Hi .. i just installed windows 7 and for some reason when i try to load into a map in project reality it kicks me reason being

 

RESTRICTION : service comunication failure : PnkBstrA.exe

 

Or something like that ... has anyone had this problem before and know how to fix it ? I have updated the punkbuster from the evenbalance website and still nothing nor do i have anything else installed only just 2 games and virus software etc ?

what av are you using?

 

Turn it off and then try

AV ? whats that ?

anti-virus software

ohh just avast . and will do

Trying turning your firewall off as well.

And have you tried using PBSVC yet? that may solve the problem http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Ok .. i ran as admin and manage to get in without it kicking me .. but all the ground is see through and looks weird.. also i have changed my AA settings and still no good

turn off aa altogether..

 

see if there are updates for your video card

If you alt-Tab while loading sometimes the ground goes invisible and stuff..

Ive never had a problem with AA before .. tried turning it off also still the same

Alt tab is working fine too ..

i did replace the my docs battlefield folder with my old one so im wondering if thats where all the problems are coming from so im fresh installing now

ok so far so good seems like its fixed

i still get see through floors ... have no idea ?

Are your GPU drivers all up to date?

Try the BF2 Alt-Tab fix, this happened with a couple other people and apparently the ALT-Tab fix sorted it out.

If the link for the file in that thread doesn't work, try this one:

http://planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=107

 

Instructions are on the page but if you need it put simply:

 

1. Download the file: RendDX9.dll

2. Go to C:/Program Files/EA Games/Battlefield 2 and then extract or place the file here, it will ask to overwrite, accept.

3. After you have done this, go to My Documents/Battlefield 2/cache and delete the folder in there, it will auto replace itself so don't worry.

 

After that, start BF2/PR and you should be good to go.
