In an effort to slow the bleeding that is the gaping wound of false PunkBuster bans, EA and DICE are stepping up their game. The other day, a blog entry on Battlelog stated that they have discovered the root cause for all of these false positives.
They claim that the faults lies not with Battlefield 3 but with particular 3rd party services that utilize the PunkBuster service to help protect their servers. Well duh. A more recent update says that they are continuing to investigate users who are still reporting being falsely banned from some servers. They urge those players to try joining other PB enabled servers as the problem is only limited to a select number of servers still.
In related news, it seems as though DICE is looking to improve their anti-cheat work and are hiring an "Anti Cheat Administrator".
