    Hi, I sort of gave up on battlefield 2142 for the past few months, but I decided I might as well give it another shot so I downloaded the latest patch and I keep getting kicked by punkbuster, all I get is the following message:

    PUNKBUSTERMESSAGE.png

    Then it returns me to the server menu, with a small window that just says Punkbuster and no reason as to why it kicked me :confused:

    Any ideas?

    Are you TITICACA? :)

    Have you tried manually updating punkbuster?

    Grab pbweb.exe (If its still called that) from the punkbuster website and manually update it following the instructions on the site.

    Also running hax sometimes gives that message so if you are turn them off.

    We are aware of several players who are getting kicked for Losing Key Packets with an error code ffff0001 or ffff0002 after the v1.701 PB Client update released yesterday. There seems to be some misinformation being posted on various websites and forums in reference to the new PunkBuster services called PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB. These are NOT optional. If these are disabled or stopped or blocked by the user or anti-virus or Internet security software, updated PunkBuster servers will remove you from the game for Losing Key Packets. Users of some versions of McAfee Security Center are reporting that these PB components are getting automatically added to the "block" list.
    If this happens on your machine, you will need to remove them from the list in order to continue using PunkBuster. Players who have manually disabled or stopped PnkBstrA based on instructions from some other website may need to run our PBSVC program to uninstall and reinstall in order to continue playing on PB enabled servers.
