PB Handshaking

(otherwise you have to re-download it)
- install the pb-service via pbsvc.exe and
- update via pbsetup.exe

This is working for me and lots of others.
If you run Vista this only applies if you managed to grant PB admin rights.
cheers

I did it once, but some servers keeps kicking me with PB error...
Doing it again now.

I must always start PR at least 2 times to get rid of this problem. No other BF2 mod has the same problem. Can it be related to PR exe?

Well, I just had a PB handshake error in vBF2 yesterday so it's not a PR problem.

I don't have a pbsvc.exe, usually the PB security file disappears and it seemed that it was linked somehow, but it's still there and I just got the bug...

Well I am getting high number of "handshaking failures". I'm really at my wits end here with PB. In the last 5 games I've tried to join in 2 days I've been rejected about 4. *sigh* maybe I can get 1 game in today...or maybe not. Fix your s..t PB this is getting old.

Look at the third quote down in Fuzz's first post, all needed files explained and sourced.

I have to do what his second post says every time before I play PR.
