I have posted my problem here, as it is my last resort, after spending two days trying to solve the problem without success.
My COD2 is installed on vista (Ultimatre, 32), and used to work fine. I haven't played it for a few months, and decided to again a couple of days ago, but I get kicked either immediately, or within a minute of joining any server.
The message that appears is simply:
Served disconnected - Icaru506
PunkBuster kicked player
There are no other error messages.
I've searched the forums high and low, and everytime anyone else reports a kick, it says for X minutes, or states a more specific code. Mine however doesn't !
I have uninstalled COD2 twice and reinstalled completely (Removing activision folder completetly each time after conventional uninstall)
I have updated to latest PB client.
I am running COD2 as an administrator.
I have checked that my GUID is not on the banned list for any reason
I have tried disabling my Firewall
I have tried disabling my Anti-virus
Yet the problem persists.
JFYO, my GUID is : f2c2d88c8ed47b2156903409c0a26d81
Typical ping would be 40-60
I tried using condump in the console to get my text, but it didn't seem to write the file (Probably Vista !!)
I have used the pb_plist, and it says I am authenticated, it reports no violations, and all OK configurations, and the console reports sucessful starting of Punkbuster.
The only message in the console when I am kicked is :
PunkBuster Client: Not connected to a server.
My Internet connection is fine.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in anticipation,
Steve.
