I noticed I had this today too but I fixed it with this:
Quote:
If this does not work try the following steps:
1. Download pbsvc
2. Start pbsvc installer, you should see options for install, uninstall, test.
3. Run the Uninstaller
4. Restart your computer.
5. Start pbsvc installer again, this time choose install.
6. After pcsvc installs, click the "test" option to check the punk buster install you just did.
5. Make sure it comes back "all green"
6. Create a pbsvc installer shortcut AND pbsvc program shortcut on your desktop.
7. Run pbsvc the program (shortcut on your desktop) add BF2 to the games list, then hit update.
It was from this thread, http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-...ions-here.html. Even though this part was under the handshaking, this solution helped me.

Yeah, I was confused at that part so I just created a shortcut from this:
PunkBuster Online Countermeasures
and then I put that on the desktop.

This all has been going on for far too long. I have been dealing with this on and off for for a month now, and I had tried every solution in the book. The most frustrating thing, besides it coming and going right when I'm in the peak of a itch to play, is that I don't know what is causing it or who else is experiencing it. Its random, from what I can tell. Thats all I want answered. That and maybe a little more attention to these problems that are keeping hundreds of people from playing this game.

I swear to god if one more person tells me to run pbsvc..

Sorry for the confusion it should read:
Create a pbsvc installer shortcut AND pbsetup program shortcut on your desktop.

The original post has been updated.

Before you go online to join a server
you should:

1. Download pbsvc
2. Start pbsvc installer, you should see options for install, uninstall, test.
3. Run the Uninstaller
4. Restart your computer.
5. reinstall punk buster files with pbsvc( if your using Vista DO NOT set compatibility to XP, run as admin ok)
6. After pcsvc installs, click the "test" option to check the punk buster install you just did.
5. Make sure it comes back "all green"
6.Download pbsetup(pbsvc DOES NOT install pbsetup.)
7.Create a pbsvc installer shortcut AND pbsetup program shortcut on your desktop.
8.Run pbsetup (from the shortcut on your desktop) add BF2 to the games list, then hit update."

(pbsvc installs the punk buster 'engines' or applications.
PBsetup installs the files/gas the 'engines run)


It is recommended that you restart your system after you install/uninstall programs
to ensure all installed components, files and registry entries are correctly installed or removed.
Many have posted just reinstalling with pbsvc
And updating pb with pbsetup,
Didn't fix their CTD ,"handshaking failed" or "Losing Key Packets" pb issues
In till they restarted before reinstalling

This is likely more of a Vista issue
because Vista was released after bf2
so pb is playing catch up with Vista.
That is why you're asked to first uninstall pb
The pb bf2 installs is an older version than doesn't work
well with Vista. Now It may be the older version works just fine with XP I don't know.
I do know I haven't read on PBs web site xp users don't need to upgrade.
But when you think about it It seams likely PB would want to develop one version that works for both.
The key here Is use pbsvc if your having problems.

Make sure your firewall has permission for:

PBSETUP.EXE
(search for your location)

PNKBSTRA.EXE
path:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\PNKBSTRA.EXE
or (not 100% sure but for 32 bit O/S I think it's)C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW32\PNKBSTRA.EXE
PnkBstrB.exe
path:
"C:\Users\"your user name here"\AppData\Roaming\PnkBstrB.exe"


I had a few 'handshaking and 'Corrupted Packet Flow' errors after installing v8.

Running pbsvc worked for me

Hope this help

I'm finding my firewall drops the ball once in awhile anyway giving me a 'handshaking error' again.
For some reason clicking on a different server then quitting out lets me reconnect without error to the server I originally wanted.

I just took 2 hours ( i watched a movie meanwhile ) trying to get on a server. But everytime i connect, i get the Corrupted Packet Flow kick. Reinstalling pb, updating PB, stopping PnKbstA/B.... al DO NOT help.

The only server i can get it without any problems is Battleforce Training.
