My brother got back to PR recently and is playing some COOP to get to know the game again. He's suffering from punkbuster ****. Every x minutes he gets kicked off a game with the message "time out trying to update PB client".

He updated his PB a couple of times already.
BF2.exe, PR.exe, PnkBstrA.exe, PnkBstrB.exe are all running as administrator.

What else can he do to get rid of this annoying bug?

Thanks.

type pb_sleep 500 in the console

disable the firewall / antivirus and any other unnecessay background tasks

Is his connection to the router wireless btw?

No, he's wired directly to the router.

I'll tell him to disable AV and Firewall, see if that helps anything.

"type pb_sleep 500 in the console"

this is to switch to 500 milliseconds, i.e. 5 seconds, this may or may not work.

Likely AV/firewall,

If punkbstra or punkbstrb are terminating unexpectedly, you can install bitsum process lasso (32 or 64 bit depednding on OS), and toggle the switch to 'turn on immediately upon termination"
