Post by weedancer »

Hey i recently got a copy of Soldier of Fortune 2 and trying to update punkbuster from evenbalance.com i put it in the pb/htm folder and still i get kicked from servers for it not being up to date?

run the Pb updater.. you can run it anywhere , you just select the game and it finds the default directory and then updates you. thats it.

ohh ok yeah you need to set it to run as administrator.... Vista is really screwy with programs and how they run. Same thing happened to me when I loaded ultimate I had to go in and set punkbuster or the game to run as admin, Hell I even went after that and unchecked everything at once cause I was tired of the damn popups. They only help people that don't know any better to better protect them.

well you have to set it to run as Admin since it enables data transfer in and out as it will when you try to do anything like that.
