SF "verifying client" problem

[old.Molotok]

I am playing SF, and after loading the process of "verifying client data" after loading taking unbelievably long time - about 3-5 minutes when i finally hit "join game" in 16 people game it can even be too late :cry:
in "classsic" BF2 everything is ok - 10 seconds or so...
I have Pentium-D 3 GHz, 2 GB Ram, Radeon X800 GTO 256 Mb video and SATA Hard Drive... I tried several tricks posted on this forum, like renaming BF2.exe, manually updating Punk Buster etc - nothing helped...

Can this problem be solved somehow?

I've also noticed that the Client Verification thingy takes a lot longer on SF than vBF2.

On my system, Verification takes only 2 seconds in BF2, while in SF it's closer to 15..
