Default Punk buster and Vista


Yes, that's right, another problem with punkbuster and Vista =/
After say, 25-30 mins of gameplay on battlefield 2142 pressing the esc
key crashes the game, so does a map change. Also after 45 or so mins the
game crashes anyway. If either of these crashes happen My comp gets a
complete recourse lock up and I have to restart it via the button. It
worked fine when I had xp but since getting a vista comp this is what
happens (Means I don't play it much, lol)

This problem might have already be addressed but looking through 142
pages for a thread about this is a bit too much lol. I've recently
wanted to start playing 2142 again but it's kinda hard when it keeps
crashing all the time, when I'm in the middle of destroying the enemy

Two things.

142 pages in a thread is how most of us have to find the answers, what makes
you think you're not going to get to enjoy the fun in that?

....and also, what makes you think its punkbuster? Are you running something
you shouldn't be? I haven't read about Vista giving large amounts of issues
to punkbuster (it's used in more games than battlefield).

As always, start with making sure you have the latest patch for your game
installed. Punkbuster did have some compat issues with Windows Vista at
release, but they've been fixed for some time.
