Here's the server-side error message that happens when Crap was kicked off the game server - the key element is "Losing Key Packets" with a PB error number 9003. (IP and guid anonymised)
In case anyone has good ideas.

Re: Craps PB error

Re: Craps PB error
Might be something to do with metabans?

Re: Craps PB error
Just checked a number of threads it's seems the consensus is to update PB! However I suspect you have already done this. So my advice would be to wait for PB to release an update that works, you do not appear to be on your own.
Re: Craps PB error
yes, ive updated PB several times. Ive also deleted it and reinstalled it several times. I also reinstalled BF3 and then updated PB. didnt work.
I also got 2 solutions from EA but they didnt work and ive scrolled the internet for a solution going from router settings to graphic settings conserning PB...but nothing worked.
So now im only playing on servers that dont have PB, best solution so far.
thnx for the help guys.

Re: Craps PB error
I had a problem with PB when I was playing BF2. The way I fixed it was. I uninstalled the game and PB, then I went into regedit and removed all trace of the game and pb. You should try that

Re: Craps PB error
pfff, there are so many maps in the regedit with foldernames i cant understand. I looked into some of them but i couldnt find anything refering to PB.
Dont know where to begin removing everything in regedit regarding to PB and why is this better then a uninstall reinstall from BF3 along with PB/update?

Re: Craps PB error
Because if you uninstall some of the registry files might not get deleted and that might fuck something up. Did for me..
And yes, LIKE A BOSS!![clapper aa)](./images/smilies/aktion033.gif)
btw I think you will find BF3 or/and pb in one of the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software

Re: Craps PB error
ive searched every file of regedit after removing PB. No file found. after reïnstall PB no difference as in .....it doesnt work. But thnx,wurth a shot.
PB does not modify the system registry nor hide files or other information anywhere else on your system. The only time it does put some files hidden is in your user/appdata....

Re: Craps PB error
The web is full of angry peeps with the same problem.
This seems the most helpful, with a few finding solutions, but the majority waiting for EA to fix it. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/7749056.page
This worked for some:-

Well, I've had the same issue when connecting to punkbuster enabled servers and spent a few hours troubleshooting aswell
My solution was pretty lame...
When starting a multiplayer session to a non-punkbuster enabled server I had the time to notice the gameplay settings.
The >Allow Punkbuster< Setting was set to >NO< by default.... which was causing me to disc everytime.
Changing the setting to >YES< worked for me
Hope it helps you guys
Worth trying a few of these, but follow the main thread for more advice and help mateAll you need to do is join an unranked server go to options and you will notice punkbuster is dissabled, eneble it and you should be able to join any server now.
Pretty simple and stupid fix but it fixed mine.

Re: Craps PB error
it's not metabans - Crappy has this issue on all PB servers including ours, only 1 in maybe 30 has metabans, and our metabans plugin is temporarily off.
Fundamentally the "lost packets" error is the game server PB module saying it has NOT had a reply to a query it made to the gamer's desktop client within some timeout. This can be because an out-of-date client simply doesn't understand the new query (and so ignores it) or something else is going on on the client that means the client PB module doesn't respond properly - those issues can include the PB client being starved of CPU time (e.g. low priority) or a firewall or router blocking certain packets. The most common reason seems to be an out-of-date client not responding properly to queries from a new server (hence the web hints) but probably not this in crappy's case.
I reckon it's jism on the keyboard.
