Battlefield 2 - PB Problem
- Thread starter Hyper
- Start date
Received this stupid GUID Ban thing last night, have never cheated, and hate the hackers, and now get the standard response from PB
Have gone back to them trying to find out what was banned (account/hardware/serial) and listed the apps I have running and that i tried it on Vista as well.
Seems before you try any of these games on Vista you have to do a search to see if it will affect anything. Seems after reading here that taking the time to install BF2 on Vista and trying it out was probably the worst possible thing to do, not only did i find the performance poor, but now i get GUID banned.
What annoys me even more is that through no fault of my own i get given the boot from a game I love playing, and its not like I'm some stupid punk kid, I'm 47 yrs old, its my relaxation, and now I'm being done over because a stupid program doesn't like Vista.
There is so much cursing and swearing I could do right now :lol:

Guys,
If this is not useful to you or has already been posted, please forgive me but it may or may not help. I am part of a BF2142 clan and one thing Ive got used to is dealing with is PB problems.
One way to get a global ban lifted it to apply through http://www.pbbans.com, If the ban includes a screenshot of you cheating basically your screwed!:banng: (Some EA global bans arent listed at PBBans)
The vast majority of PB problems have been caused by Firewalls and Punkbuster not liking each other. Because PB autoupdates often you firewall registers the program as new, forcing you to go back and exempt it in your Program exemptions. This has caused PB bans in the passed, PB creates the ban when you get the lossing packets kick and restricted program kick to many times in a row in a short space of time.
Also Ive attached a possible solution from one of my clan mates that may help some folk.
Hope its useful to someone

Fusion said:Now this could work for any of you however I kept digging and found out a solution that fixed all of those errors for me so here it is:
The problem lies in a .sys file named Orean32.sys this is a game security file with rootkits but instead of securing the game it just ruins it. Simply removing the file wont help since Battlefield will just place it back the next time you start it up so here is what you do.
Go to start and then Run.
At Run Type CMD to open a command prompt.
When you opened the prompt (a black screen with some lines in it) type:
Net Stop Oreans32
Some data will appear and then type:
SC Delete Oreans32
Some more data will appear and you can close the prompt now.
After you did all the go to:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and delete the file called Oreans32.
Reboot your PC and enjoy the game
Notes: This fixed the said error for me but I dont know if it will fix other errors too.
Before you start doing this for other errors please first try updating your Video Card Drivers and Update Punkbuster
