Bit odd your server browser being broken, you should look into fixing that... But I put in the server address just for you, do you feel special?

The link to the BattleRecorder downloads page, for servers where BR is enabled, is useful. Nice work.

Yeah, don't wanna get any more PM's asking me for the link of the New Era Servers BR anymore :P

I have the Steam version of BF2, no servers show up in the server browser. I've tried launching BF2 from the retail launcher,clearing my internet cache, disabling anti-virus, using scripts, and running PR and Mumble 1.0 as administrator. I have no problems with launching the vBF2 server browser, as well the server browsers for other BF2 mods. Right now this doesn't pose too much of a problem for me any more, as I can connect to IP and I can still have a full list of servers displayed from my favourites tab. However, it'd be great a dev can solve this problem, it'll save me from having to always check which servers are populated on PR SPY.

I think there was a RED solution in support section

Currently there is no way to resolve this trouble, because it can be managed only by Even Balance.

Even after contact with their support technician about six months ago they did nothing to improve situation. We're still awaiting for the answer or global update from EB.

This bug persist since latest PunkBuster client update 2.306 and now present on any BF2 server with latest client updates - no matter which OS/settings/mod you are using.

Shall we wait considering that delay between releases of pbcl 2.306 and pbsv 1.800 was almost 18 months

We need to start a partition

Oh is that the reason why I have to double connect? Thought it was just me.

Is there any way to force pr.exe connect 2 times if client logged?(if shortcut\bat\script with login+pass used)

If it's possible, PR will be the only mod which don't have troubles with 2nd connect, "Join Server" button in PRSPY, and 1.0 version number - could be used as advertisement to get new players

Oh Rhino and his spell check ;p

Anyway, nothing can be done about joining the server until either evenbalance issue a fix (unlikely), or 1.0 releases where we can do some fixing ourselves.

Equally as useful is clicking on the server logo to go to that servers webpage. But that only works if servers have their settings set up right, which I told them to, but some still haven't yet
