| God whats that!? Someone might know - or even go to the help and support mob for the game. They have an answer for everything. They even do a live chat thing where u can type to them and get instant responses. I did that once - when on instant messaging with them - when my stats just REFUSED to update for like a week. They couldnt fix it but advised that there were others having the same issue and it was being investigated. About 4 days later it all came good. Something to try if no one can help you here mate? | |

| One thing that should fix that is if you reinstall the game and instead of choosing disc authentification, choose online authentification (it gives you the option and the end of the installation process i think). I know reinstalling and patching it all up is a bit of pain, but here is a link that explains the difference between the activation methods if you're interested ( link) Other things to check might be are you running the game as administrator, and do you have any virtual drives running from programs like daemon tools and alcohol. | |

| take it back to the shop you had it repaired at tell them the problems
metty is right reinstall the game and select online verification it saves always having the disc to play the game or you can go to GAME COPY WORLD and DL a NO CD FIX | |

| My friend got pwned for it.
Basically, Punkbuster scans the .exe file to make sure it matches the original file, as hacks are easy to inject into .exe files. This is in fact one of the easiest and most effective ways Punkbuster stops hacks, along with checking running processes that are interfering with the original .exe
If you use it just for singleplayer and things then you'll have no problems but if you're using it online you're on borrowed time. | |
