Project Reality Forums

Hey guys, I know a lot of you, including myself are having problems being kicked by punkbuster, or CTD all the time. Well thanks to S.Proffit, I may have a temporary fix. Worked for me and 2 other people. Worked for me on XP 32 bit, and two friends on Vista 32 bit.

Step 1:
Go to your BF2 game folder and delete the punkbuster file, should say PB.

Step 2:
Go to control panel, add/remove programs, and uninstall PB Services.

Step 3:
Download pbsvc.exe from this link http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Step 4:
Install punkbuster

Step 5:
Install pbsetup.exe from here PunkBuster Online Countermeasures
and update punkbuster

Step 6:
Download battlefield cleaner from here
Download Battlefield Cleaner (v2)
and clean all the caches.

Step 7:
Restart your PC

Step 8:
Start up PR and go to graphics settings, change all settings to medium.

Step 9:
Go to audio settings and change audio from software to hardware

Step 10:
Enjoy not being kicked or crashing to desktop! (Hopefully)

Thanks and I hope it works,
Brick

Thanks worked for me win 7

Umm, yeah who the hell wants to do that if they play on all high already?? Screw that. Game looks like **** on Medium.

Try just turning textures down to medium. I play on all high too and I just turned textures down to medium and no more CTD.

Seems to be working.
Thanks for finding + posting this.

No problem guys, spread the word! That way we can get more players in game and not complaining on the support forums lol.

Still the same problem ...

The weird thing is, that it works perfectly in Co-op lan mode ...

Hmmmm. What OS you got?

Worked for me too!

You're the best I love you

love ya man

have you tried turning it back to high?

Haven't tried it yet. Waiting for new patch until I do that

I really need to upgrade my graphics card so I can run this damn thing on high.

Well you'll probably be able to once they put a new patch out that fixes most of the problems. But for now you need to keep the settings at medium. Or at least textures.

Are you talking to me? Because I really do need an upgrade from my Geforce 8500 GT. I couldn't even run it on high in .87. Not a problem with my processor either, mines capable of supporting that.

Hey you know what it's like in Seattle today???

Luke I'm going to kill you , anyway, more and more people are STILL posting threads about the SAME problems. I'm telling you guys, try this fix! It has been proven to work!


PS: Luke, guess what its like in Chicago today?

Still seeing people posting threads about CTD and punkbuster. GUYS TRY THIS FIX. If it doesn't work THEN post a thread. Try this fix before posting another thread.

im still having the exact problem of crashing with black screen, and have tried the method at the top..
