Many of you visiting the website right now are probably wondering why the heck you're all getting kicked from Battlefield 2 Servers. There's a very simple solution to your problem... Update your Punkbuster!<br><br>Head over to <a href="http://www.evenbalance.com/">www.evenbalance.com</a> and download the file name pbweb.exe for Battlefield 2. Place it in your <i>pb</i> folder located in your install directory, then run it. Simple as that, within minutes your version will be up to date and you can head back onto the battlefield.<br><br><b>Update:</b> Apparently after testing on a few servers, I noticed that only a few servers seemed to have worked. What you will notice if you are affected is that everyone on the list will appear as dead, that's a sign that you will most likely get kicked within 30 seconds.<br><br>The cause is still unknown, but is being investigated by EA as we speak. We will post an update as soon as more details are available. In the mean time, try some non-pb servers.<br><br><b>Update 2:</b> Punkbuster has posted an update on <a href="http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=support-bf2.php">their site</a>: "Due to a glitch on our master servers, many players are getting kicked this evening for violations #81104-81107 in error. Admins should ignore these violations. The problem has been corrected at the masters and PB servers will stop kicking for these violations as their local caches are updated over the next few minutes." Good news for all!
Yup use to do this in 1942 all the time

Can someone who got their punkbuster working properly, post a link to download it from? A working copy that is...

Why should we have to go download something for this? This should be automatically downloaded in game. Atleast that was the original idea of punkbuster I thought.

This is my first post, so first of all i'll say hi everbody.
Second, this sucks, but i think it may be better to wait and see what happens, it probably won't take them that long to fix this problem anyways.:confused:

Don't you just love PB? You'd think they could start making releases that don't end up getting people booted from servers after having been in existence for so long. Unfortunately people get kicked from most PB games from whatever bugs PB has, or for it failing to auto-update.
Here's to a good anti-cheat company choice EA! Cheers!

UPDATE
Friday 10.21.2005 [6:45PM]
Due to a glitch on our master servers, many players are getting kicked this evening for violations #81104-81107 in error. Admins should ignore these violations. The problem has been corrected at the masters and PB servers will stop kicking for these violations as their local caches are updated over the next few minutes.
