Well i got this game recently, i played single player, awsome experience, so i went to multi, when i got in, all the textures where white, with black windows, i came  here for instructions, downloaded that program that checks the install, fixed the pk3 corrupt files, i go in a server, i still have the boxes, as i was asking for help, Punkbuster banned me? why? now iam banned from ALL secure servers, ive had this game for 1 day.

well the white boxes is because of a bad pk3, so reinstall the game or get the texture pk3 from the cd and paste it into the main sof2 folder.

As for the punkbuster thing, it could be your graphics card, which one you have? if its a gforce, what driver?

Its an Integrated Intel 845G Video Card =\

my specs:

P4 1.7 ghz
256 mbram
64mb Intel Video Card

well then Im sure someone else can help

Sorry

supported video cards

All Nvidia GeForce Series

All ATI Radeon Series

All PowerVR Kyro Series

Nvidia TNT 2 series

ATI Rage 128

Matrox G550

Important Note: * Some 3D accelerator cards with the chipsets listed here may not be compatible with the 3D acceleration features utilized by Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix. Please refer to your hardware manufacturer for 100% full OpenGL compliant drivers.


so ya may need a better vid card  ..or check with the system manufacturer   or www.intel.com and  see  if there  is an updated driver  for your  onboard  video card  that may help ..  

i will tell ya tho, most onboard vid cards  do suck ..
and disableing them  and  recouping that used system ram  and adding a dedicated *supported * AGP card will  help alot

if your system does not have an agp slot try a geforce  fx 5200  pci model card

I have a radeon 9800 card and i get the sam freakin punk buster ban.
I have had this game for 2 days. this sux

ah, punk buster, POS. Keeps the paranoids happy (as happy as they could be) and keeps the cable feeling like 56k.

What we need is ap buster. To get rid of crap like PB.

I've heard that BF1942 is going punk buster, man that game is allready just this side of playable. I expect PB will redefine lag for that game aswell.

Personaly I would rather let the underdeveloped people use their hall wacks and lamebots (which I have NEVER even suspected anyone of using in sof2 ever, though I know they do), then have my experience stunted and dulled due to inforced PB lag.

I play alot of games now and then, though less and less these days cause every time I fire up quake, RTCW or SOF2, PB has to do it's update. What is this 1986? Shouldn't have to wait so long for crap to load to play a freaking game.

But hey, at least PB lets me play. Sorry about your luck guys. I recommend an email to raven explaining how it becomes pointless to buy their product when it comes with a free lifetime ban! (assuming you DID buy it) I know when I'm in store choosing a new game it's going to be the one with out PB.

sorry about the post. I think I need a whine buster!

Unfortunately you don't always get the option... usually developers like to slip PB in months after the game comes out.

PB is just there to give some people something to do. Go read the punkbusted forum, it seems the people there are more excited about using PB to catch cheaters or accusinng peple of cheating and claming they have better cheat detector in their head than playing the game. Then again, after reading a cheat forum, I see that people that make cheats are more excited about programing cheats than playing the game... I think people should realize playing the game should be more important than catching cheaters and making cheats, then we wouldn't need PunkBuster to screw with the game...
