Today I was playing as normal, and I started getting kicked out of all servers, even our own, for:

Punkbuster B.exe- Heartbeat Stopped.

It worked fine yesterday, I've never had this issue, and I have no issues with BF2, indeed, PB isn't set up with BF2 cause I got it through steam.

I've tried reinstalling PB, updating PB, nothing works. I will probably have to make a ticket, but I was hoping someone here could help first.

PLEASE HELP!!! )=
 
usually the heartbeat is from connection lag; if you are having up & down issues with your connection speed you will get this.

Unlike Mac, I don't have kids watching online Anime while I'm playing. lol

But, I find that odd, they few times I got on a server, my connection was A-OK, ping normal, not having issues with anything else )=

Unless its purely punkbuster....stupid program.

Is this just something I have to wait and see if it fixes itself?
 
heartbeat stopped I just rejoin the server and doesn't happen again.

If you are still have issues maybe you can manually update your PB from evenbalance website
 
I had that exact same problem with 2142 when I used to play it. I believe the problem was related to lost packets or something of that nature. Have you tried tried running pbsvc to see if there is a problem?
 
Thats what I meant by re-installing. Ran it (pbsvc) twice, said tests completed without error.
Took BF2142 off the list, added it, updated, nothing.

I've probably been kicked from about 7 servers, normally after 30 seconds. I played 2 rounds of TBG Suez, after being kicked twice from that. Now nothing works.

I'm opening a ticket, but that will take a few days of course )=
 
I would run the pbsetup and add all your games to pb manually. I have had to do that to get it to update at times. I am also sure the anime they were watching was Hentai.
 
That should fix it! I confused the two. Manually updating with pbsetup will fix the problem. LULZ at Mac's reply!
 
I went back and re-added the game manually. Then clicked update. Like the last time I did that, it informed me no updates were needed.

I'll go try to rejoin a server now, see if anything has changed.
 
Have you tried re-starting your computer after re-installing PB? That was my problem once.... xD
 
It was working. Until memory error, which completely crashed my entire computer, erased my Ventrilo info and did god knows what else.

The sooner I get that computer built, the better.
 
Its working now. So I dunno what fixed it or what caused it in the first place.
