Need Help! (Punkbuster)

**Option hunter** · 06-08-09, 03:44 PM

I didn't see my Problem in the Issues sticky, so im going to make a Thread about it.

I Keep getting Kicked by punkbuster. The Error i get is "Punkbuster initialization Failed"

I Restarted my computer like I normally do when i get a punkbuster issue, but that didn't help.

And, It was working just fine last night. I don't know What could have changed.

Can anyone help me with this?

Try updating or reinstalling PB.

Sauso had a problem with PB that turned out to be related to his security settings. Perhaps he has some ideas for you.

And how did you fix it? Knowledge is power and can be a shining light to someone who may have an issue in the future

I Manually Shut down both Punkbuster A and B (Ctrl, Alt, Delete -> Processes-> End Process) Then Started PR Back up, And rejoined the server. got a Corrupt package flow the first time, but the second time it worked fine.

I get kicked for Punk B heartbeat stop or handshaking... But all I do is type: pb_sleep 500
in console. Then it works itself out since joining lag sucks and slows everything down...
