BF2 Server disconnects.

[Gamer_T]

Hi guys.

Having recently installed BF2 and fully patched up and also updating Punkbuster, when I enter a game I instantly get kicked.

I know Punkbuster is usually the main cause for this, but if I've already updated, what else could it be?

Cheers

If you are on vista/7 try run as administrator

 

[Gamer_T]

Tried that. It gets past the loading screen now but just closes to desktop soon after. Forgot how much EA suck. Time to uninstall.

Did you manualy update pb with pbsetup or did you copy paste the .htm files?

I usualy get this when i install but after running pb setup a few times it usualy works.

You may be getting an kick based on Pb incorrectly thinking certain installed drivers/running applications are Hacks/illegal 3rd party apps.

Disable all Your applications that you don't need running, for example, xfire, stuff like that.

After 1.5 i had this issue and have had to defeat it a couple of time since due to updating to windows 7 twice

So this should really get it sorted

open C:UsersYOURNAME/Documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/Default/audio.con

then edit it to read as below

AudioSettings.setVoipEnabled 0
AudioSettings.setVoipPlaybackVolume 0
AudioSettings.setVoipCaptureVolume 0
AudioSettings.setVoipCaptureThreshold 0
AudioSettings.setVoipBoostEnabled 0
AudioSettings.setVoipUsePushToTalk 0
AudioSettings.setProvider "software"
AudioSettings.setSoundQuality "High"
AudioSettings.setEffectsVolume 1
AudioSettings.setMusicVolume 0.33
AudioSettings.setHelpVoiceVolume 1
AudioSettings.setEnglishOnlyVoices 0
AudioSettings.setEnableEAX 0

do the same to any other profiles you have in there as well

Then right click the shortcut / compatibility and tick "Disable desktop composition" and "Run this program as an administrator"

Even now i still have a CTD if i try to click the audio button in settings but at least it works
