    Hey Guys

    Been playing BC2 online and having a few issues...

    First off was getting almost instant dc from Punkbuster that appears to have gone now

    now getting quite frequent dc's where it says the interenet connection has dc'd where i know that it is 100% solid.

    Other times justr crashes to desktop

    performance in the game if fine no issues great frames all maxed out

    any known fixes for these issues ?

    If you have the PB issue I suggest going to www.evenbalance.com and download the latest PB SetUP. It worked for me and I got no problems wth PB dc'c anymore. As to the "Lost connections" I think it just a problem with BFBC2 software wise rather than hardware. I know my Internet is 100% connected, though I get from time to time dc's. I suggest waiting for new patches/ updates, that the only thing we can do right now. ;]

    BTW: Does your friends list work?

    As a3r0x suggested, the manual updating of PB solves it for most. Game is a tad unreliable for some, how often do you get disconnected? EA are still working on the servers but it's not perfect for everyone.

    As for crashing, I get it rarely and I've no idea what I could do, just deal with it is all you can do I guess.

    crash to desktop is quite rare, happened only couple of times

    dumped from game from punkbuster was an issue until i updated manually.

    The problem that is really eating me is being thrown out of games being told my net is down...when i know its solid as a rock. Im hoping this is an issue EA are aware of. I suppose i get chucked once every half hour or so. but it varies so cant be specific.

    Shame as its a great game
