Punk Buster continuously disconnecting me.

[Slothypossum]

Hi, I've recently downloaded the game and my only real issue is that ever 10 to 20 minutes I get disconnected because Punkbuster is putting me on timeout for 0 minutes claiming I'm like trying to update Punkbuster during or something--I'm not really sure.

Anyway, I've seen that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The game gives you a very specific text error after a kick explaining why you were kicked.
Since it's so easy to duplicate ( takes 10-20 mins as you stated ) could you log in and find out what the error was, exactly, word for word.

Alright, sorry for the time lapse, I went to bed a little after I'd posted that. Anyway, I logged on a little while ago and after 14 minutes I was disconnected. I took a screenshot of the message that says:

ERROR / Disconnected

You were kicked by Punkbuster for the following reason:

"PunkBuster kicked player 'PennyB' (for 0 minutes) ... Time Out trying to Update PB Client"

^(end)

That has appeared every single time I've tried playing the game.

Same problem going on with me too. Why does PunkBuster be hatin? :/

Because you have it blocked in your firewall or an antivirus program is not allowing it to update. Like it says in the error message.

[Slothypossum]

Then how do I unblock it because there's no reason it should be blocked.

Bump because I really actually want to like this game but it's hard to play it if I'm disconnected so frequenty.

There's a solution if you scroll down. This worked for me, back when I had this issue:

Thanks, I'll look at it and get come back with my results.

I did a few of those steps--got rid of Punkbuster and let the game update it and I played for about a half an hour straight with no problems and I haven't had any yet so for now I think it worked but I'll be back if it doesn't. Thanks for your assistance.
