Virus/SpyWare?


Hé Guys
If also have this punting problem,i tried all things that was said too try,but still no luck.
I also formatted my harddrive(just incase)
But after re-installing the game,the punting was still there.
So it is unlikely that it is a virus or spyware that is causing this.
If it was spy/virus then it can come only from the update.
Bhd was the first thing i installed.
I updated it(that was the only thing downloaded that day).
And when i joint a MP game i still got punted.
So that would mean if you updated your game you are letting in the spy/virus??
I am not saying impossible...but very unlikely.
My guess is that either the update(proberly)or the game has certain 3D Cards Support witch cause it to work only with a specifeid amount of video carts.
I have AMD2200+/1.8GH/256MbDDR/
32Mb phantom

Ps Maybe it has nothing to do with it but
When i installed the game(like for the 5 time) before formating i noticed that the the file blinkw32.dll was missing in 3 instalation accasions.

Same prob here!


I too get the 5 second punt problem and I've racked my brains trying to figure it, but still have the problem.
I've updated everything on my PC after a fresh installation of XP. Direct X, mainboard, all drivers blah blah are completely updated. I have a Ge-Force F5200, 256mb in my machine (yes updated!) but still have this lowsy problem, annoying as I seem to be the only one in the squad with this problem, and have probably got the best PC!! Can't enter no matches :-(

5 sec punt


This is getting beyond a joke, have had BHD installed and working fine for 6 months without any 5 sec punt problem.
Installed BHD Team Sabre and now have the dreaded 5 sec punt problem.
Does anyone have a solution yet?:(

You can check your pings if you are running a cable modem directly without going on BHD. Try the following

- click START
-click RUN
-type CMD click OK
-type ping www.yahoo.com
-(make sure u put a space after the word ping)
-hit ENTER
-what happens yahoo checks to see how long it takes for your modem to talk send and recieve back
-at the bottom look for where it says AVERAGE=
-should be somewhere around 25
-If it says anything over 120 and u r on cable, then your connection is junk
-do this a few different times within 5 min and see if it comes back with a high ping.
GOOD LUCK

Well I didn't have this problem before :), then I reinstalled XP just to clear all the old files/demos/games from the machine machine and now I do. Its not so much of being booted after 5 sec more like if I shoot I get booted to the login screen, but this only happens at peak gaming times, other time I can play no problems.

I have cable 1.5 meg, but my ping times normally vary from 65ms to 300ms, but can peak higher than that :(. One thing I have noticed that ping time have gone up since JO servers have come online.

I don't see this problem in JO but do have trouble connecting to Nova to login, but once in everything is fine, ie no booting..

This would cause you to get punted from the server.. so is your ping to the server high?


Oki when this first started happening to my friend e though this too.. but when u get punted from a games doesnt it tell you.. (i could be wrong but when im punted coz of high ping it told me). He is on a 56k and this could of been the problem.. But when he reinstalled and didnt update he could join games fine even tho he is on a 56k... personally i think this is something in the patch.. my advice to any thats havin probs like this dont update untill nova release a newer patch, which will hopefully solve this problem.

yes it does.. he tried nova servers, public servers and i even hosted for him.. each time 5 secs after joining he wud get punted

No, there is no error after being punted it just puts him straight back to the main page.

Thats all i can help you with.. this aint a problem i have suffered from myself but did spend sumtime trying to help my friend with the problem.. and did sort it out by not updating, however not sure if he can join servers that use the update..
Man just reinstall the game, don't update and it should be fine! Worked for me;)

If you don't have DirectX 9.0c this can also cause punting after 5-10 secs

I recently had this problem.

After uninstalling, DELETE the Novalogic Folder. You have to do this.

Also as stupid as this sounds, take the Team Sabre disc out of the computer. I failed to do that and I got punted every 5 seconds.

Reinstalled, updated (not in game) and put BHD disc in and no more issues.

By the way this is just after a fresh reformat.

I was getting the 5 second autopunt on the LAN- The thing that finally fixed it was opening the DFV.cfg file in notepad and applying the following settings:

allowcustomskins = 1
servermsg = "Enter host message here"
minping = 0
dominpingcheck = 0
maxping = 100000
domaxpingcheck = 0
dirtyupstream = 0
dirtyupstreampost = 0

I don't think the maxping setting did anything but the punt problem may have been due to the custom skins setting or drityupstream.
