Every release some people are affected by PB kicking them without them having lags or cheating. To me this happened during the last release. In 0.87 I couldnt stay on a server for longer than 1 minute till PB kicked me.
Now in 0.9 I dont have this problem anymore, but I heart that others now suffer from it as instead. Here is the solution:
1. Download PB setup (PunkBuster Online Countermeasures)
2. Install PB setup
3. Use PB setup to update BF2 everytime before starting PR

Most people know about this already but I just saw someone today who didnt know and thought that there might be others searching for this.

Have fun

I suggest doing this for EVERY game that uses PB, even auto-updating games like AA3.

Not having an updated PunkBuster can lead to some unexplained problems.

Also a not for STEAM users (no-PR related but anyways...) IF YOUR GAME is experiencing any abnormalities (ex. COD WAW but when nothing happens when you trying to join a coop game), make sure you right click your game, Properties and Verify Integrity or something like that, followed by a PB update.

i had this punkbuster heartbeat problems but those are gone now.
