Patched my game; THERE WAS AN ERROR LISTENING ON A SOCKET... WFT?!

[Afghani_BattleDonkey]

I patched the game and played for a good hour.

Now I try to log in to my account, it says

" There was an error listening on a socket..."

NEVER ever heard of anything remotely like that.


Anyone care to enlighten me?

[GRyDLOCK]

Same here ... I just got it. Anyone else had this problem?

[NoSoup4You]

Make sure your firewall and router are setup to allow the game to play though. Most will detect a changed version of the program, so you may have to re-allow it.

I also had to reinstall my punkbuster which seemed to help my prob.

[chj214]

Yeah I got that problem and I found if you run a registry checker then it will work for about 10 goes but now the message keeps poppin back up!

[FightinAggie]

I have that problem too does anyone know how to fix it?

[mafia_boy]

got it too and it wont log me in at all? help, gotta be a the patch, will check firewall but i think its configured

[-(PK)-DarkIllusion]

since the patch modified bf2, some firewalls (should anywyaz..) block it untill allowed. set your firewall to re-allow bf2.

Hey ya i got the problem also

How do i Reinstall my PunkBuster??
And the firewall wasn't the problem

[mafia_boy]

just reallowed the bf2.exe in my firewall internet apps and it worked!, nothing to do with punkbuster at all, just try and update your pbsetup if you havnt already?
