It's caused by server instability most likely. They could be stress testing their servers since they just sent out a bunch more beta invites.

What time do you usually play? Try playing it during off times. I have issues with it around 10-4pm est.

I usually play around 19:00 - 24:00 West-European time? Or idk the timezone here.

I do also have the 'You have been kicked by Punkbuster (15)' error, even though i don't hack 0.o

Try to manually update your PB and see if it works. It could also be a firewall causing it so you could try to disable them. I know zonealarm / McAfee doesn't agree with punkbuster.

I had a similar problem, try changing the compatibility of your internet browser to run in administrator mode if you run vista.

Forgot people actually use vista :( That should also fix it.

Have you tryed it on different characters?

I looked up the error, it's related to PB, so hopefully updating it will fix it.

People who were using aimbots before the last patch have started seeing the message too.

phiser bot "PB" likes to sniff through all your files, so no wonder anti virus and firewalls don't like it. i don't like it either, god knows what crap it is lifting off your system...

I did try different characters,  guess i need some help updating PB manually.

How fast is your connection and computer? Punkbuster kicks people if they're lagging "alot" or if they have poor fps.

fps is system side, connection, or ping is what matters :D

Thanks guys, it worked out and i didn't have connection problems anymore, BUT, now while i'm playing for like 10-20 minutes, my pc shuts down and i would have to wait for like a min otherwise it won't turn on. It sounds like a motor who can't start, any ideas?  :confused:

Sounds like you've got overheating problems.

Yah that was my first thought too, but if i turn my pc on and go play then after 15 mins it shuts down? How could it be overheated?

I don't see any topic about my problem, it is probably a problem that i do ONLY have?

Anyway, yesterday i was able to play like 6 rounds, even though i usually can only play 1-2 rounds.
