Have you also reinstalled the PunkBuster services? A guide to do so is available here.

Run the .exe off your desktop.

Then run this from your desktop: http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Install/re-install
Unistall/remove

I can try "test service"

So what do i do ?

I try with pbsvc.exe and i play but fail

Hey Rodolf, i get on the Wolfenstein Enemy Territory Version 2.60b the same problem.

It is because Punkbuster runs some md5 checks i guess, i found a simple solution:

First of all join up a server on .6b and type

/pb_sv_sleep 500
/pb_security 0

Then wait a while (20-30 seconds) until the lag is gone, then you should be able to play lagfree.
This tip should also work with WolfET 2.55 & 2.56.

How to update PB's files, too:

Use Punkbuster update tool to add manually games and run a client/server update of pb.
http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloader/download.php?file=1


Or you can do it in-game also if the tool won't work for you:

Just do couple times /pb_sv_update and wait till you just get this response:

"PunkBuster Server: Master Query sent to (*******.evenbalance.com) ***.***.***.***."
"Punkbuster Server: Received Master Security Information"

It should be fine then, for me it works fine and for some other players also.
