Bad Company 2 - PB Init Failure

[Am_Wamika]

Hello guys,

I have successfully completed the 'singleplayer mode" of the awesome game called Bad Company 2. Now, I am trying to play the "multiplayer mode". But, Bad Company 2 gives me the PB Init Failure error message. I know that there has to be Punkbuster installed in the system for connecting to the server and for the "multiplayer mode". I have installed the same, but still I am getting this error.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate operating system. Kindly provide some help as soon as possible and thanks in advance.

The Bad Company 2 - PB Init Failure is an irritating problem that this game is giving. Anyways, some of the users have solved this problem with the help of the option for "run as administrator". This option will force the game to run forcefully, bypassing any block that the operating system is giving. So, you will have to try using the same option to eradicate this particular situation.

It is possible that the Bad Company 2 - PB Init Failure is being caused because the Punkbuster software that you have installed may incompatible with the Windows 7 operating system. There is a need to run the hardware and software evaluation toll in your system and check if this software is listed among the compatibilities or the incompatibilities of the system.

Wish you Good Luck.......
