PunkBuster

[Shocker11]

Okay, perhaps a dumb question but here goes...

I understand the point of the punkbuster, yet at the same time it gets really annoying, I've never played a single server for more than 5 or 6 minutes. So how do I avoid this? I don't have time to join a clan but I enjoy playing the game. Tips?

What does it say when you get disconnected from a server?

[Shocker11]

All it says is punkbuster. I've occasionally gotten a disconnected from server but that was when I was using the 1.4 beta and it was only on that server.

Update your punk buster. Sharp tell him how.

Try downloading and run these two files. That should sort it out.

Yep just run the files sharp said and hopefully all will be well again

[Shocker11]

Okay I've downloaded the files. I'll give them a try and let you know. Thanks for the help.

[Shocker11]

I believe I have the problem solved. Thank you very much!

Just for future reference.

Usually everyone has the same problem so they sticky it. And if nothing else works, just reinstall it all. Then it works nice and smooth usually for the next 2 months or so :thumbsup:
