BF2142 Punkbuster problems...

[TBSN]

Every time I join a server I can play for a few minutes, but then I get disconnected to the multiplayer menu with a box that says punkbuster.

I updated punkbuster and ran the test that is included in the Punkbuster Service Setup program. I have no idea why I keep getting kicked. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts...

did you disable the service?

 

[TBSN]

no, i don't think so. am I supposed to do that?

 

[TBSN]

well I've tried everything I could find on the EA support site, still doesn't work. I just sent and error ticket to evenbalance, hopefully they will know whats up...

I have had that same problem with punkbuster. Your ready to start a map and you get kicked for no reason. I usually ALT-TAB out to make sure Punkbuster has not caused a Windows error message then I go back into the game and rejoin that server I got kicked from and I am usually good the rest of the night.

The link below is to the support forum for TotalBF2142 they have some great info on how to fix some of the quirks of 2142 and it's all from fellow 2142 players.
