Re: Cannot connect to any servers!
Do you get some kind of error message?
Make sure bf2.exe and pr.exe are allowed in your firewall. |

Re: Cannot connect to any servers!
Before you go online to join a server
you should: 1. Download pbsvc 2. Start pbsvc installer, you should see options for install, uninstall, test. 3. Run the Uninstaller 4. Restart your computer. 5. reinstall punk buster files with pbsvc( if your using Vista DO NOT set compatibility to XP, run as admin ok) 6. After pcsvc installs, click the "test" option to check the punk buster install you just did. 5. Make sure it comes back "all green" 6.Download pbsetup(pbsvc DOES NOT install pbsetup. If your using Vista DO NOT set compatibility to XP, run as admin ok) 7.Create a pbsvc installer shortcut AND pbsetup program shortcut on your desktop. 8.Run pbsetup (from the shortcut on your desktop) add BF2 to the games list, then hit update." (pbsvc installs the punk buster 'engines' or applications. PBsetup installs the files/gas the 'engines run) It is recommended that you restart your system after you install/uninstall programs to ensure all installed components, files and registry entries are correctly installed or removed. Many have posted just reinstalling with pbsvc And updating pb with pbsetup, Didn't fix their CTD ,"handshaking failed" or "Losing Key Packets" pb issues In till they restarted before reinstalling The key here Is use pbsvc if your having problems. Make sure your firewall has permission for: BF2.EXE PBSETUP.EXE (search for your location) PNKBSTRA.EXE path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\PNKBSTRA.EXE or (not 100% sure but for 32 bit O/S I think it's)C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW32\PNKBSTRA.EXE PnkBstrB.exe path: "C:\Users\"your user name here"\AppData\Roaming\PnkBstrB.exe" you said: And im running trend micro, i cant allow items in the firewall trend micro is anti virus isn't it ? You might want to think about changing firewalls |

You must be able to adjust the firewall Perhaps you don't see the firewall 'PROMPTS'. Quote:
Good luck | |

Re: Cannot connect to any servers!
Give us a brief history before and after problem started.
Please describe when your CTD or problem hits. Does the problem go away if you turn off your firewall? Perhaps you need to make a new profile(rule set) for your firewall? You must be able to adjust the firewall, you just need to find out how. I don't have any experience with trend micro, so I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck |
