| | Problems With Punkbuster I cant play online games with punkbuster on it. For instance, when I play the Battlefield 2142 Online Demo, I cant join servers with punkbuster on it but I can join servers without punkbuster. The same with Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. Is there anyway to fix punkbuster? |

Is there anyway to fix punkbuster? Well, I can join a server with punkbuster on it, but it says I was kicked by punkbuster a few seconds after I join |

| | Re: Problems With Punkbuster It will not work until Vista has been RTM. I have the same problem when trying to play America's Army, it tells me I have an OS violation. I contacted punkbuster and they said when Vista was finalized then it would be supported.

| | Re: Problems With Punkbuster Punkbuster itself needs to be updated to work with Windows Vista. There's nothing in the RTM version of Windows Vista that will fix existing versions of Punkbuster. -- Chuck Walbourn SDE, Game Technology Group This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |

| | RE: Problems With Punkbuster Info from the America's Army forum: i am running the 32 bit version of vista and have had no problems with 2.7 i know a person who installed the 64 bit version and kept getting kicked by pb he then installed the 32 bit version of vista and has been playing all day with 2.7 with no problem. Hope this helps... "Keeep Out" wrote: > I cant play online games with punkbuster on it.

| | RE: Problems With Punkbuster Right click on the shortcut and choose "Run as Administrator". There's also an option in the shortcut somewhere to make this permanent.

| | Re: Problems With Punkbuster i can play wolfenstein on a 64bit rtm.... it plays on most servers and on some servers i get kicked for punkbuster... the only problem i have is with the graphic quality...i don't know if its because of glass or because the graphic drivers are still beta but they were much better for me wether in previous builds or in winXP. gerald "Chuck Walbourn [MSFT]" <chuckw@online.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:45424902$1@news.microsoft.com... > Note: These are issues only Even Balance can fix.
