[Markuskiller]

as of today, everytime i join a sever punkbuster kicks me for a no packet flow. Could someone please inform me on what a no packet flow is and how to make punkbuster stop kicking me for it?

From EA support:

You must configure your router/firewall to have the game's ports open in order to connect to the servers properly. The ports for Battlefield 2 are as follows:

UDP ports:
* 27900 - 27901
* 29900
* 29910
* 55123 - 55215
* 16567
* 1500-4999

TCP ports:
* 80
* 29900 - 29901
* 29920
* 28910
* 4711

Also make sure punkbuster is up to date.

Re: help, punkbuster keeps kicking me

update your punkbuster using the pbsetup program:

then after that, try this:

Reduce number of PunkBuster checks

To do this you need to:

1. OK, the first step is very simple, join any BF2 online server which is running Punkbuster, preferably a ranked one.
2. Once you are in, and re-spawned somewhere, press the ` key. This key is located on most keyboards above the tab key and to the left of the 1 key
3. Once you have pressed this, a large white box should drop down with a load of text in it. Type pb_sleep 500 and hit the enter key
4. Once you have done this, make sure the box is still up and type pb_writecfg to save your settings

"UDP 1500-4999"

how do you enter this without adding a single port at a time in vista?

Re: help, punkbuster keeps kicking me

ok i did all the above, forwarded all ports, used pbsetup, even the pb_sleep 500 fix, nothing works, when i was in there ` i saw pb saying corrupt or mismatched file......
