HI all..
Haven't played COD2 in about a year and it seems I keep getting kicked out of your server for a cvar_fix_0 problem...
I have no idea what this is... can someone please tell me what I need to do to get it set right??
Much appreciated ...

Hi FlashGirl, did you update your COD2? They had a patch awhile back.
http://callofduty.filefront.com/file/Call_...v12_Patch;60359 I think I had to update my punkbuster as well. Maybe try the patch first.

A common pb kick in cod2 is for cvar fx_sort 0. This cvar set to 0 shows smoke thinner, therefore is considered by our pb settings as a cheat.
If that's it, then go to your C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\main\players\your-player-name folder
Open the file named config_mp.cfg with your favorite text editor (plain old notepad is okay, just isn't very pretty).
Modify this:
seta fx_sort "0"
to this:
seta fx_sort "1"
save and exit the file.
You can also do this as a console command by going into a game, bringing down your console with shift-~ and typing
/seta fx_sort "1"
Oh, and if this is it, then updating your punkbuster will not fix it, as this is a personal setting in your config_mp.cfg file and not in any punkbuster upgrade alone. (sorry 6pak)
