    this punkbuster thing in BF2142 keeps on kicking me from games...

    I may solve the problem by downloading the latest patch. but are there any other helpful opinions. I dont cheat or anything (i dont know how). Ill just join a server and 3 seconds later Ill be kicked.

    your not using the widescreen command in the shortcut are you? This may cause a problem. Just a suggestion.

    hehe...well you must not be if you don't know what I'm talking about. It's a command you add at the end of the shortcut command line that allows you to play at custom resolutions. I'm pretty sure this can be identified by PB as a cheat.

    update your PB?
    I had the exact same problem where I couldn't play for more than 1 minute. Supposedly PB was updated...used that updater and got the latest version and didn't get kicked out no more.

    the server updater is for those that own the servers.
