Hey guys, wondering if I could get any help here, the MoH forums, steam forums etc are way too packed with creepsters.
 
1. I download MoH MP
2. First time launch, PB installer pops up, I accidentally hit the "do not install" button or i disagree or whatever it was
3. the game starts regardless and what do you know i get an error saying i need to install pb when i try to join a server, thats what i expected after i fed up
3. i go into the MoH files in my Steam folder and find the PB install file and run it.
4. start up Multiplayer again, try to join a server, same error "you need to install PB"
5. made sure the pb services were running, put the updates in the pb file like it says on the punbuster website, same error.
6. uninstall MoH, reinstall...same fing error.

Any help?

just by the way i did the initial launch right the second time, installed PB etc, still same error

    Did you uninstall the beta?
     
    This was a problem with BFBC2 that is why I am asking.
    Btw tell me how bad the game is.  If it is not half bad I may get it when it drops in price.

    Go to the punkbuster website and download the manual updater. I use it for several games that don't auto update PB themselves
    Punkbuster/support and the manual updater file is PBSETUP
    http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php
    To use the updater for steam games you need to "Brouse" for the correct game path

    Thanks guys, but the MoH files are not up on that PB self updater yet. Can't find it in the drop down list. 
     
    So far, the singleplayer of the game is what you'd expect, maybe slightly better. And the multi player is fairly similar to CoD. Everyone says its a BFBC2 clone but I just don't see it. I know i know, same devs, same engine. And yeah, there are similarities, but its more like CoD in my opinion than it is like BFBC2. I LOVED BFBC2, the most fun I've had with one game in years, (besides maybe SC2, I never played the first SC though so SC2 is fresh to me) So I wouldn't be opposed to it being closely related to it.

    Try this man. I'm pretty sure it will fix you right up.
     
    1: Download and run this. http://punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
     
    2: Uninstall punkbuster with the above file. (precautionary measure)
     
    3: Reopen the file from step 1 and install punkbuster.
     
    4: download and install this: http://www.evenbalance.co..wnloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe
     
    If the last step succeeds and finishes the tests. You should be good to go. The reason I say uninstall first is a safety measure. Should clear up any registry hiccups.
     
    Hope it works for you.

    You ran the right file... you just need to make sure you run it as Admin
    (and make sure nothing else is running when you do)
