had the game all day and not got more than 30 seconds play everything updated including PB, complete waste of fooking time

Godz, try the following mate:

1> Download the latest PBSETUP v3.4.
2> Find the PB folder in your BC2 installation dir and delete everything inside of it....leaving an empty PB folder
3> Run PBSETUP, add BC2 to the list of games, check for update, it will download the latest PB files
4> Make sure both the PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe service have access to the internet (check your firewall settings).
5> Make sure the following ports are open for BC2:

:: 18390 TCP Outgoing
:: 18395 TCP Outgoing
:: 18395 UDP Outgoing
:: 13505 TCP Outgoing
:: 80 TCP Outgoing

...see how you get on.

From my experience of PB with FC1, its best to manually delete all PB files when new ones are available as PB sometimes keeps old files and this could (only guessing) cause some issues with handshaking and how PB interacts with the game and servers.

tried everything but cant login to try argggg

Yeah, was on a server just with Qwert and we all got kicked, EA Master Server has died again.

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

...they where back up within 5 minutes though ;)

ok i have give up im still getting kicked. i wont play for a while i get a new PC at the end of the week so i wont bother trying it again till then

it seems to be a serverside issue, not clientside.

In the serverbrowser just filter on "R5", this should give you servers who wont kick you.

Yup, servers are running older version of PB, hence server-client mismatch equals kick.

Some servers have "R5" in their name, otherwise go for ones without PB on.

Yup its def the servers EAForums said admins had to reset there servers etc.

And on another note THIS GAME IS AWSOME! any of u nublets that havent bought it yet i would recommend you do so!
