Punkbuster has been having issues.
So, there is a manual fix for now. 3 Basics steps.
1: On your PC, go to ProgramFile>EA>BF> and delete the entire pb folder. 2: You can either google pbsvc and download or DL the pbfix.zip from this site. Run pbsvc.exe When completed go to step 3. 3: You can either google pbsetup and download or DL the pbfix.zip from this site. Run pbsetup.exe It will auto update/fix any issues.
This has been tested and validated. If there are any other issues, either PB is having new issues or its server side.

After years of barging over husky defenders on the gridiron, ex-Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown is attempting to tackle two serious video game heavyweights in court.
Brown has filed suit against Sony Computer Entertainment America and Electronic Arts over using his likeness in the popular Madden football series. He seeks a court order preventing either company from continuing to use his likeness in the franchise as well as damages stemming from trademark violation.
At issue is the starting running back on Madden's "All Browns Team." The character is African-American and bears the same jersey number Brown made famous -- number 32. In the suit, Brown claims that he "never signed away any rights that would allow his likeness to be used."
He also mentions that unlike today's players, he was not given the option to negotiate terms during his NFL heyday.
"The NFL had league wide policy that players shall have no lawyers or agents when negotiating compensation," he said in the complaint. "Video games were not invented yet and no union to obtain rights from existed.''
On another note, interested in joining a COD4 CGZ Clan?
CGZ is welcomed to use a server in conjunction with another clan. Its there and available. At this time they are not asking for funds, but I would encourage donations to help them out.
I would like to make the COD4 CGZ announcement official, but will only do so if I can get $45 in donations. This donation will be used to create a new COD4 CGZ site. I can offer the hosting for free, but it will take funds to cover a domain and "special" theme.
You probably have heard that Solem is trying to get CGZ CS back and going again. To help him in his support and interested in joining CGZ complete an app.
For the most part CGZ CS is looking for dedicated players to carry on the CGZ name. And of course the cost in running the server. Our ex host can provide a reliable server for 86 bucks. That would cover 3 months.
And to motivate you all, if Solem collects 3 months of server donations, PERSONALLY I will pay the next 3 months. How is that? The clan donates 3 months and gets 6 months.
I have been receiving many emails and IMs from folks asking about the WC3 CS mod and when it is returning. I dont know if Solem is planning on WC3 MOD. It is up to him.
Again, look at the top of the site and click on the APPLY link if you are interested in joining. If you want to donate, contact me directly since it is my Business Paypal account. I am also the acting general for CS only because I am the original founder and all I (CyberGameZone) can offer. Solem is the Core General.
According to a report by activist site Toward Freedom, for the past decade the search for a rare metal necessary in the manufacturing of Sony's Playstation 2 game console has fueled a brutal conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
At the center of the conflict is the unrefined metallic ore, coltan. After processing, coltan turns into a powder called tantalum, which is used extensively in a wealth of western electronic devices including cell phones, computers and, of course, game consoles.
Allegedly, the demand for coltan prompted Rwandan military groups and western mining companies to plunder hundreds of millions of dollars worth of the rare metal, often by forcing prisoners-of-war and even children to work in the country's coltan mines.
"Kids in Congo were being sent down mines to die so that kids in Europe and America could kill imaginary aliens in their living rooms," said Ex-British Parliament Member Oona King.
So where's the connection to Sony? According to Toward Freedom, during the 2000 launch of the PS2, the electronics giant was having trouble meeting consumer demand. To pump out more units, Sony required a significant increase in the production of electric capacitors, which are primarily made with tantalum. This helped drive the world price of the powder from $49/pound to a whopping $275/pound, resulting in the frenzied scouring of the Congolese hills known for being ripe with coltan.
Sony has since sworn off using tantalum acquired from the Congo, claiming that current builds of the PS2, PSP and PS3 consoles are sourced from a variety of mines in several different countries.
