// B4: PunkBuster Client (v1.179 | A0) Enabled // after: PunkBuster Client (v2.110 | A0) Enabled //

Pro: Simple to use, toss into game's /pb and run

Con(?): not sure if this is sufficient to update an out-of-the-box pb_client installation into latest. it should although.

Hi all,
please help me!

I installed Win 7 64 bit, I downloaded the PBuster, copied to the folder PB BF 1942.
When I enter the game comes the message: the punkbuster error "service abnormality" every team I try to join. Could anyone help me?

Tks
Carla

I'm so confused, I downloaded "bf1942_win32" , but where do I put the files?

In your PB directory of the game.

C:/prgram files (x86)/EA Games or Electronic Arts/Battlefield 1942/pb

I got it off Origin, so do I do the same thing?

C:/Program Files (x86)/Origin Games/Battlefield 1942/pb

Put the files you got in the pb folder and that should do it.

Note: EA stopped supporting BF1942 PB software. So the version of the game from retail and origin are different. I don't know if you can put the PB files in the origin one.
