Try to update your punkbuster

choose PBsetup.

Is this with all servers with PB enabled? or just 1…


(ryanization) #5

only not this one…but most of the server i can’t join because of this…
i wanna find a REAL PLAYER server…not BOTS only…

I followed that tutorial, still got one of those 10%.

Disallowed Program/Driver [80249]

How to get rid of that kick+error?


($omator) #10

Disallowed Program/Driver kicks are caused by some software running in background (antyvir,firewall,deamon tools,steam,ipod, and so on list continues…) or by a virus/trojan/rootkit/whatever…

would suggest:
-scaning pc with combofix
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
-shuting down antyvirs, firewalls and all 3rd party non windows software (saw that error at google so thats probably some software/driver/process running in background)

if nothing helps submit a ticket to eb:
