He might have to go to punk buster and download the updates. That will probably solve his problem.

Thanks T/A6pak,i'll forward him here to the forums for these links..



And see if they resolve his problems..



I know he bought the gold edition and he had problems loading it,then loaded the patch,and continued loading the game and it works but the pb thing keeps plagueing him.



Well see...

As I recall, I've only seen pb kick for loss of packet flow when the player's internet connection has been lost. In other words, if I were playing in a server, and unplugged my ethernet cable, everyone else would see my character get kicked for loss of packet flow very shortly.

Of course, anything that interrupted or corrupted his/her internet connection to the server for more than, say, 30 seconds would also do this. Say, if he were running something else on his computer while he/she was gaming that also used ethernet or devices shared with ethernet inside of his/her computer.

The other players can look and see that his/her ping would be 999 just before the loss of packet kick occurs.

Oh, and as for the Gold edition.. shortly after it shipped, they realized it had the wrong pb, it has the pb update that should go only into a server. But, it was fixed with a later patch (a server-side patch to ignore the players with the gold edition having the wrong pb, if I recall correctly).

Steel ,Thank you so much for your in put .I will copy and forward this info asap.The issue with the incorrect pb server side troubles me, that may be his problem.



Last night I kept an eye on his ping,seemed to be consistently around 54 no higher than75,or 80.

He has opt online connection much faster than my DSL.And i never have the problems he's been talking about.



He also tells me he lags on all maps not just Rhinevalley.From time to time i lag on the valley, but all maps somethings up.He tells me his character will run or walk a bit then suddenly it freezes and then continues to move,then boom pb kick..



I'll pass on the info and see what happens ,Thanks again.
