    You do a google for it?

    Looks like you need to manually update PB and then shut down all of your apps while playing.

    Something about your end is getting bogged down with information and is unable to update in a timely manner.

    Re: pb heartbeat problems

    dude already tried that....

    first thing i did along with deleting everything and reinstalling everything TWICE!!! but as you can see sometimes it works and i get several hours of gaming in and then other timers it doesn't.....

    i have tried it with out my firewall on (which i don't like) and i have tried it with out my virus software running (which i don't like) i have booted just the bare minimums and it hasn't worked??? any suggestions other than forming a class action lawsuit against PB for infringing on my rights to to kill digitally enhanced army people and terrorists

    Have you checked your router?

    I ended up having to replace mine.

    You've probably tried everything in this, but I'll post a link anyways: http://www.punksbusted.com/forums/in...howtopic=55862 (instructions in second post)

    Something else to consider: When you enter the game (you don't have to enter a server), do you see in the Task Manager a program called PnkBstrB.exe running?

    Do you have a software firewall running? Some examples of software firewalls would be any AV Internet Security products, BlackICE, ZoneAlarm, Windows Firewall, etc. If so, make sure that PnkBstrB.exe is in the "allowed" list.

    Still looking though and I will post anything else I find.

    ***EDIT***

    Found this. Follow the link in the last step.
