This happens mostly because:

-Ports not forwarded correctly.
-Antivirus blocking PB Services.
-Another software conflicting with PB.
-In the end if everything is right then probably your ISP can't see you playing BF3. :)
Ports were forwarded properly. upnp was enabled as well. Checked via bittorrent also. No issue in other games.
Checked with temporarily disable antivirus as well as firewall. Same issue.
Nopes.

This could be the issue with Portt forwarding and FIREWALL/ANTIVIRUS
I manually forwarded all the ports listed in the link below, disable firewall temporarily. Issue was still not fixed.
The only fix that I found today is to run the DSL modem in bridging mode and make a PPoE dialer in network & sharing center.

Few months ago I had Huawei HG510 DSL modem now I am using Tenda WiFi Modem that was supplied by PTCL. Could be some compatibility issue/built-in ping&packet flood protection mechanism in DSL modem.

Why are you doing both steps? uPnP is enough. Make sure for Port forwarding your PC has static IP. If still the problem is not fixed try running Windows through Clean Boot. Also mention you Anti Virus here.

Welcome to the club. I am also getting this error and haven't found a fix. Updated game as well as manually updated punkbuster but to no avail. Are you by any chance using PTCL DSL?
Change ur Modem n Try again :) ur issue will be resolved :)

No need to change the modem. Changing to bridging instead of PPoE in DSL modem WAN settings fixes the issue as well.

Dude you don't get the base game with premium but with limited you get it.premium is just expansion packs

LE was good when the game was launched
as 07ee17 said Buy Normal base Game And Then Buy premium to gell all expansion pack
In premium you Get Premium Dogtags
Extra Weapons
Reset Stas Option
PRIORITIZED QUEUE :wink2:
Get 2 Weeks Early access TO DLCs way before they release for Normal Audience (y)
You Get Assignments (1)
Premium costs 4k to 4.7k

Or You can do is Buy Every DLC one by one at the time of Release each DLC will cost 1500rs

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
