hasn't been patched since June 2020. So, no.

Thanks for this guide. Do I have to reinstall Punkbuster every time if BF4 get patched by Steam ?
