How many times is this here?  So I hoped into a Battlefield Bad Company 2 server on Team Rush (my favorite…Panama Canal), revive someone almost immediately, set the charge, kill someone and boom… An error on PunkBuster B not getting a handshake.  Neat stuff.  So I do an update…. I have 7 games installed that use PB…. Do they use dial up for updates at PB?  These are relatively small files and it shows 10 minutes for the update!!! While updating, it hits Battlefield 2 and errors out that it can’t copy a file from the temp directory to Battlefield 2: error 3: the system cannot find the path specified, followed by error #0121: ERROR: Could not copy xxx to xxx during HTM conversion.  I don’t use UAC so it’s not that.  Good stuff, PunkBuster… You’re a quality company.

When I went out to download the latest version (I thought it took care of itself), it prompts me for a security verification code… Huh? To download a file?  Are there people fraudulently downloading PunkBuster?  The nerve of people!!  Or is it that they suck so bad that people were downloading it over and over as a manor of a DoS attack?  Who knows.  Of course the update for a full install of, what 5, 10 mb(?) is now 34 minutes.
