12 years agowhen launching the game (joining a server) i get kicked by punkbuster and it says it is because of some communication error with PnkBstrA.exe (full message:ERROR Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Ze_Holy_Bacon' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe) and i have been at punkbusters website and tried as they suggested; making sure that it ain't blocked in my firewall, and tried to go to c:\\windows\SysWOW64 and tried to find PnkBstrA.exe and then check the box allowing it to run as admin every time... but the "funny" part is i couldn't find any file named PnkBstrA.exe but i did find 2 files named PnkbstrB.(something) that i then checked said box... and the punkbuster site mentioned that the PnkBstrA.exe's function was to install/run PnkBstrB... so i thought that may be it, but it still don't work... on a sidenote, when installing any new game using punkbuster it says something about it cant install a file that is already installed and then just refuses to continue with the installation and the game won't run if you haven't installed THAT exact punkbuster... so i have to uninstall punkbuster before it will proceed, and that is pretty damn annoying... something must be able to fix that, maybe someone with punkbuster or EA might be able to look into that... :]
