PunkBuster updates
- The Origin version doesn't contain or support PunkBuster.
Support for the anti-cheat software PunkBuster in BF1942 has been discontinued by Evenbalance. Most servers do not have it enabled anymore, as such it is recommended to move the contents of <path-to-game>/pb/
to a backup folder to avoid any disconnects by its service. If an up to date version is required however, follow the steps below.
