STICKY THIS! You need two files from Punkbuster. pbsvc.exe pbsetup.exe Make sure your out of the game of course. 1) Run the pbsvc.exe file and Uninstall Punkbuster services from your PC. 2) Delete the pb folder from your 2142 game directory. 3) This is the key. REBOOT If you uninstall and then install without reboot, it won't work. 4) After reboot, run pbsvc.exe again to put PB back on your PC. 5) Run pbsetup.exe and update your 2142 game. Since you deleted the PB folder, it will make a new PB folder in your 2142 directory. This method has worked EVERY TIME for me. The key is the reboot. You can't prevent it from happening again, so keep the files handy on your desktop.

I find logging into a different server for a while helps it update. Also, servers that run 24/7 style maps with 999 rounds yada yada don't update at all.

2142 has been experiencing a stat update problem since May 11th. EA Forums

My favorite beer of all time is "Konig Ludwig Dunkel" or King Ludwig's Dark. Only served in southern Bavaria. I like Killian's Red in a Frosted Mug. I'll stick a glass mug in the freezer and let it get a nice coat of frost. Smooth poor into the mug and hmmm good. I like a nice cold Sapuro in a bottle served with Japanese Steak House food. I like a nice cold Dos Equis or "DosXX" in a frosted snifter glass with a good Mexican meal. NEVER EVER......DRINK BEER FROM A CAN.....NEVER! For those in the New England area, just in case you didn't know. Samuel Adams sucks! Horse Piss. Try drinking a beer that doesn't make your mouth feel like Kancho put some RDX in your mouth and pulled the trigger with a pilsner after taste. The only Samuel Adams worth drinking is their "Cherry Wheat" beer and thats not common and usually only found in liquor stores and not bars. If you want something different than beer but just as alcoholic, try hard apple ciders like "Hornsby's Amber Hard Apple Cider".

Your assuming people want to be trained. While advice here and there is good for most players. Actual training is quite different. This requires more time than most Armory players are willing to give. If you need advice, then the appropriate forum for the game is just as good as any. If you want an individual players advice/training then ask. Most Armory members are willing to oblige.

Is there a real performance boost doing SLI with the two 7800 GTX's?

Yeah, make Dirdy an admin. Cause if you make me an admin, I'll drop the hammer on these noobs. If I spam need pickup and they drive off, Banned! They TK me while I'm commanding.....bannned!

I've noticed the trends as well. We need more admins with the ability to ban people for blatant TK's and Pod Exploiting. We've only got 3 admins that I know of and most of the time they aren't on during prime time or they are not playing BF 2142. I can tell you for a fact that many times the teams are lopsided because there is one or two exploiters capping back flags over and over. And because they aren't getting kicked, the teams are lopsided longer than they have to be. I've mentioned this before and I'll say it again. The auto kick for AFK needs to be less than 5 minutes. A very big part of the team imbalace comes from the loosing sides players often going AFK cause they don't care. Players usually go AFK after map changes. Maps are won and lost in the first 2 minutes of a map. We need to set the AFK kick for 2-3 minutes. Not 5. A 50 person conquest map lasts 15-18 miutes. We are literally allowing a spot to be filled by an afk player for 1/3 of a map.

How much for just the CPU?

The game was actually created by the Army as a recruiting tool and is supposedly the most realistic FPS out there. Because its free, alot of LAN game it. Never tried it myself.

His sig really needs to be of a cloaked bunny hopper.

They all look like good changes except the "Shooting through fences" change. Alot maps have fences and I thought it was fine the way it was.

Its an upgrade to your current beacon. Place your beacon on the ground and and your spawn time goes from 15 seconds to 10 seconds. Now, I'm not sure, but I think you only get the bonus time if the SL is alive. The reason I say this is I've been in squads with the 10 second spawn, I go to pod down on the beacon and then all of a sudden, I have to wait another 3 seconds. It may be only active when the SL is alive.
