Hi guys, how we fix this?

The Other threads about it don't exist anymore. Search came up empty handed.

Thanks for the help, perhaps pinning the solution to this problem could avoid the need or new threads.

Is PunkBusterA running before you start BF2? Try manually updating PB using the instructions on their website.

Over the summer I had a major problem regarding punk buster failing to handshake and it annoyed the hell out of me because neither I nor customer support could figure out what it was... Turned out, I read a thread for getting rid of lag on BF2, and one of the suggestions involved making a batch file that automatically ran BF2 as a high priority application. That idea worked for a while then just stopped working all of the sudden. So I started up BF2 the regular way and voila!

OMG YOU ALL NOOBS, no affence


IT - IS - YOUR - FIREWALL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!


Bah, countless forums.......


Open you firewall, i use Zone Alarm.....

In you Program Control, or whatever..... Find PnkBstrB.exe, If you cant find it, search for it, it is located in 2 places....

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\pb\PnkBstrB.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrB.exe


MAKE SURE YOU ALLOW BOTH OF THESE TO ACCESS THE INTERNETZ!!!!!

THE REASON YOU ARE BEING KICKED IS BECAUSE YOUR FIREWALL IS DOIN THE OL' STFU AND GIVING YOU THE FINGER, AND NOT ALLOWING THESE TO CONNECT!!!! OVERWRIGHT IT!!!!

These apps open automagically everytime you Startup, if they dont, make them, either open them manually, or put a shortcut in your startup folder.... Start>All Programs>Startup

Thankyou

EDIT: If you cant find them, update. Then The firewall

Then it seems you dont have the file, could you find them in those folders?

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\pb\PnkBstrB.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrB.exe

Hit me back, i'll do research

There is no logical way that the batch had anything to do with it, PB probably updated in game when you were high priority.....

Probably true. All I know is that it stopped working when I tried using the batch but worked when I went back to the regular way

Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services, find PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe and make sure their startup type is "Automatic", and if they are not currently running, start them.
