New guy with Punkbuster problems
Hi Folks!
I'm new here and really appreciate the knowledge and insight from all of the members! My problem is one I've had for a couple years and have not been able to fix. It's the "Punkbuster OS system error" prompt I get when trying to play any BF game on multiplayer! I've tried everything, but I'm not the most computer savy person around. Right now, I'm thinking of just installing a new hard drive and starting from scratch! Is there a simple fix for this? I doubt there is since I brought the computer to two shops asking them to fix the prob and they can't! Maybe they (probably) don't have the skills that some of the fine members here! I would really appreciate your help! |

go there... make sure you have the new update, usually it automatically updates but sometimes it doesnt so the version wont match w/ the server thus... not letting you play. lol thats how it was in americas army when i didnt have autoupdate.

No real work arounds.
Go to the support crew and explain. Be willing to back up everything (they've been lied to often). Do some reading here : http://www.punksbusted.com/forums/in...?showforum=124

Thanks for the help, guys!
I've decided to buy a new hard drive and start from scratch. If it still doesn't work, I'll go nuts! Thanks again! |

just curious... but how is a new hard drive going to help anything? what if its something to do w/ computer specs? or the auto update doesnt work so you have an old version of the Punkbuster... firewall blocking stuff? norton blocked punkbuster, i had to unblock it from the programs.

Well, believe it or not, the new hard drive fixed everything! I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I started with a clean slate! Now I can play my BF games which pisses off the wife since nothing gets done. LOL!

spartan, in a way I'm with you, but I think the new harddrive most likely helped because it meant he reinstalled all the software, and potentially the file that was causing the problem was not reinstalled.
