Battlefield 3 owners could experience black (loading) screens during a map change when playing online. For me this only occurs when playing on Back to Karkand servers. I found this video explaining the solution: update PunkBuster manually.
Update Dec. 30 2011: Since my BF3 crashes at a map change again it seems the PunkBuster solution (as explained below as well) was only a temporary fix, and there’s no permanent one yet. An official bug report can be found here.
- Go to the support page of the PunkBuster website and download “pbsetup”
- Run “pbsetup” and add Battlefield 3 by choosing “Add a game” in the menu
- Select Battlefield 3 and choose “Check for updates”

doesn`t work for me … first time was everything OK, but when I try to run BF next day problem was back again … any other solution? :/
@nomak, happened to me as well, see the update in my post. I still haven’t found another solution, so for now I play on servers without map rotation.
