    I just bought battlefield 2 on steam for $5 because it was on sale, and i was excited because i hadn't played this game in ages.

    Problem is, whenever i join a server, i get kicked in 30 seconds by punkbuster

    Punkbuster says i'm running some sort of program/driver (can't exactly remember what it said because now it won't even start) but it sound like a probolem with the Nvidia driver or something.

    Im not hacking, nor have i ever hacked any game (on this :p)

    Help!

    This is caused by the steam overlay, you have to disable it (lame, I know). Right click BF2 in steam > properties > uncheck "enable in game steam" or whatever and you will stop getting kicked. I bought the game today because of the sale and was getting the same problem on my desktop.

    I had the same problem when I first got my m11x, very annoying.
