Project Reality Forums

Greeting community.
I love this project, but sadly, it gives me some issues.

1) First thing. I usually get kicked out from game, no error, nothing shows up, it would look like if I pressed ALT+F4. I think it is because I have too weak computer?
My PC detaisl are:
Intel Core 2 Quad, Q6600, 2.40GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
4096MG Ram
Windows 7 32 bit.

2) I am getting banned from many servers. Not all but many, and I don't know why, especially on evening. Is there something wrong with Punkbuster? I updated it, but it didn't work, I usually get 1337 minutes ban time form server.

Please, help me with these issues.
Happy new year!

This should be in technical support.

Your computer should be able to play the game fine, try changing textures to medium, it can solve a few problems.

Update Punkbuster: PunkBuster Online Countermeasures
Also try running the game without any other programs you might be using that effect the game in some way.
eg. the punkbuster used to kick people for using Fraps becuase of the overlay even though the program itself was not a hack.

If that doesnt work uninstall PR and BF2 and install again in this order:
Battlefield2--->Bf2 patch 1.41--->Bf2 patch 1.5--->PR 0.95 part1--->PR 0.95 part2--->0.95 part3--->Update Punkbuster again.

I usually get 1337 minutes ban time

Thats a pretty LEET ban time BTW sorry just had to say it.

Well thanks, I will try these methods, I was already playing on medium settings, high settings give me texture glitches, don't know why. Like transparent buildings, black and grey textures.

I will reinstall my PR, like you told me to do. Then I will check.

Yeah, I know that magic number. Weird how it always kicks me for elite seconds.

make sure to use the 1.41 and not just 1.4 patch!

also moved to support forums

Please give the exact message you recieve when kicked by punkbuster (maybe even a screenshot).

Rare and random crashes to desktop (CTDs) are somewhat normal in BF2. If they are frequently you might want to run PR in windowed mode - this might give you an error message which you then should be able to google/post here.
