Battlefield 2 problems

[waffelz]

Yo dudes,

I just saw that BF2 has got a new patch with many new maps so I wanted to start playing it again.
Now, the problems.

I installed everything fine, logged in with my old account (that I haven't used for a year) I went to my stats and I'm a private --'. I was a staff sargant :( My stats were all gone. How could that happen?

The second problem:
I can play on a server for like 4 minutes and then I get kicked by PunkBuster.

"PUNKBUSTER EROR
You have been disconnected by Punkbuster. The reason follows in English below.

PUNKBUSTER ERROR MESSAGE
Punkbuster kicked player 'aisboy' (for 0 minutes) ...
RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnKBstrB.exe
heartbeats stopped."

I searched on the internet, what I've found was to allow PBB.exe in your firewall, but it is allowed by Windows Firewall ... (I'm only using Avira Antivir).
And I manually updated PunkBuster.

If someone could help me out, I will be glad!

Cheers

I really got no idea :( Tried to ask for support at EA?

Reinstall Punkbuster.

The problem is that the game can't find one particular windows process, PnkBsterB.exe. There's also PnkBsterA.exe, both should be running in the task manager before you launch the game. If it isn't, then thats the problem

The same thing happens for COD4 if you kill the process before starting the game.

So yeah, I'd reccomend you reinstall punkbuster from their site

Hope this works or at least helps?

Meh, doesn't work GP.

I think I'll need to contact EA :(

Well it is for sure a problem with PnkBstrB.exe

 

[waffelz]

Yeps, aargh I hate PunkBuster --'

 

[waffelz]

Okay I fixed it...

I just turned of Windows Firewall, even though I had enabled PB A & B... Weird

Anyone up for some BF2? xD

You're playing WoW atm, lol. I copied it from my old PC (cracked), but now the text is fucked because of the missing registry files D:
