*Beware!!!!*

Thank you all for bringing this to our attention. This seems to be a new issue that just popped up, so we think something may be awry on the server side. Both SCI and the PunkBuster crew are currently investigating this and we hope to have it resolved as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.

This appears to be a firmware issue with certain brands of broadband modems. The new Gamespy SDK apparently has triggered a bug in the firmware. This didn't happen in 1.7 because it used the older Gamespy SDK. At this time, all we can do is urge people to upgrade their firmware. Otherwise, as other games upgrade to the new Gamespy, you'll continue to see this problem.
Becareful because this can risk your honor.

Is this the "Unknown Reason" kick?

whenever i get on a 1.9 server, i am dropped, is this the reason y that happens?

If it is the reason, that really sucks, cause i have a Linksys BEFSR41 - EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch AND the latest firmware. oh well, like i said in my other posts, i guess i'll have to wait til 2.0 or higher :( :'(

Your router should be upgraded. Yeah, a new pc would be good, but that's really all that needs to be upgraded or else you will be booted from servers until version 2.0 comes out.

could my router also be the reasson why i can't view the servers, when i click refresh list? if so, that would kill two birds with one stone :)

It's two separate issues.

1. SCI and Punkbuster have found a problem with a setting in PB causing the "unknown reason" kicks. It is not a problem on official servers and, on some unofficial servers, it's been resolved.

2. Some broadband modems will cause you Internet connection to drop if you play AA:O. Abraxas recommended upgrading your modem's firmware. If your experiencing this problem (few are), contact your cable modem's manufacturer for more info.

Again, these are two separate issues that are not related to each other. In other words, the "unknown reason" kicks have NOTHING to do with your cable modem's BIOS.

Like Joe Napalm just said, it's your firmware... I would just recommend getting a new modem with different firmware. I've got a motorola cable modem and I rarely get dropped from servers.

Re: *Beware!!!!*
 
im a cheapskate, is the motorola cheap? my two probs are i get dropped from everyone, doesnt matter whether they are official or unofficial), and i cant see the servers, i have never lost my connection the the net(thank god :) )

i dont have firmware for my cable modem, you must mean the cable router...right?
