Hi,
I have a common issue which is disconnecting from a game server due to PB service communication failure; initialization failed.
I have updated my PB manually (PBSVC.exe and PBSetup) successfully. I also took Windows Firewall off which was a risky move that I won't perform again for good. Last but not least, I have downloaded a few files (.htm and .dll) from Even Balance Inc. The issue occurred unfortunately.
I'm using Windows Vista, maybe this is the main issue. Anyhow, this issue can be fixed some way or another. Waiting for help and responses.
