Recently, the Battlefield 3 community found itself under seige by a group of cheats and hackers that had taken the liberty of issuing bans to players that were playing on servers protected by the anti-cheat measures of Punkbuster. DICE seems to have gotten the problems under control with reversal of “faulty bans” and precautionary measures to ensure that it doesn’t happen in the future.
“We have determined the root cause in the server bans is not directly related to Battlefield 3, but rather related to select 3rd party services which server owners can use in conjunction with Punkbuster to protect their servers,” said DICE.
PC players have been the only ones affected in the recent PunkBuster problems. Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players can play without feeling the wrath of the “faulty” banhammer.
