I've been having similar issues with punkbuster, sometimes I can play for over an hour other times just a few minutes. Then punkbuster kicks me, the information is as follows.

Punkbuster kicked player ( N Minutes) MD5tool Mismatch: mods\pr\objects\vehicles_client_patch1.zip (len=204

I have reinstalled the lated PR update to no avail, I have updated punkbuster separatley aswell. I'm new to this game as a whole, been a great deal of fun besides the reaccuring issue that has been driving me mad! lol

Lets make sure your file is not altered in any way. We will do this by comparing MD5 checksums from original file and one you have.

For this you will need Hash Calc program. Download it to you desktop unzip it and install it.

Upon opening make sure all is set as on image below



Now click on ... in Data field and navigate to where you installed BF2, then go to mods/pr/objects and select the file vehicles_client_patch1.zip

When done press calculate. It should give you some lines in MD5 and CRC32 fields. This is correct MD5 for the file.

Code: Select all

MD5: bd1cb470d6dbd3f7147b883aac46e45c
CRC32: 4ad9dc91

If yours is any different it means its being altered and thats why PB is kicking you. If you were opening and changing this file yourself then you should know better. Never do this with you game files.

There is possibility that some AV software might do this with game files, so try turning it off while you play.

If yours file MD5 or CRC32 differs from mine let me know, then Ill tell you what to do next.
