Ghost_Rain,

Punkbuster causes the most trouble for people who installed the BFBC2 beta.
1. Did you ever install the beta?
2. Regarding that other server that worked well without a problem for you, I wonder if it has Punkbuster switched off. Do you know?

[DougBob]

I know this is probably a redundant question and you've done it already, but you did reboot after the PB update!

BF BC2 beta should be uninstalled from computer before BF BC2 retail game instalation

Done all this

[FieryDragon]

Open up your old BF game and update PB there. Worked for me when NOTHING ELSE WOULD!

[Ghost_Rain]

fixed the problem now uninstalled PB and re download BFBC 2 on my steam account and its not fixed the problem

[Queen B]

I did all that and I get kicked from the server because of punkbuster all the time. =P I can't get back and sometimes when I try my game crashes

This advice is from early March, but if you're a new player, it might still be helpful. Please post whether this helps or not. If you're still getting kicked, is there an error message? Good luck!

How To Fix Punkbuster kicks for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (BFBC2) on Steam
If you are playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 on PC through Steam, you may be getting kicked by Punkbuster after a few seconds anytime you join an online game. This is most likely due to a conflict with Punkbuster and the BFBC2 Beta installation on your PC.

To fix this:
1. Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common
2. Delete the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta folder, which includes Punkbuster
3. Go to Punkbuster's website and get PBSetup - http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
4. Launch the program
5. Once launched, click add game
6. Select BFBC2
7. Browse to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\battlefield
8. Click OK and then click Check for Updates.

Punkbuster will now initiate a download for the BC2 Punkbuster client.

UPDATE: You may also need to remove the BFBC2 Beta folder from "My Documents" as well before this will work properly.

NOTE: Do not let Punkbuster run in it's default destination. It is set up to go to the BFBC2 Beta folder instead of the correct BFBC2 release version folder.

Some good games tonight. But there were a couple of the problems with people locking squads. Is that a server setting you can turn off, Cain?
