Damned PunkBuster

[petruccig]

Hi!
I have a big problem with punkbuster.I'm continually kick out from almost all servers with low latency or not.The game load the map,when I click on join in,I can see the map with enter point and the kit selection,but after few seconds punkbuster kick me out to server list screen and show me a pop-up window with the only inscription "PunkBuster". No more information,no code for error,nothing.I'm running on an Windows XP admin profile,the same Windows XP account that I installed the game under. Always,before execute the game I close antivirus/firewall (KIS 7) and many process.
I tried to update punkbuster by PBSETUP.EXE.I tried to download and execute PBSVC.EXE but the test service show me steps all green.The only thing that I never try is do Uninstall by PBSVC.EXE.
Somebody can help me,please?

Thanks a lot in advance

uninstal and reinstal punkbuster should work.

[petruccig]

Great!
I'll try very soon to unistall and reinstall punkbuster.
How I must unistall it? By PBSVC.EXE? And for reinstall it? By PBSVC.EXE or PBSETUP.EXE?

Thanks

pbsvc. that one did the job for me. instal is the same. and run pbsetup to check if there are new versions

Now if all that does not work

1.goto my computer c:programfiles/Electronic Arts/Battlefield 2142/

Click on tools folderoptions/view in there clickm on show hidden files folders

Now when that goes back too Battlefield2142 folder find a file called radial.cdb when you find it delete it

Thius file gets corrupted and it does not allow BF2142 to run propperly

when delete it you will be good to go

that file invovles loading errors as far as i know no pb errors but can be worth a try

PB Issue

Guys - tried the advice above but keep getting the blank punkbuster screen when trying to join certain servers.

Any ideas?

It looks like akind that comes up when punkbuster hasnt been updated, and a new patch just recently came out. You need to manually update punkbuster.
Instructions to do this is on this Forum/Thread.
