...And so are the developers.
Like many other gamers I have been burdened with this piece of software hiding in my games and banning me from servers for cheats that I never even knew existed..... Every time it happens I simply thought... it must be something wrong with my PC, internet connection or O/S!
But over the past years I have been through about 6 or 7 completely different machines, accessed the internet all over the place.... and EVERY SINGLE TIME punkbuster has always caused bullshit problems.
The final straw is trying to play BF2 on my brand new laptop and getting bullshit like: "Inadequate O/S priveleges"
Which means I have to manually go to the bf2.exe, set it to windows XP SP2 mode, select run as administrator, start the game up and then get a completely different error message 3 minutes into joining any server. Once this fails to work, you should then go and update punkbuster itself manually.... But don't worry, it will still find a reason to kick you out of your favourite games just as you are starting having fun!!
I can not think of a time where it has not caused problems. I keep forgetting why I always stop playing BF2 or BF2142. Then I remember it's been mostly unplayable and uninstall it... and so the cycle continues..............
Even though I corrected the initial problem, it seems that it's programed to make excuses just to ****ing kick me out of the game! Now everyone has to go out of their way to download some 500mb patch then manually update punkbuster being incompompetent wankstain it is.
Punkbuster (and to everyone who developed it and made it the brilliant, blunderous, rubbish bit of code it is): F*CK YOU!!!!!
Back 'in the day' we would come home and play our games online (on our shitty 56k modems) when we wanted to, and it would work (no one complained about lag because that was all we knew! ^_^) without being banned from everything for no reason.
