do i need anything special for this? i keep getting kicked for '4FC' or somethin ~_~ was playin single player again and it was easier this time due to the freshness of sleep :) but yes.

do you have the punkbuster checked on your game? Do that , make sure you have a current upgrade. It normally upgrades itself but once in a while there is a problem with it. We also had a teamspeak failure last night.

almost sounds to me like your fire wall is active against the game? Or maybe it's the punkbuster block is not ticked in your settings? I know someone already mentioned that but hey have another look C. Can't hurt.

hmm good point, anyone know the port/ports i need to forward? where is this punkbuster block? i can get into the game, and i have a 25ish ping so its not a problem with actually connecting, im in there long enough to click which pack i want and right before i click done to spawn the game freezes and then it goes back to the main menu and gives me that lil message window.

RahX , man I am so glad you got that taken care of last night ,, please post what you did to overcome the problem. It may be helpful for others. Great gamming with ya again brother!!!!!

if you use a program called Process Guard, punkbuster wont even let you look at online play. you have to completely uninstall it. and yes, i shutdown every pg process taht was running too. it sucks because pg is a great program for anti-spyware/viruses. it allows you control over what runs and what said program can do when it runs.

oh and one more thing too while im thinking about it. im running windows 2000 and i havent had any problems playing bf2 since i solved the punkbuster issue.

do you have a firewall, because you might have to let it access the internet

[RahX]

i dont have any problems now. the whole deal was punkbuster didnt like a program to be on my comptuer at all. once i got it all straightened out its been good.
