Yeah, I tried all you suggested Heretic. Nothing. I have tried all everyone has suggested thus far (except the PB thing, working on it now), If it is indeed our graphics cards, then how come lots of us are having the exact same problem, yet we can run Single Player PERFECT?

It just doesn't all add up to some of the ways people are putting it.

You Need to download pbweb.exe to the Battlefield 2\pb directory, I don't know where you installed it. On mine it is: C:\Games\Battlefield 2\pb\  and then run it from there.

That really worked?  I never would have guessed PB had anything to do with it....

Keep us updated!

P.S. Which cilent? The latest one?
You could give us a step-by-step on what you did, to be more helpful.

YArrr!! this has poop written all over it

I too, have this problem.
But on top of this crashing to desktop, i have a sligth sound problem.
What happens?
About half way through map load my sound(music) starts to get all garbled up and then is gone.Once ingame (if i don't crash shortly afterwards) I can only hear certain things..explosions,birds, fires..footsteps..seem to about the only thing i can hear. I can't hear myself shoot, or tank shells, or apc's fire..sucks really.. i thought it may have been a driver problem. so i installed the newest Soundblaster driver,did nothing. so i did a driver roll-back and still get the same thing.
All started yesterday...


I'm only like 100 points from my next rank to.. i'm itching to play

Seems to be working fine now. Who'd have thought PB was the problem?  Thanks!

yea seems like we were able to play singleplayer fine because it didnt require pb, and i would guess when the actual pb was trying to update it couldnt do it because of the maintainance on 10/29(problaly messed up the current pb files) therefore making us have to overwrite them. and add that security file.

Ok since people are getting this related problem again, as well as me I thought it should stay in this thread!

the new problem seems to be solved differently from the first one.

the new problem is pb related again I would suppose.

it kicks people out but actually shows a message "connection was lost" or something like that

updating pb does not help, as it solved it on the first problem back in october.

Yes im getting the same here, but mine totally freezes up and i have to restart my comp. I never updated last time with the PB thing it just sorted itself out the next day. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Yeah........... Why does it have to do this stuff when I'm trying to accomplish something?
Back at the End of Oct. I was trying to get Vet. Explosion Badge, and US Navy Cross.
And yesterday I was trying to get Expert Spec Ops Badge.
In between I was just playing for fun.
Kind of frustrating.

I hope BF2 : SF doesn't have severe problems like this. If so, I might wait on getting it.

I had the problem with a freezing spawn screen when joining a new server (also in singleplayer). THerefore the game was unplayable.
Removed the game, reinstalled, added pathces, didn't work. Tried it without patches, with restarting in between the patches, nothing worked.

Then  I removed everything (scrrenshots, profiles too). I was the profiles fault. After their removal i reinstalled the game and the pathces. Now it works again.

There's an new version of punkbuster that just came out. You need to update to the latest version.

Hey Pogled,
When you deleted your profile, did you lose all your scoring, awards, etc?

That was the solution last time, but it didn't work (for me) this time.

Yeah I noticed that too. Last nite after I installed the latest PB update it worked, but today it didn't...

This has been happening to me too, it started today but updating PB seemed to work (for now anyway) so i wonder what the problem is.

Has anyone e-mailed PB concerning the matter ?
