Attachment 6613It seems EA fell over at about 1am AEST, again. Since then, a new server-side patch has been released, and the Gamers-Underground.com servers have just been updated with it. This should fix the Punkbuster kick issues that are being experience globally.
Despite this, DICE has requested that all servers are run without Punkbuster enabled until the master server restart taking place at approximately 6pm AEST tonight - which didn't happen last night as planned.
