Re: Punkbuster

Make sure your anti-virus is not blocking punkbuster, also check windows firewall.

Punkbuster has 2 services running in the background in order to check your PC for hacks or 3rd party programs influencing the game.

They are called:

PnkbstraA

In order to enable both do:

1. Press Windows button and R at the same time

2. enter "Services.msc"

3. Locate PnkBstraA on the list

4. Mark both and select "Start the service" on the left side.

4B. If already running restart it.

Too bad nothing works. Lmao. Everything everyone has suggested here doesn't work for me at all. Anti virus isn't blocking it, No Global ban, Firewall isn't blocking it. I've tried everything and it doesn't work because Instead of using just Battleeye and Fairfight, An increasingly outdated, poorly coded Anti cheat has to be used.
I almost want my money back.
