0 timmins Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 ok well i never had that problem, but i heard this helps... may be hastlesome though... uninstall and reinstall the game altogether, take off the newest patches and all when you delete it... and if that doesn't work im sorry for wasting your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes just restarting game helps with that kind of error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Thomas Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 turning firewall off is a dumb idea and ive restarted the game /computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Administrators JoeDirt Posted September 25, 2009 Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2009 turning firewall off is a dumb idea and ive restarted the game /computer make sure PnkBstrA.exe is added to the firewall exceptions, when you get that error click start click run type services.msc click ok, look for PnkBstrA service restart the service, if you have any additional firewalls make sure to add the exception there as well.

0 WickedStick Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Try updating punkbuster, and i think i have been having the same problem on BF2 once, i fixed it by running the game as admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hobbit Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 turning firewall off is a dumb idea and ive restarted the game /computer Firewall does help create lag while gaming so for the time you spend gaming it should be off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gunslinger6-2 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Just a quick one, are you using the pb setup? which will patch PB for all your PB games or are you doing a manual update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Administrators daredevil Posted November 14, 2009 Administrators Share Posted November 14, 2009 Follow this: http://fearless-assassins.com/tuts/t-37-how-to-update-punkbuster/ http://fearless-assassins.com/tuts/t-14-fix-pnkbstra-exe-pnkbstrb-exe/ Disable firewall while playing online games. Most of the new advanced firewall softwares do that itself. And you don't have million dollar account on your PC that someone will hack you. More or less your router + modem also has built in firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
