    try
    Setup->Personal Firewall->IDS and Advanced Options->uncheck Covert data in ICMP protocol detection

    try enabling pre-release update too in case the issue is fixed as disabling the above is classed as not "safe"

    I registed on these forums to provide a fix for the issue you are having.

    -----------------------------------------------
    This will also fix your battle log ping viewer aswell.
    -----------------------------------------------

    Instructions :

    Thanks for the help guys, Managed to fix the problem though for anyone else that needs the fix for ESET v5.0

    SETUP
    ENTER ADVANCED SETUP
    NETWORK/PERSONAL FIREWALL
    IDS & ADVANCED OPTIONS/
    PACKET INSPECTION/

    Untick : Convert data in icmp protocall detection.

    Press ok then ok again and close ESET ....

    Close your IE or what ever you use for battle log and reopen and log back in and you should noticed your pings are viewable now and not greyed out.


    :argh: :argh:

    I never knew about ICMP packets until now, and after a bit of research on it, I wish I didn't have to disable this feature in ESET. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any practical alternative.

    A more simple solution / less detrimental to security is to just uncheck the ICMP Packet sub-checkmark.

    Can we get an actual fix for the firewall, especially since they added a "Gaming Mode" feature to Eset 5.0 which seems to be useless so far? Your solution contains a great deal of reductive logic (you may as well just disable your firewall if you are going to uncheck that full set of stuff). The IP blocked is totally dynamic (its pinging the server directly), so this requires a direct fix from Eset.

    The problem is in the game itself as it exploits ICMP to transmit some hidden data which is subsequently detected correctly by ESS firewall. We'll exclude BatlleField from detection of the covert channel exploit in the next build of the firewall module (probably 1074). In the mean time, you can disable the detection of covert data in IMCP or add the appropriate IP addresses to the list of addresses excluded from active protection (IDS) in the zone setup.
