Punkbuster B

[ironcheese123]

I get kicked for a punkbusterB.exe error every time i try to join a online match on all servers except linux hosted servers. if some one could tell me what the problem is and how to fix it, it would be much appreciated.

Punk Buster not updated:
Before you go online to join a server
you should:

1. Download pbsvc
2. Start pbsvc installer, you should see options for install, uninstall, test.
3. Run the Uninstaller, then delete the PB folder to remove any leftover files.
4. Restart your computer.
5. reinstall punk buster files with pbsvc( if your using Vista DO NOT set compatibility to XP, run as admin ok)
6. After pcsvc installs, click the "test" option to check the punk buster install you just did.
5. Make sure it comes back "all green"
6.Download pbsetup(pbsvc DOES NOT install pbsetup.
If your using Vista DO NOT set compatibility to XP, run as admin ok)
7.Create a pbsvc installer shortcut AND pbsetup program shortcut on your desktop.
8.Run pbsetup (from the shortcut on your desktop) add BF2 to the games list, then hit update."

(pbsvc installs the punk buster 'engines' or applications.
PBsetup installs the files/gas the 'engines run)

If you still get PB 'kicks' try this:

Open your Control Panel. Go to Administrative Services.

Click on Services while PR is running. Select Punkbuster B, right click, select properties,

select the recovery tab and make sure they all say "Restart the service" for all three

dropdowns. You can do the same for PB A, but generally speaking, it's the B client that stops

responding. Any time you update PB, you may need to re-do this step.

Good luck
