Help? Link to comment

Does the error happen when logging in, or when connecting to a server? I assume you tried rebooting your computer. Try verifying the game cache. Check if you have a firewall blocking the connection? If that fails, try updating Punkbuster. Is that fails, you could try contacting EA support. Link to comment

It says for login and looking for servers. It's allowed through my firewall but the one thing i havnt tried is...rebooting my compputer. When it's finished downloading and it doesnt work i'll try tht xD Link to comment
Harry Posted January 30, 2011 Content Count: 2085 Joined: 04/19/10 Status: Offline Share Posted January 30, 2011 you dont have punbuster You do. That's the anticheat in BC2. Check out \Steam\steamapps\common\battlefield bad company 2\pb and \Steam\steamapps\common\battlefield bad company 2\install\PunkBuster. Hopefully the reboot will work, that's a "try this first" fix, as it solves 90% of problems. Link to comment

No exe EDIT: It's in Install then PNKBSTER Also Bullgaurd firewall and Windows firewall are letting punkbuster through and BC2 Edited January 30, 2011 by Strike Link to comment

You can check for updates by running http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php (though it should update automatically). Try rebooting your computer first though, it might fix it. Could also check if your router has a firewall blocking it, if the reboot doesn't help. Link to comment

Bob Loblaw Posted February 7, 2011 Content Count: 3697 Joined: 01/07/09 Status: Offline Share Posted February 7, 2011 I had this exact same thing. When running through steam it doesn't run the updater. Go into the folder and run the BC2 updater manually (may take a while). 100% guarantee this works because this is exactly what happened to me until I figured it out. Link to comment
