Cant do multiplayer - PB Init Failure

tomo442 · 12-25-2007, 10:55 AM

ok i got this game today (christmas :D) and installed fine. Had exact same problem as harry_sood - i played single player perfectly then i tried to do multiplayer and got exact same message about safe mode. Jaso i followed ur advice and it worked fine but now whenever i join a server ill play for like 30 seconds and then i get kicked. A message comes up saying PB Init Failure. What does this mean and how can i stop it ???

Right-click the program and click "Run As Administrator".That should solve your problem.

this seems to have worked thanks.

im experiencing a problem with Crysis however. on 1024x700 and whatever resolution i cant play it even with all graphics on low quality. when i changed it down to the next one (i think 800 and something by 480) it worked fine. the next time i came on crysis though there was something wrong with the mouse. i had to put the mouse a couple of inches to the right of the option i wanted to select to actualy selet it. its like the mouse isnt adjusted to the new resolution or something. what could be the problem?
