    Random Disconnects

    Hey all, just wondering if any of you have any problems with random disconnects. In 2142, I get dropped from the server randomly. My connection does not drop, because I can stay connected to TS. And I know I am not lagging out because I have a consistent ping of 25-50. Sometimes I drop from the server after 20 minutes, sometimes it is not for 2 hours. It is totally random, and really annoying especially since I am a SL 99.9% of the time.

    Anyone have any thoughts on what it might be?

    Is this only on the TG servers? You might be being kicked for a reserved SM slot. What's the message when you get disconnected?

    I know what you are thinking, and thanks for reminding me that I did not put that in there.

    No, it is not me getting kicked for supporting members. I forgot to put that. It is on any server that I play on. And when I get out to the menu, the punkbuster message box comes up, but there is nothing in it. No text, and it is just blank.

    This happens to me once in a blue moon. Anyway, I believe the fix for this is to uninstall Punkbuster, restart computer, reinstall the latest version of the client, then manually update it for BF2142. Finally, make sure PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB are both allowed programs on your firewall.

    Yeah, PunkBuster problems are pretty common place. If you do a search for Punkbuster on these forums, you'll find a lot of hits.
