Upload your wireshark log to a file sharing site like Mediafire.

For the PC players getting disconnected, can you please run a WireShark log while you are playing/getting disconnected and get the LOG file to me? If you aren't familiar with WireShark, I have made this quick and easy guide for you to follow (NOTE: No network traffic data is sent to EA/DICE or Evenbalance while you run Wireshark, the only time we will see your network traffic is when/if you send us the log file): Install Download Wireshark from ensuring you get the correct version (32 or 64 bit). This should resolve the kicking after 5 minutes that some of you are seeing. Log back in to Battlelog and connect to a server of your choice. Download PBSetup from and run it as Administrator (Add all the games you have installed to the list) and run the process. If you are being kicked for "MD5Tool Mismatch: Update\Patch\Data\cas_50.cas (len=2048)" and you have never used the BF3 Tweaker please note GGC-Stream sent a invalid MD5Tool scan to many BF3 servers that stream to them.Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and select Task Manager Go to the PROCESSES tab Find PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe and END PROCESS on both of them Download PBSVC.exe from and run it as Administrator. We are not kicking for BF3 Colour Tweaker released by Realmware. Please note that just because a player is kicked for this doesn't mean they are cheating.
We are not banning for it so removing the files you are kicked for and repairing your game install should stop you from being kicked. If you are being kicked for MD5Tool Mismatch and it lists a file named cas_50.cas or higher then you have to remove the file and should perform a repair install using Origin to repair any game files that may have been modified by the tweaker. They have nothing to do with the current MD5Tool kicks for various. This is not an action from EA, DICE or Even Balance (PunkBuster). For that reason we have added a MD5Tool scan that kicks for it over the past days. We know some only use it to remove the blue tint but it's also used to cheat.
