Punkbuster

[Q Dog]

Punkbuster is kicking my from everygame for no reason, what do I do to stop this?

[®omano]

There should be a reason, an error code, a message, something. No magic here, can't help.

not enough information, find this log file pbcl.log
C:\Users\********\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\HOS\pb\pbcl.log
open this log file with notepad to see why your kicked.

I had this problem, manually updated pb and rebooted and it was fine.

I suggest not playing punkbuster servers. Depopulate any server utilizing punkbuster. It is a massive POS. VAC BAN is good enough. At some point around the 600 hour mark of in-game time I started getting punkbuster issues. I have attempted EVERY resolution probably two dozen times. Nothing works. Punkbuster B randomly disapears, not only does it stop running, it acts as though it was never installed. Seriously ♥♥♥♥ punkbuster it's a massive pile of ♥♥♥♥.

[ARGH!!]

Punkbusters a turd and considering Rising Storm's arcadey it isn't as needed as some other games.

Regarding the fact most people don't have problems with PB (On my 200 people friendlist, I had maybe 5 people I had to help with PB...) you may consider the problem is on your side... just my 2 cents...
