    Alright, when I tried to get on the TG server today I got this:



    Any help resolving it? I'm about to test it a few more times. I already reinstalled PB.

    I got that once. A simple restart helps

    I keep getting the same problem with Bf2, never had it with 2142.
    A restart of the game usually fixes it for one gaming session, but not in the long run. Not for bf2, anyway.

    I've been reinstalling and it's doing the trick, it tends to come back though.

    I might can help. i got this problem yesterday night and i tried several thinks out. but at least you simply have to update your punkbuster. some times it seems like it got some problems with the auto update so you need to update in by yourself. give a second i search out that link you need...


    alright i got it

    http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

    this should help. just follow the instructions and everything will be fine soon.

    yes, in a nutshell to fix the problem, delete your pb folder and download pbclient and install it.

    heh, I still get that problem, but for BF2, even with the latest solution (deleted and reinstalled the folder about 4 times now).

    Any ideas?
