Hi
For the first time in a long time I enjoyed a few good games of PR at the
TG server last weekend. When I tried to play again today, I ran into problems.
After I loaded the game, at or shortly after initial spawn, the game crashes in one way or another. After switching a little bit back between vanilla
BF2, Forgotten Hope and Project Reality it appears this problem halfway went a way, and I finally could walk into a Forgotten Hope map. For 35 seconds or so, and then I get kicked because PnkbstrB.exe heartbeat has stopped.
In the process of starting up Project Reality or Forgotten Hope I am often interrupted by irritating dialog boxes from Norton asking me if I want to allow
BF2 (some module, often a temp file) access to the interweb. I answer "allow" every single time but it is not impossible I might have done wrong at some point here and answered "block". However I cannot see this in Norton Internet SEcurity, but in the logfile I see that Norton killed Pnkbstr and this and that Punkbuster related process at some point jsut when my game crashes.
Anyone familiar with this problem and knows about solutions? I looked at evenbalance.com but couldn't find anything really useful. (The only solution I can think of right now is ditch Vista 32, install XP and try again without Norton - but I do hope something a little less drastic is possible.)
