Read this if you are experiencing connection issues

We are aware that some Battlefield 3 players are experiencing connection issues with PunkBuster enabled servers.

This problem is limited to a small subset of players on PC and will not impact players on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

We are actively looking into the specifics of this issue and we are confident that we will have a permanent solution in place shortly.

In the meantime, if your connectivity has been affected, we recommend that in the interim you join servers that are not running PunkBuster. There is a filter setting for this in the multiplayer server browser.

Thank you for your patience.

Servers without punkbuster are full of hackers, aren't they?

I can't go into servers with no punkbuster either! What's the problem?
BF3 - Y U NO WORK?!
Interesting use of word "small subset of players". More like "Yes we admit it - support team broke the game (again)"
Noobs.. ALL OF YOU.. REINSTALL PB WITHOUT YOUR POS FREEWARE ANTIVIRUS RUNNING HOW STUPID ARE YOU?
FML
So we need to play with hackers, cuz u guys cant fix ur game?
is cool guys they are working on it.
Well I don't only got problems with getting in punkbuster servers but i can't even join the one that hasn't punkbuster aswell.... Im getting sick and tired of this crap
Been a victem of this as well for a long time had to reinstall the game 4 times. Also the majority of the players that have been havin these issues have been smart enought to quit already. Since you did NOT put the effort into fixing the game you released.
when i want to go online it tell me origin network could not be reach. my connection is fine i think ... anyone having the same problem?
yeah again "a small subset of" stupid shit customers ...
