yeah its a pb kick, its a pain, but check your internet usage, you may have gone over thhe download limit and have been capped to 64k. wait till the company resets your useage and its all good.

its not an admin thing.

An easier way to go about updating punkbuster is to use this little beastie which automatically updates any and all of your punkbuster files for any games which use punkbuster.

For those who would like a direct link to the program in question, click here for Windows, here for Mac OSX, and here for the Linux version(s) respectively.

Further, "missing key packets" probably means, simply put, that a computer between you and the punkbuster server is fouling up and failing to deliver some of the little chunks of data that make up the files punkbuster needs to update in-game. It doesn't necessarily mean there's an issue with your computer: it could be any machine on the route between you and the PB server.

my mate has the prob to and has updated everything you can think of, he has narrowed it down the the fact he has gone over his monthly downloads.
