I want to play multiplayer, and the game loads the map, then as soon as it starts I keep getting this message:

[Doro]

Stupid Punkbuster

i also get kicked from BF2142 occasionally with Punkbuster(which isnt installed at the moment)

[Sergeant Lyeman]

well, after I quit, I started playing again and it worked fine. Don't know what the problem was, though.

[Solar]

a communication error stopped punkbuster from determining if you were a legitimate player with no cheats installed etc etc and so it kicked you out.

[Doktor von Wer]

Indeed, Punkbuster is the cheat detector, and it's not built in, it's a separate process from BF2.exe...

If it is not running or punkbuster cannot be connected to by a server running it (basically all servers) then it'll reject you or kick you immediately/nearly immediately.

And you has BF2 too Kyle? Yayz we can play when I get my new PC (it sucks on this old one).

Afraid I wont be on much anymore, school starts soon and I'll be working right after school  :'(
