CTD When Joining Multiplayer Games

Whenever I try to join a multiplayer game, I get a crash to desktop. At first I thought maby the maps were corrupt, but in a local game they were fine, I even had friends join them and it was okay. I have the latest non-beta drivers for my hardware, plus I have all updates for my OS (Windows Vista Home Premium x32).

Are you joining servers running the same version as your client files are?

ie if you have PR version 0.75 make sure to join servers with 0.75 in their name.

I had a few CTD with 0.756, and I've never had any with earlier versions.

I ended up manually downloading the latest punkbuster files and that solved it.
No more CTD's.

Tried updating punkbuster, didn't work. Uninstalled BF2 clearing out EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF and then reinstalling everything, still didn't work. Looks like the PR gods are not smiling upon me today.....
