Are there Project Reality Servers with Punkbuster Disabled?

Post by Simmy »

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is an easy question and/or has been answered elsewhere.

Just spent all day installing BF2, downloading mods etc only to find that Punkbuster is incompatible with Windows 7 (my current OS), and I'm kicked after 20 seconds.

Now, rather than re-installing Windows Vista, are there any servers minus punkbuster? All the ones I search for in-game have it enabled, is there any other way to search/find servers which have Punbuster disabled?

If anyone can help, or point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks guys, and thanks in advance for going easy on a n00b :)

i believe punkbuster is a requirement for getting a PR server license.

so best bet might be PRSP.

Should have not deleted your old windows, Especially if all you had planned was installing a beta OS. Reinstalling vista or xp would be your only choice unless PB decides to release a new client for w7

Not sure if it works, but you might have a chance setting compatibility to XP (right click on your PR chortcut, click properities, compatibility tab, and select windows XP). Please note that I have no idea of windows 7's functions, and what I say is based off of windows Vista (but there must be some way of getting it working, as some people here sem to be using win7 (think UKForce does))

Can't you run in 'compatibility mode'?
