Support / Re: Punkbuster issues
« on: Thursday, November 05, 2020, 14:53:11 PM »i guess i did find the solution now - with credits to aapg player Wraiths_Defiler and SF][-General_alkos!I also noticed the PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe were in the SysWOW64 folder. But since I don't regularly used Windows nowadays, I assumed it was fine.
it seems really like a problem of windows 10. there is a windows directory called system32 - for 64 bit apps.
now there is also a windows directory called sysWOW64 - for 32 bit applications. and this is the problem i guess. and because aa2 is a 32 bit application, you should find the punkbuster files on a 64 bit computer in this system32 directory. but it was not there for me (and i have a 64bit OS).
solution (i hope):
go to your c:\windows\sysWOW64 directory and copy the following files to c:\windows\system32.
PnkBstrA.exe
PnkBstrB.ex0
PnkBstrB.exe
PnkBstrB.xtr
reboot computer, start 25assist, join server. punkbuster updating will appear, maybe also a kick. then join server again. should work. if not, join 25assist with admin rights, go to install tab and run fix pb.
ps: i did this and now i can join a server without any kick since 20 minutes
But on my end, like mentioned, the files are in the SysWOW64 folder and only there (although there are log files under System32). And it seems to work just fine.
