----------------------------------

Tests finished.

 

 

Also when I join the game recently I get the following message on the game screen:

 

Punkbuster Server: Corruption or Mismatch PB Server Files [FE32]

 

I have tried to manually install / update PB also.

 

Can you help? :unsure:

Yes I have done this already several times and still no success.

 

I have completely turned off antivirus and ensured that windows firewall has enabled exceptions for Punkbstr.

 

And yes it is on Vista.

Next step I would like you to try.

 

Go into your game's install folder, and re-name your pb folder to pb_old. Don't delete it, just re-name it.

 

Create a new folder named pb(case-sensitive).

 

Download the pbsetup.exe file from www.evenbalance.com and slide it into this new pb folder, and run it. Effectively, this creates all brand-new pb files, while keeping your old ones as a back-up, in case you might need to revert(simple re-name folder process).

 

Then try and connect to the game.

 

From your logs, it would appear the PnkBstrK drivers are not loading for some reason, and this is most often the fix for the issue.

Thank you! The combination of these two enabled me to play again. I have no idea how this happened (?) but I am grateful for your help!

 

Take Care and thanks again!
