a fix for the punkbuster problem

[TheGeekLord Profile]

i posted to the even balance support ticket system and got this reply:

Note #2: Please get the PB service component installer PBSVC from this URL:
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Save it to your desktop. Start the tool and run through the uninstall process. After that, run it again and run through the install process. Make sure it uninstalls/installs correctly. Reboot the computer and then try playing again.

Please make sure you allow the service files in security software like virus scanners and/or firewalls. You will need to allow/unblock the services PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe from your "C:\Windows\system32\" folder. In case of doubt, manually add both to your firewall's allow list. After the installation process you will only find PnkBstrA, so just make sure this process file is not blocked. Then try playing on a PB enabled server, in case of a kick, check if PnkBstrB was created and unblock it too.

Hello,

i'm having problems with the new pb release. I keep getting the well known "Service Communication Failure" error when i try to connect to a server. I tried to install pbsvc.exe but that doesn't even run on windows ME, so i'm kinda lost.

Thnx in advance

Note #2: Please copy the following (test) file into your "pb" directory:

http://web1.evenbalance.com/downloads/et/pbcl.dll

Then join a Punkbuster enabled server and see if you get kicked again.

this worked for my machine with windows ME, hope it helps y'all too
