Title: Kicked...Key packets
Post by: Naldo on May 19, 2011, 09:30:59 AM
Keep getting kicked for loosing keypackets.

My BC2 is through Steam. I have downloaded the PB client and manually updated BC2.

I am still getting kicked every other game. Is there anything elese I need to do?

Have a look HERE (http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2-pc/1053215-kicked-pb-losing-key-packets.html) a few posts and solutions to packet loss in BC2, also about giving punkbuster admin rights if your running windows 7.

You could try removing/deleting PB then a reinstall and manual update.

This might also help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHAM9D5MAmQ&NR

BTW. Does this happen on other servers?

Well looks like I found the issue with the packets and why my teamspeak is so bad...

Ouch! I would be straight on the phone to my ISP after checking all internet enabled devices in the house first. Router and modem reset might not do you any harm either.

The good wife does not use the internet mate :)

After I got kicked last night for the 4th time and comms really bad on TS, I checked on it. Can't belive I did not try this before. :doh:

Spent 2 hours with the ISP last night and got nowhere with them.
Try again today.

Also explains why I can't hit anything in game due to the lag.

DD, have you taken a look at the links Fazer and i posted?

Here is another link (http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsvcfaq.php) which could help.
QuoteSince the new components have been installed, I now get kicked from PunkBuster servers for  "handshaking failed" or "Losing Key Packets", how can I fix that?  
Some other software programs such as virus scanners, firewalls and Internet security software packages  are suspicious of any new services and kernel drivers when they are first released. Some of these will  block our new components thereby causing the "Losing Key Packets" kicking. Until these various  packages are updated to correctly identify PnkBstrA.exe, PnkBstrB.exe, and PnkBstrK.sys as components of the  PunkBuster Anti-Cheat System, players who experience PunkBuster kicks due to these conflicts  need to either manually adjust the settings of the other software running on their system  or disable the other software while playing on PunkBuster enabled servers. The new PunkBuster components make  use of network resources and also frequently update files in the Windows system folders.  This activity triggers warnings or blocks by some other security programs, some of which consider all  unknown programs as threats or malware. Our new components are simply extensions of the existing  PunkBuster system using new services and kernel software drivers, and are each signed with Verisign /  Authenticode digital signatures for verifiable authenticity purposes. Most major security packages  do not block our new components; users with other software that causes these conflicts should contact  the vendor of their security package and request an update to correct this conflict.

I think it may have been due to having "limited internet access" last night but if it happens again i shall look more into the links Cheers
