I'm getting the error "Restriction: disallowed program/driver [125083]" after I play in any server for about a minute. I just re bought the game yesterday on steam because I sold it a few months ago out of frustration of it not working properly. Now after having the game for a day I ran into a issue. The error seems to be pretty straightforward, pretty much there's software on my computer that PB doesn't like. The problem is, how do I figure out what software is causing this?!?
 
I reinstalled the game and then manually updated the game and I still get the issue.
 
I quick google of that message and it's pretty common. I would submit a help ticket with Evenbalance.

Did you buy this game new or used?
 
Are you using a custom color profile for your monitor? PB used to kick for that, don't know if it still does.

He was not referring to the game. He was referring to manually updating PB. Try that and see if that helps any.
 
Using any kind of in game screen overlay? I think it will kick for any kind of overlay, temp, cpu usage programs whatever. ATI Tray Tools FPS counter causes a kick like that for me, and yes I see your using Nvidia.

LOL, I see that now. The reason I asked is that error is associated with hardware bans in a lot of the threads that I dug up on my Google search.

EDIT: Turn off the steam friends thing.
