Kilroy's thread was a help for me. Although a clunky fix, it lets me play. The 'duct tape' fix is described at http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-...tml#post669841
To use the fix and play both BF2 and PR (or any other mod or extra I suppose). I have to go back to the mod file and swap between the BF2 and PR shader_client. No, that doesn't help you actually complete the fix, you need to read Kilroy's post for more detail. Also-for those uninterested in the rest of Kilroy0097's thread and other fix options, the bit that worked for me is pasted here: --- Are you gettings a shaders_client.zip mismatch error? There is an easy duct tape fix for this. It may or may not work for you. To do this fix do the following: 1. Delete the cache data folder for PR. You can find this folder usually by going to C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache\ and deleting whatever folder is there. This will force re-optimization for the game when you load into a map again. 2. Make a backup of the following file by renaming the file adding .bak to the end of it. C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\shaders_client.zip 3. Then COPY C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\shaders_client.zip to the previous folder in Step 2. 4. Restart Game and the problem may be solved. --- |

Punkbuster Problems
Punkbuster can cause problems for a huge range of reasons. If you have certain programs installed punkbuster will kick you for using them. If you get any message that says ""disallowed program/drive", google the error code number or message and that will be a good indication of telling you whats wrong. A (mostly) foolproof way to fix your pb issues that aren't related to having disallowed external programs is below: ### [/quote] Quote:

If you happen to be getting the following error on BF2 v1.5 and PR:
![]() Then please place the following file in your root battlefield 2 folder: (ie: C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2) http://realitymodfiles.com/ancient/RendDX9x2_1-5.zip Note, this will only help people who are getting errors on that specific file. ----------------------- If you get a similar issue on BF2 v1.5 and PR, but the file is instead vtuneapi.dll, download the following file and place it in the same directory as above: http://realitymodfiles.com/ancient/vtuneapi_1-5.zip |

I, too, am having the pnkbstrB heartbeat problem. I have tried everything that has been suggested and then some, and have yet to find a solution. Even playing with firewall and all antivirus off doesn't help. Reinstalling doesn't help. Updating doesn't help. I get approximately 75 seconds of playtime and then am dumped back to the server browser with the aforementioned kick message.

When i started playing PR my game would lagg out and then get a punk buster kick for one of sevral warnings... the first what is Quoted above.. the 2nd loosing key packets, 3. pnkbstrB.exe initalization Failed. 4communication faulure pnkbstrB.exe and thats it ... thats a substancial amount of warnings if i would say so my self ^_^ .... it COULD deffinatly be the issue that PR or Punkbuster is non compatable to Windows 7 .. even though i ran them through compatability mode :P...... i feel sorta in a hole at the moment trying to pick away at trying to get the programs working correctly... One thing i pick up on is During my Quest was .... when i install pnkbstr svc .. when it goes through the checklist saying .. PnkbstrB.exe and A.exe exceptionaly allowed it says in blue writing . NO .. from what i have seen it is suposed to say YES .. so im debaiting copying a PnkbstrA.exe and B.exe .Dll file into the system32 folder.. by running everything through the system 32 folder i am not sure if it will all communicate correctly... so i am still testing it out. Right now i am feeling like i am In big trouble getting Punkbuster working right.. i Might just Install a 2nd OS (XP) Back in to my computer and split the harddrive so when ever i wanna play PR all i have to do is Switch to XP mode and play ...then switch back to 7 mode when i am doing everthing else...... ( Ghetto rigged to its max) SO if anyone has windows 7 and has project reality working correctly please send me a message and respond to this issue ![]() | |

Well I'm also having the same problems as most of you are, I get the
" Restriction: Disallowed Program/Driver (125083)" I installed the latest punkbuster, i have no problem playing BF2, it's only on PR, and i really wanna play this mod, it looks amazing but i get kicked within a minute, i have no idea what can be causing this problem, i checked my firewall and it's on allow BF2, Im running windows 7 Ultimate x64, has anyone found a solution to this problem, or may have some helpful info that might lead up to a solution please message me... |

Punkbuster is kicking you for having Steam overlay(shift+tab) most likely. Could also be some other program that is running "on top" of Battlefield. There is no way of actually finding out what 125083 means since punkbuster aren't sharing their error codes with anyone. I am guessing you haven't been kicked before because the server you have played on before haven't had punkbuster enabled
On steam, go to file > settings > ingame tab > untick enable steam community in-game. |

I often get kicked for "Punkbuster heartbeat stopped".
Usually it happens like this: Loading map. Joining the game - no lag at all so far. Selecting spawnpoint and spawning -> Extreme Lag!! 1-2 minutes! picture freezes nearly -> Menu Screen with warning "kicked because of PB heartbeat stopped". Joining server again and then working fine - lag again when spawning but no kick usually. When is PB sending the clientinfo (or when I am "checked" by the server if my PB is running correctly)? Is there a way to send that info before spawning? Looks like this "kick" is somehow connected to my system being too much loading PR stuff while spawning and sending my PB info? |
