I have spent a lot of time on this issue and have failed miserably. The problem is not game specific, however for me it applies to battlefield 2142. I have read many different posts in my Google and Yahoo search and it seems to effect many punk buster protected games.
The problem
After I load a server and start playing (about 30-60 sec in) I get punkbuster kick saying "PnkbstrB.exe heartbeat stopped". There was a server (soc Camp Gib) that I did not have this problem and I was cool with that as there a good bunch of guys and I frequented that server often anyway. I gave the game a break for a month or so and yesterday I tryed playing and I got another punkbuster kick this time "Key packets lost". I tryed a mix of other servers and If it wasn't one it was the other.
What I have tryed
I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, fail
I uninstalled punkbuster and reinstalled, fail
Updated punkbuster and ran diagnostic tool , fail
at server start I changed pb's priority to above normal, fail
I turned off firewall(s)(witch is not safe), fail
I started my pc with all secrety software disabled, fail
I wrote punkbuster a very nasty letter, felt a lil better but, fail
If I can not resolve this issue properly I will resort to hacker tools and fake punkbuster reporting, but that is likely to get me banned from all severs and possibly ban on my cdkey. I have enough trouble with being banned on supposition of Hacks(I am just good)anyway.
Any fix proper or not would be appreciated. As it stands I cant play anyway.
