Hey guys, got a problem and need help :-o
Every now and again I get a punkbuster kick telling me that I am 'losing key packets' followed by a string of (always different) numbers and letters.
Now, before you answer take the following into consideration:
I have heard many a tech-head say that it could be because of poor latency to the BF2142 servers, or has something to do with the line between here and everywhere else. The advice given has been to ensure that the PB client is enabled and running, latest patch is installed, don't run any other online resource stealers, restart the game, reinstall the game, restart machine, blah blah blah blah.
Now, other friends have been randomly getting the same kick, and although many tech-heads all say the same thing (all the above) they all say 'check your own end'. Now I have never had this problem with BF2142 and I have not changed ANYTHING regarding my hardware or software. I'm also pinging the servers below 50 (prior to being kicked).
Does anyone know if this is a fault within the latest patch? Is there some kind of outage that everyone knows about except me?
Please, no 'obvious' responses, I do know what losing key packets means, I just need to know how other players have been fixing it. Please only answer if you know what you are talking about.
Cheers guys
