Thank God you guys are back:)

well evenbalance completely ceased replying, and the prob is still persisting. That is bad, but i'm thinking that the ping might be causing something that is in turn being misinterpreted in some way and so doing giving this error, that is just my guess(i've got nothing else to think of)

i was thinking, since it's only on servers that i get a high ping, could it be that whenever my ping goes up above a certain number that something is triggered and or i get kicked for taht something being triggered(almost like a "HIGH PING" kick) i know it's not the PB reason, but ping is the only difference between local and non-local servers, so what is triggered when my ping goes up?!:/

well i've run out of idea of what it can be and what could be causing this, but i'm out of any ideas.

no, it did not work. still getting the same issue!

Support ticket update from evenbalance! QUOTE: Note #9: Please close ALL running programs on your computer and then join a Punkbuster enabled server to see if you still get kicked. If you're not kicked at this point, it means that one of the previously closed programs is causing the kick. Therefore we need to find out which program that is. This can be accomplished by starting each (previously closed) program one by one. If the kick returns we now know which program is causing it. It is recommended to close the game first before starting individual programs. To save time you can also start several programs at once (say 2 or 3 programs) to speed up the search. Please let me know the results, thanks QUOTE END i haven't tried it yet, but will today or tomorrow!

No, i haven't. I would say it's been long enough time for them to reply, but still they haven't:'( I'm lost and out of ideas.

but why only on overseas servers?:/

that is weird then, because i went into task manager before and i closed all Logitech processes and it still kicked me

currently no joystick, mouse=G5, keyboard=G15. i uninstalled my keyboard software and it didnt' work, and i only get kicked from US servers but not local ones... so it should be something else?! anyway, i checked to see what version of Restriction our server is running, and it's running "pv_sv_restrictions 1"

yes, i did that just now, it didn't work.

yeap i did what he asked but it was a fail, so i'll just have to wait.. Thanks, if he says something again, i'll post it here.

okay, thanks... i'll keep on waiting, as it's all i can do:/ but what could be a possible cause i mean, one sort of server kicks but the other one doesn't?

Thanks for the reply:) this is the reply i got from the support ticket* ___02/05/2009 16:20:21 - "Hendrik Thole"Note #3: Could you please look if you have any of the following files on your computer using the Windows Search functionality (from the Start menu, search for files or folders): Specific files MGSysCtrl.exe MGKBHook.dll tlntwucl.dll mciawmsp.dll eSDLoader.exe MSNCHATHOOK.dll Openwide.exe Specific programs Tlen.pl Instant messaging program OrbitDownloader System Control Manager cfishlman.exe (part of CFi ShellToys) Shedko sShutdown Please report in a new note if you have any of the above files. In addition run a full spyware/malware/virus scan on your system. ---- well i have no idea what version of pv_sv_restrictions 1 (or 2) the servers are running, but i tried a few different clan's servers and they were all US server and they all kicked me. Evenbalance hasn't replied for 10days more than 10, so i doubt they will cause i sent them another one yesterday and nothing. I have no idea what is wrong, but i'm sure why i only get kicked from overseas servers but i just made sure again and i'm still able to play on local ones.

what do you mean?:)

Hi, I have a problem with BattleField2. So i'll explain my situation... I live in New Zealand and for some strange reason i can play on all Local servers, on all of them, but when i try to play on overseas servers like ones in the USA, i get kicked and a message saying "Restriction: Disallowed Program/Driver [125057]". Now i know for a fact that it can't be a ping issue, for ONE - i've been playing on those servers for more than a year, SECOND - i own one of them(a server in the US) and have been playing there for long time too and the ping kick limit is set to 400. The other games i play online are "CoD5 and CoD4 and BF2142" and i haven't been kicked from them even ONCE. even now still. So what i don't get is, if it's a program on my pc that is causeing it, then why not with all of the games? Just for info sake, 1) i am USING Windows7 and yes i know evenbalance doesn't support BETA OS, and i'm not expert at it, but even i can tell that it's obviously not a problem with PB and WIN7... or i would have had teh same prob with all my games, right? 2) Yes, i have the logitech G15 keyboard with it's software installed and i got the G5 mouse, but i unintalled the software already and it didn't work 3) i uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 and it still did it, i allowed PB through my Firewall with no change. BF2 works on local servers(NO KICKS) but it doesn't work on US SERVERS(overseas) and i get the message "disallowed progr..." I can run Call of Duty 5-WaW; Call of Duty 4-MW; BattleField2142, without any problems, without any kicks from Punkbuster, but in battlefield2 i get kicked from all overseas servers. SO please, i have opened a ticket at evenbalance about it, and i recieved ONE reply more than a week ago... and they didn't help much. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks, Curmet EDIT: btw, i have deleted PB completely and reinstalled it. including deleting the one in BF2 and it didn't work.
