ok, well I've had this problem for about a month now, and i even went to the "offical" punkbuster website and used one of those support tickets for help, and not even the punkbuster "people" could help.

ok, this is my problem.

i join a server and a few seconds later i get kicked, with this punkbuster error message or should i say, what message?

yes, its very anoying, I've tried everything, deleting stuff and re-updating PB, i don't have any firewalls, and i disabled my antivirus, unstalling and reinstalling. noting works, it happens to every single server.

I hate to be one of those people, but if you use the search feature in the forums, you'll come up with some answers.

From what I've gathered, it could be two things:

1. With the new punkbuster update, you have to let your firewall (if you're running one) to allow access to both pnkbstrA.exe and pnkbstrB.exe. You can't play Battlefield without giving access to those files.

2. Those files must be running while you play. They're setup as a service that automatically load up when the computer boots, and when the game is running. Make sure that the services are running properly. You may have to manually update your punkbuster client, and/or uninstall/reinstall punkbuster.

Do a search for punkbuster if you need more info.

He said he had no firewalls and had tried disabling AV's.. so that's obviously not the problem...

He also said that he has tried updating punkbuster himself from the HP..

Conclusion: You are a retard Battlecrybob

#Topic:
Have you tried playing on different servers?
Try the EA authorized servers (starts with EA, then country letters e.g. UK) they should work.. if not, i have no idea...

It's nice to be called a retard when trying to be helpful.

I would still try uninstalling/reinstalling the punkbuster service. That's what fixed it for me. Go download pbsvc.exe.

I had this when I installed the game for the first time 2 weeks ago. I just reinstalled 2142 and updated PB and it went away.
