Every now and then I get a pb error, although not specifically your error here, but I try the pb updater to make sure the game is up to date.  Also look at your windows services and double check to make sure punkbuster is enabled and running and was not inadvertently disabled.

Have you tried installing the pb service?  This is different than the updater.

Did any of that work PDizzle?    I had the same problem awhile back and it was my firewall causing the problem.

 

FireWalls

 

If you are getting kicked and you have a firewall, the firewall may be blocking PnkBstrA.exe and / or PnkBstrB.exe. Make sure your firewall is not blocking either of these.

This is a communication failure between PB a and PB b.Run the pbsvc.exe and use the "test" feature.If it says that one of the services is not running then go to msconfig under services and make sure these services are set to auto start,also make sure they are added exceptions in your firewall settings.

Not sure if this will help or not but when I was having trouble, I had to update by hand.   click HERE for updates.     

 

What version of windows are you running and do you use a router?   computer.gif
