Summary: Battlefield Heroes: Punkbuster doesn't work as it should Product: Wine Version: 1.3.19 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: daniel.skorka@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de
Everything works, except that within a few seconds after joining a game, I get the message --- PB IMPORTANT: RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe ffbf --- after which I'm kicked by Punkbuster.
If you want to confirm this bug, installation is pretty straightforward: Go to website, create account, make sure you are running a windows browser - I used Internet Explorer 8 - then click Play Now. The plugin will install, followed by a new window which will download and install Battlefield Heroes. The main interface should start then, but you'll need msvcp90.dll
