plz help

shootermg,

Have you altered your files in anyway?

The first problem may be as Stryker posted.
Altered files will cause you to be kicked, but I believe the message would be different.

Another possibility is that you PB is not updating.
Follow this link and download and install the latest version.

The third option would be to play on servers where PB is no enabled.
Just be warned that if PB isn't enabled, there is a good chance players there will be playing with altered files and cheats.

Hope the update works!!

Thx guys,will try what u told

Also if you are using the no-CD patch you will be kicked as well.

It might be easier to try this: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

Just download the tool, install and point the PB updater to your R6V2 folder and it should do everything automatically!

Another reason you may be getting PB intit failures is that your firewall is blocking access to the PB master server.

I know that there were also problems after the last PB update (about a month ago) with Avira AV detecting the PnkBstrK.sys as a virus (false positive). I had all sorts of fun trying to prevent my CoD4 clan members getting kicked from our server with packet loss or PB init faliures...

If all else fails you can download the PB installer/uninstaller, uninstall your existing PB setup and install a fresh one. The link for the PBSVC.exe is here: http://www.evenbalance.com/ind...hp?page=pbsvcfaq.php

This program will uninstall ALL PB services on your machine, but it has the bonus that you can check that all services are working properly when you re-install. You may have to update the client for all your PB dependent games afterwoods.

Hope this helps....
