If you downloaded through steam you need to change the directory to the steam one. Otherwise it will look for EAgames/bc2 something.
 
all battlefields auto go to EA games/ their respective folder or Electronic Arts folders. it depend where it installed at
 
For some reason when I used PB setup it told me that file directory did not exist. So I had to browse and go through steam/steamapps/common/battlefield bad company 2, and that updated it fine.
 
punkbuster using default folder of bad company 2, thank of letting people know about steam's way

please use this thread for updating PB. i am sure other people do not want to see update to pb :) .

Updated 3 times... even followed your guide the fourth. Un-installed pb/re-installed. Still auto boots me and gives me a 0 min ban, saying that init failed.
 
STICKY PLEASE?


So many people have this problem I think that we'd get a large amount of our userbase back.
