Just googled it, few reports from it affecting BF2142, BF21, COD 5 and a couple others. Seem's its something to do with older versions of fraps. Disable fraps or upgrade to a newer version.

Re: Disconnections-PB Issues-Read Me

Oh? Cheers for that.

Reinstalled BF2142 to no avail last night, but after restarting my PC it worked fine, but now you come to mention it I didn't switch on Fraps after the restart so that'll be why it worked that time.

How annoying is that? Weird how it would suddenly stop working like that. Well at least I know the solution for when I get home tonight, cheers again.

Punkbuster, ya gotta love it, eh?

Re: Disconnections-PB Issues-Read Me

Should maybe put up a brief news post or something about this just so it is easy to find as lately I've seen a lot of people have connection problems when trying to join a server, I think it's probable that a lot of people are falling foul of this.

Re: Disconnections-PB Issues-Read Me

Bah. This has been happening to me all day today, Worst time for it, too.

Every time I join -any- server. I can stay in it for perhaps 2-3 minutes before getting my rear smacked right back to the Server screen with the mood-smashing "You have been kicked from the server by punkbuster".

I don't get it! I had no unnecessary programs running, PB is updated and I ran PBscv like,  5 times! And it -still- does it. It's really annoying and I'd like to be able to play during the community game day sad

Re: Disconnections-PB Issues-Read Me

Are you on Vista and is UAC on? There are two PB services, pbA and pbB both need to be set to run as administrator. Start a game, join a server then alt tab out and bring up task managar to find the two services and go from there. That shoud sort it.
