Punkbuster problems

[Felandese]

I join a server in BFBC2 and i don't get to even get out of the loading screen a box pops up and says "You have beeen kicked from the game. The reason is: Punkbuster kicked player 'Felandese' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Server Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe. i've tried everything you guys have said in this topic but none of it has prevailed so if you can help me please do

You took my advice and started your own topic. That is a good thing. How-ever, you do need to provide some detail as well.

 

Operating system? Vista or Windows 7? Which version? Have you right-clicked and run in compatibility mode along with checking always run as administrator?

 

Have you allowed your firewall to allow both pnkbstra.exe and pnkbstrb.exe to pass through and connect?

 

Have you updated your punkbuster files with the pbsetup.exe? Also, is your game patched to the latest version?

 

We're here to help, for sure, but we will only be able to work with the information you provide. We can help better, and more often, if we have more details to work with.

Operating system? Vista. Which version? i don't know how to find out, not very handy with computers. Have you right-clicked and run in compatibility mode along with checking always run as administrator? yes

 

Have you allowed your firewall to allow both pnkbstra.exe and pnkbstrb.exe to pass through and connect? yes

 

Have you updated your punkbuster files with the pbsetup.exe? Also, is your game patched to the latest version?

the pbsetup will only allow me to update my games, so yes i have updated BFBC2 but i can't update punkbuster with it

Looks like you're missing a part of the punkbuster files. (I had the same problem)

 

This should fix your problem: http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

It'll detect the path for your pb installation by itself and will run the checks after.

 

next time please open a new topic ;)

 

Post back if you got it to work
