Keep getting punkbuster kicked for corrupted memory

Inazuma · 13 Sep 2009 at 12:26

Hey everyone,
Trying to play Call of Duty 4 and WAW. COD4 was fine... until I installed WAW it seems. I get kicked for "Restriction: Corrupted Memory" within the first few minutes of joining a game (usually within a min). As far as I know, my RAM is fine; I get no errors anywhere else.

Im running Windows 7 RC 7100 64bit.

Is PB trying to write to a file and doesn't have sufficient access? Try running it as admin and see if that makes a difference

As Pea0n said set your games to have admin right so they can change there files or update them as they need

Yep I've tried updating PB with pbsetup.exe (it updated fine, but I still get kicked), and also tried setting the cod exes to admin rights.

Edit: Sorted the problem

I had to close Fraps - it also sorted out my mouse lag issue!

I sometimes get errors like this in Cod 4, but only when I'm running Fraps, and it doesn't seem to do it again after I exit Fraps.

Try exiting Fraps if you were running it the time it happened.

whenever i run frapps before starting a game, the game crashes, if i run it after the game is launched, no problem. weird program
