wattz Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 are you using avast ? 1. Open Avast 2. Click real time shields 3. Click File system shields 4. Click Expert Settings 5. Add the following lines in Exclusions C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstra.exe C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstrb.exe C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstrb.xtr C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstrb.ex0 6. Click Ok and try it. copy and paste from a evenbalance ticket " You are being kicked for a "Communication Failure" thus it is likely that something on your computer is preventing the PnkBstr services from communicating with each other. A common cause for this is a security or anti-virus program. McAfee and other popular security/firewall programs need to be told to allow the PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB services to run without restriction (even if you turn them off while playing; the service files are located in "C:\Windows\System32" or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\"). Until you locate and remove the restrictions on PnkBstrA and B, you will continue to be kicked for this. DO NOT remove those files! E.g. if you are using a software firewall you will need to unblock/allow them. Also make sure you don't run the game in a compatibility mode. If you've never manually installed the PunkBuster services, you might want to try that as well. Download the service installer from http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe and run it. You might also want to reinstall the services using this tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
