Online play support
The Qtracker service currently runs a master server for the game.
Either downloading a patched executable or editing the Windows hosts file will restore the in-game server browser functionality.
It is also possible to join a server directly by using the command line argument ____ (see the Game Tracker server list) or see GameSpy for alternatives.

PunkBuster updates
Support for the anti-cheat software PunkBuster in BFV 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/

If an up to date version is required however, follow the steps below.
