PB does not seem to like something in your music.pak; meaning you've either edited it or it has become currupted somehow. If you do not have a backup of this file, you will need to reinstall the game.

That's really odd that PB would ding me for a non-essential piece of data. I deleted the music.pak because I don't play the music during online play, it's just one more thing to suck up system resources and hog hard drive space, and deleting it actually gave me a little fps boost. Maybe it wasn't a stellar boost, but every little bit helps.
Ok, I'll just snag it from the DVD, put it back where it needs to be, and then see if I have issues with connecting and staying in the game for any length of time.
As far as support goes, I saw your post NE responding to PB Ban site info about EB discontinuing support for Crysis and Crysis Wars. Yeah, it doesn't make a lot ot sense to not provide the most recent client updates "if" there's a problem with the program udating automatically. The response I got from EB today was just as stupid:

Note #4: Unfortunately PunkBuster support has ended recently for Crysis and Crysis Wars.

Wow EB, thanks for the detailed brush off "duh!"response. Anyway NE, thanks for looking up that info. I'll fix the issue and try connecting later on this week.
