From Wikipedia: [quote] PunkBuster does not allow Windows users without administrative accounts to connect to any games. Upon connecting to a game, the user will be immediately kicked for having insufficient OS privileges. Starting with PB client v1.700, a Windows service with full administrative rights is used in complement with the ingame PunkBuster client, allowing updates without user rights elevation. However, some games might still require administrative rights before PunkBuster will function correctly. [/quote]
Are you an administrator on your computer?
I think PunkBuster is, and always has been Garbage software. While Anti-cheat initiatives have always been required, publishers who choose to go with that software will always get a scowl from me.
