Enjoy. I have had nothing but trouble with Punkbuster today. I keep trying to join servers and I keep getting kicked by punkbuster for "Ignoring Queries". I have tried re-downloading punkbuster multiple times and have tried clearing my browser cache and other assorted things and I still keep getting this error. As far as I am concerned, all punkbuster seems to do is to keep honest gamers from playing their games. I have never seen punkbuster actually stop a hacker and it is really pissing me off. Punkbuster can DIAF and EABD for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still getting that error no matter what I do. I have a day off from school and want to play but Punkbuster is being a little bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really shouldn't fucking have to. Punkbuster just needs to fucking die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this you then reinstall PB and then update it afterwards. The install does NOT update the version with the latest thats available. This work around fixed the ..."0" minute disallowed Driver kick from PB.. Hope you get some relief. As far as steam goes all I can offer is that its steam LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
