FIX: Join game, freeze [and audio problems w/ Audigy 2 ZS]

[K-Boom]

I have an Audigy 2 ZS sound card, and the seek for a solution started because after I joined a game, after 10-15 seconds I got a quick freeze and most of times it caused my sound to go completely bugged, missing sounds, crackling and strange noises.

Like this: http://www.youtube.com/v/bkAhX0OmbGI

So, maybe it can be a quick freeze here, but can be a longer freeze on other systems. Give it a try...

Its a Punkbuster related issue, downloading a new Punkbuster .dll and replacing the original has fixed my problems. Backup the original file, and try the new one.

Now when I join the game, the freeze is like 100 ms long, you can almost ignore it.

No more audio problems, or join/freeze problems, for me

It's already there:

Place it in the "pb" folder of your BF2 installation folder

e.g. : C:\Program Files\Battlefield 2\pb
