Whats up with Vista+BF2+BF2142 ?

[Delmont69]

Hi

I have a strange problem...

If I install Battlefield 2 only (fully patched+SF+EF+AF+Tampa) on Windows Vista Ultimate (Danish). The game runs just fine... I can play it for hours without any problems!
But as soon as I install Battlefield 2142 (fully patched+NS) on the same machine. Both BF2 and BF2142 runs like cr*p... Constant connection losses and game crashes ?!?!?
I'm only able to play 1 or 2 rounds on a map! Gets thrown off with the standard "The connection to the server has been lost" answer ???

I then uninstalled BF2142 just to be on the safe side...
And shure enough... Battlefield 2 runs just fine... Been playing it for the last 5 hours since I uninstalled BF2142?

Whats happenin'...... Has anyone else experienced this problem ?
Could it be some confusion between the two Punktbuster versions running ???
Vista security ?
Haven't tried with Battlefield 2142 only..... To much patchin going on with BF2.

Any help would be appreciated....Thanks!

Maybe when you go online with one game, pb detects both and tries to auto update both at the same time.
Run the PB services installer, and then manually update both games with pbsetup.exe.

Just cancel this thread. It was PB that needed manual updating...
