Re: what does this punk buster note mean?

It means either pnkbstrA.exe isn't running or isn't being allowed through by your firewall. Not sure about a fix though.

Re: what does this punk buster note mean?

The following should help:
Make sure you have the following installed/tested:

http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Once installed go ahead and start Battlefield 2 then alt+tab. Now open your task manager and you should see PnkBstrA.exe running as SYSTEM

Also to be safe, make sure in your antivirus and firewall application that PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe are set to have full access in/out tcp/udp, etc. and excluded from your antivirus (exception) if you are still having problems after giving it full access through your firewall.


These can be found at:
C:\Windows\System32\PnkBstrA.exe
C:\Windows\System32\PnkBstrB.exe
or
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\PnkBstrA.exe
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\PnkBstrB.exe

Logs can be found at:
C:\Windows\System32\PnkBstrA.log
C:\Windows\System32\PnkBstrB.log

what alex said. My friend was getting a similar problem, he just had to restart the service to get it working properly again. Also, try updating punkbuster manually just in case. These sort of things usually end up sorting themselves out somehow. That's how punkbuster rolls =/

Re: what does this punk buster note mean?

You can check by joining a server, alt-tabbing out and checking process manager (under ctrl+alt+delete) to see whether it is operational. If it is, then it's a firewall issue.

Yes, not necessarily, but more than likely.

Re: what does this punk buster note mean?

Most PB issues are fixed by deleting ALL the files the installer creates & re-installing. Over zealous Firewalls are also a definate problem - Add Punk Buster/.exe to the Allow list.

All other issue post about, apart from what sounds like Vista issue, let move on to Win 7.

Please.

I had this same issue and fixed it by downloading "punkbusterc" from here http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Yep, I had that problem a few times and just redownloaded the PB. Worked great afterwards
