I'm having the same issue, and it appears to be widespread. I think it's just the fact that their servers are being absolutely hammered at this time. They've been having connection issues since launch.

They can just patch in some new servers that work. Easy!

Is it a PB issue? Try going to evenbalance.com and updating it. Happened to a friend of mine.. but I was ok without the update.

Yeah it really does sound like punk busters, this sort of thing used to happen to me all the time in CoD4.

When I boot up games that run PB , including CoD4 when I use to play that, getting kicked every 5 minutes was usually a result of PB. You actually have to manually update it now these days, bit annoying I guess. Try it and it may fix your problems. Does for me.

Wierd, I havn tbeen kicked in about 2 hours of online games for BC2.

For COD:WAW I had to update Punkbuster manually to get it to work (got kicked every few mins before I updated it).

I think that the server that tracks ranks and unlocks is just getting overwhelmed. Even if you do manage it stayon for a while, it takes like 15-30 minutes for items you unlocked to "appear" and half the time your progression tracking is devoid of any data.

I also had to stay up pretty late so the traffic was lower.... During prime-time I was getting tossed IF I could find a server with which to connect.

No, this particular issue *is not* Punkbuster related.

It's account-related, and it seems only certain accounts are affected (I'm one of them.) They're working on it.

None of my unlocks are working either, and when I *am* able to get in-game, text chat does not work. It's something they did overnight, because everything was working for me yesterday.

Yeah, it has to do with servers not receiving your unlocks/stats. Find a server that works and stick with it.

Yeah some rounds I do really bad, then others I do fairly well. It's a combination of practice and getting better unlocks. Starting weapons kinda blow compared to what you get later on. Obviously.

if it is a PB issue, and you use steam, it is likely the steam ingame overlay issue, PB sees it as a 3rd party intrution program, yry disable the ingame overlay fhrough the steam options, and see if you still get booted.

Could be a Punkbuster issue, you can try doing a manual update of the PB client files for BFBC2.

PBSETUP.exe punkbuster is notorious for not updating itself for years.
