XP Pb probelm! Heartbeats stopped

ironcheese123 · 08-10-2009, 07:14 PM

I know i am not the only one that has had problems with PunkBuster
I get an error that says pnkbstr.exe Heartbeats stopped and i have seen questions asked but no answers
I also think this is linked to my lag issues

Open your Control Panel. Go to Administrative Services. Click on Services while PR is running. Select Punkbuster B, right click, select properties, select the recovery tab and make sure they all say "Restart the service" for all three dropdowns. You can do the same for PB A, but generally speaking, it's the B client that stops responding. Any time you update PB, you may need to re-do this step.
