Hi,

I'm having same problem I get kicked from servers and it advises to update at punkbuster website. So far I've done the below:

1. Turned off firewall (using comodo)
2. Uninstalled and re-installed punkbuster using that link to FAQ (plus manually added the files from punkbustersite http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-hos.php)
3. Deleted all pb folders in the game directory and in users and then re-installed (+ manually added files)
4. Above did not work tried deleting folders and using steam to verify game cache (+manually added files)

I've also done all the above without manually adding the files this does not work either.

Though when I download the PBsetup from here http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-hos.php it starts I agree but I'm getting the following error http://i40.tinypic.com/34gu45k.png I've changed the permissions in my user folder and googled for a solution but this does not work either. I'm also running as admin.

In the punkbuster set up can select the game directory in steam where its save but the drop down does not show any games.

Can someone please help, I hope I've missed something obvious :D

Ransoms

^ Im getting the same problems as above user.
this is really stupid and all of a sudden have this dumb punk buster problem when never had it before.
this is dumb.

Seriously this is a kind of annoying. Can we just get this problem fixed?
It's happening very frequently. I'm not going to vouch for this game to anyone if it has all sorts of problems like this that go neglected.

the only thing that seems to work, and only works SOMETIMES is re-installing punkbuster which is such a pain to do every single time I try to get on. Like seriously?
