Support / Re: Punkbuster issues

i guess i did find the solution now - with credits to aapg player Wraiths_Defiler and SF][-General_alkos!
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
