My friend and I ran the wiser file and received the same message.  However we sifted through the README's for 101. 102 and PB and couldn't find any info on what the problem is.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

It seems when I start my own server to play the new maps on, just me no one else, that it crashes on the new maps, not any of the old ones.....  have not tried them all, but 2 new maps I tried, it just quit....
So something is missing.. and my last choice is to remove it all and re-install it !! aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh  have  to find 1.01, etc.. oh well.....
strangest error I have seen for a week

Do a manual installation.

I can't play in PB games, I AM NOT CHEATING, because I'm not gay, so whats wrong with that? I deleted all the extra stuff and did manual install and I still can't play.

Do you see the "Punkbuster: No" above the server list? You need to change that to: "Punkbuster: Yes."

According to the http://sof2.ravensoft.com/faq.htm a manual install is performed as following:

"3. What if the file sizes don't match up?  Can I do a manual install?

Yes, you can do a manual install. If your file sizes don't match up for one or more .pk3 files, for example, you can put CD #1
in your CD-ROM drive, browse the CD and manually copy and paste the files from the CD into the install directory on your
hard drive.  Do so until your file sizes match those listed above.

If your CD is clean and undamaged and the files refuse to copy off the CD without errors, the CD was likely damaged during the duplication process and should be returned to your local game retailer for an exchange.

Open the new game after you exchange it in the store to check for the CD key and to see if there is any damage on the new CD."

THIS MAY HELP:

I directed my friend who was having problems similar to those presented by many of you to update DirectX, he did and now patched version works fine.  Not sure if this will work for all, but would give it a shot.  Just because you have DirectX 8.1 doesn't mean you have the latest release.
