I've been playing crysis wars for about four months, and I like ST louis osf because of very low ping. I tried to play today and got kicked 3 times. Am I banned? I got my first nuke last night and was pretty stoked to try again today but I keep getting kicked. Whats up? I play as dirtfarmer7.
thanks
how can I tell if I've been banned?

we typically dont nuke on our servers, but its not a bannable offense (as far as i know), seems like a punkbuster issue to me

I remember seeing you in-game. I just checked and your GUID is not on our ban list. Like Visk said, it could be a PB issue. Try running pbsetup.exe to manually update so that your client version of PB matches the server's version.
If that doesn't work, have a look through your gamebuild.log file to see why you're getting kicked.

thanks, I'll reinstall PB

So basically noone knows where that is evil so heres a tut:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis Wars\LogBackups
Look at the most recent log and look for messages saying why you were kicked.

if that doesnt work then you might need to type:
pb_security 0
into your console

I reinstalled pb and I still get kicked, also there is no log from the session with osf server. I'm running the version of warhead from STEAM. I cant tell what version of Punk Buster I'm running. The exe file is called bsvc the directory is c:/programfilesx86/steam/steamapps/common/crysiswars/installers/pb/pbsvc I don't know how to identify which version of PB is on the osf server, do you have a link that I can download the the osf version of PB. Steam just updated their whole program so I had to re download and install crysis wars, and that is when I started getting kicked from osf & osf st louis. ---------thanks

Service communication failure is a common error that we all run in to. The log says PnkBstrB.exe initialization failed, so I think pbsetup.exe should fix the problem, which icomrade has provided a link to.
