PB Handshaking

[-=]CL[=-Spike]

When ever I join a server it kicks me off when it is done loading and says PB handshaking failure. I have updated PB and reinstalled BF2. What can I do?

get out of the game and try again, sometimes works.
I have the same problem too but with PR; some times i can even get in the server and i get the 'you have been kicked as result of kick vote or admin decision' and i even get in the server

Things to try:
1. Run pbsetup to do a manual update.
2. Repatch and then do pbsetup.
3. Shut down the computer after 1. and/or 2. and do a hard boot.
It's happened to me as well. Sometimes it's the server that is having the problem. Try other servers.
