PB + bf 1942 + win7

So one of my clanmates installed his game again today. After some time on the server he gets kicked with following message:

4XtBzwd.jpg


He already dowloaded the pb folder and replaced it with the one that got installed.

I don´t know any solution by heart and I´m to lazy to search on the internet so i thought i ask here.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Zody!

He should run bf1942 as an administrator (right click on bf1942 icon and in the options, search for "run as administrator") and save it.
+ set winxp sp3 comaptible setting also.

+ if this is not working, he should check his firewall options and search for pnkbstra.exe  and pnkbstrb.exe and allow both.

Thanks for your answer but it doesn´t work. Any other idea?

We tried the Moongamers solutions and they didn´t work for him. He has the latest pb version. No firewall enabled.

Something is blocking PnkBstrA.exe outgoing connection from his computer, probaly a firewall or an antivirus. He has to configure it to allow access to PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe.

His firewall isn´t enabled. Is it possible that his router blocks it?

Yep, download pbsvc.exe. It will test PunkBuster services and you may reinstall PunkBuster from there.
Check if Windows' built-in firewall is blocking PnkBstrA.exe.

Re: PB + bf 1942 + win7

SO we fixed the pb problem and tried to use your widescreen fix tuia. When i try to move the crack into the directory it asks if i want to create a shortcut on the desktop. That means i cant replace the original one with the crack. Even when i removed the original it asked if i want to create a shortcut when i moved the crack into it.

Changing the video settings ingame will change the appearence of the text. I think mainly the chosen ingame resolution affects this.

What are the two resolutions? Game UI was designed for 800x600 resolution, font in some resolutions looks bad.
What widescreen fix does is to allow to pick any supported resolution from Video menu and not stretch image for resolutions with aspect ratio different than 4:3.
