Maybe a temporary fix! Try it now!

[xXbrick84Xx]

Hey guys, I know a lot of you, including myself are having problems being kicked by punkbuster, or CTD all the time. Well thanks to S.Proffit, I may have a temporary fix. Worked for me and 2 other people. Worked for me on XP 32 bit, and two friends on Vista 32 bit.

Step 1:
Go to your BF2 game folder and delete the punkbuster file, should say PB.

Step 2:
Go to control panel, add/remove programs, and uninstall PB Services.

Step 3:
Download pbsvc.exe from this link http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Step 4:
Install punkbuster

Step 5:
Install pbsetup.exe from here PunkBuster Online Countermeasures
and update punkbuster

Step 6:
Download battlefield cleaner from here
Download Battlefield Cleaner (v2)
and clean all the caches.

Step 7:
Restart your PC

Step 8:
Start up PR and go to graphics settings, change all settings to medium.

Step 9:
Go to audio settings and change audio from software to hardware

Step 10:
Enjoy not being kicked or crashing to desktop! (Hopefully)

Thanks and I hope it works,
Brick

Umm, yeah who the hell wants to do that if they play on all high already?? Screw that. Game looks like **** on Medium.

[xXbrick84Xx]

Try just turning textures down to medium. I play on all high too and I just turned textures down to medium and no more CTD.

Seems to be working.
Thanks for finding + posting this.

[xXbrick84Xx]

No problem guys, spread the word! That way we can get more players in game and not complaining on the support forums lol.

[zvenner]

Still the same problem ...

The weird thing is, that it works perfectly in Co-op lan mode ...

[xXbrick84Xx]

Hmmmm. What OS you got?

[LUKE_NUKE_EM]

Worked for me too!

You're the best I love you

[lukewilkilu]

love ya man

[eenis]

have you tried turning it back to high?

[xXbrick84Xx]

Haven't tried it yet. Waiting for new patch until I do that

[LUKE_NUKE_EM]

I really need to upgrade my graphics card so I can run this damn thing on high.

[xXbrick84Xx]

Well you'll probably be able to once they put a new patch out that fixes most of the problems. But for now you need to keep the settings at medium. Or at least textures.

Are you talking to me? Because I really do need an upgrade from my Geforce 8500 GT. I couldn't even run it on high in .87. Not a problem with my processor either, mines capable of supporting that.

Hey you know what it's like in Seattle today???

[xXbrick84Xx]

Luke I'm going to kill you , anyway, more and more people are STILL posting threads about the SAME problems. I'm telling you guys, try this fix! It has been proven to work!


PS: Luke, guess what its like in Chicago today?

[xXbrick84Xx]

Still seeing people posting threads about CTD and punkbuster. GUYS TRY THIS FIX. If it doesn't work THEN post a thread. Try this fix before posting another thread.
